Traffic Related Complaints

100 Highway 46

Case Date:
1/3/2014

Compact ice and snow builds up on the ped/bike underpass. It's extremely treacherous and NO ONE seems to even care enough to lay down some salt. The multi-use path up east 7th street along Park Doral apartments also sees little to no cleaning, but is supposed to be part of a vital pedestrian and bicycle artery. It might be cold, but we're still trying to use this without killing ourselves.

Street Snow Removal

3404 E Brookstone CT

Case Date:
1/5/2014

Please plow and salt Brookstone Court to the back of the court. The back is located between 3400 and 3404 E. Brookstone Court. I attached a photo highlighting the area in blue that is currently left unsalted and unplowed. When this area isn't treated, the tire-packed snow ices up for several days. I checked neighboring courts (such as Kings, Dale, Taylor, and Chaudion) and found them completely clear while Brookstone was 2/3 snow & ice covered. I only expect a path to the back of the court, so please make sure driver follows a path similar to the red arrow in the photo to the back of the court. Thanks!

Inaccessible Parking

917 W Cardinal CT

Case Date:
1/5/2014

There is a parking space on Cardinal Ct next to #921 that I use when I can't get in our driveway (I have a disability), but the snow plows have been piling the snow there. It also creates an obstacle for the mailman. Another place the snow got piled in the last storm was in front of our and our other neighbor's mailboxes, so that our mailman had to get out and climb over the mound of snow to deliver our mail, for a week or two after the last snow storm. I hate to complain, especially when there's a storm and a lot of extra work to do, but this seems dangerous for him. We live on a culdesac so there are other places the snow could be piled instead of these two spots, which would help us and our mailman greatly. Thank you for all you do!

Street Snow Removal

Case Date:

Cardinal Ct and RCA Park Drive need to be plowed, is it possible a crew can come and do this before the snow and slush freeze? Currently there are deep tire tracks in the snow, and when that freezes, or even now when it's slush, it's very tough to drive on. Seems like it could start getting really cold out there and freeze soon, I'm hoping someone will be able to come out and plow again before that happens. Thank you! Stay warm!

Street Snow Removal

2125 E Melville CIR

Case Date:
1/6/2014

Early morning on Monday 1/6/14 a city snow plow somehow got his blade extended past the curb at the front of my property and plowed up as much as 30 to 40 SF of sod from the area between the back of the curb and the sidewalk. I suppose legally this area is city ROW, but it will still need to be repaired come next spring. Thank you in advance for your help.

Sidewalk & Curb Complaints

Case Date:
1/6/2014

Sorry, but this was the most appropriate place I could find. I think the street department does a terrific job. However, I have a complaint about the actions of a snowplow. I live at 344 S. Rogers st. I went out several times yesterday to keep my front sidewalk clean. Sometime after 8 pm a snowplow came by so fast that snow was thrown not only on my sidewalk but also on the retaining wall next to the sidewalk, see the picture. What is even more annoying is that the same snowplow did not do this to my next door neighbor. I hope that in the future the snowplow driver will have more understanding of the problems with going too fast and ruining a homeowners hard work. Thank you

Potholes, Other Street Repair

Case Date:
1/13/2014

Large areas of potholes, some very deep, on Highland Avenue. The worst area is just north of Winslow Road, where the Winslow Trail merges with the sidewalk on Highland. Often filled with water so it is difficult to tell how deep they are when driving. Also, large areas of potholes are present on both sides of Rogers Road, toward the top of the hill at the entrance to The Stands neighborhood (up the east hill from the Winslow/High/Rogers Roundabout). Thank you!!

Street Snow Removal

3404 E Brookstone CT

Case Date:
2/5/2014

The snow in Brookstone Ct. should be plowed to the back of the court between 3400 and 3404 (see attached photo). Otherwise over 2/3 of the court will simply ice over with traffic and sub-freezing temperatures through the weekend. Also, this was previously requested on 1/5. After the request, the driver did a great job throughout January, so thanks to him! I think he drove truck # 4940. Just need to continue plowing to the correct spot.

Is there a way that you could lessen the snow mound heights at Bloomington Ferry Road and Lindstrom? It's almost impossible to see around them unless you pull out into the intersection. Someone has already gotten broadsided there--you can see the skid marks and the broken glass. Thank you
