Yes, this is a sidewalk. It was beautifully shoveled on Thursday, but the snow plow came by and plowed it under again. Don't give 704 and 7014 S Eastside Drive a ticket, because we have done our duty and our sidewalks were clean.
Sidewalk not clear along W. Howe St. in front of Building and Trades park. Isn't this a City property?
500 S. Rogers St. on the Southwest corner of Howe and Rogers has no cleared their sidewalk.
601 W. Howe St. has not cleared their sidewalk
If you haven't already, you might see whether 1223 E Maxwell and/or 613 S Highland Ave. can please remove the snow from their sidewalks. Although the neighborhood has frequently reminded residents to do so, and neighbors have volunteered those too sick or elderly to do so themselves, these two residents continue to leave their sidewalks completely full of snow. Thank you for your kind help as we work to having safer sidewalks for pedestrians. I appreciate it.
The connector paths on Olcott Park trail from Mill Stone Way and Jackson Creek Middle School did not get plowed at all this year. No way for students to get from school parking lot to make it through Olcott Park to the adjoining neighborhood. Very dangerous walking up/down the paved connector path from Mill Stone Way to Olcott Park Trail. These were overlooked this year. The thaw/refreeze of the snow made these access trails very dangerous
The north sidewalk between Indiana & N Dunn tends to get extremely muddy and hazardous when it rains or snows, and remains that way for a long time. Maybe the location of 518 is the spot, but I don't know the house numbers; the problem spot is about the 2nd house from Indiana. I have been experiencing this for many years, so this has gone unattended. Another location in which snow removal is never done: the south sidewalk on 6th St., off of Dunn, in front of the 3 houses where students live.
This will be my 4th winter in bloomington as I am a senior in college and this city really needs some MAJOR renovations to the roads, sidewalks, trees blocking stop signs, etc. My particular issue right now is the extreme safety issue that it poses when the city fails to salt the sidewalks. In my hometown, there was RARELY a time that it snowed and there wasn’t salt on every sidewalk in town, or at least the sidewalks that any students would need to use to walks or ride buses to school. I understand that Bloomington is a bit of a larger town and some of this could be an issue for the IU campus management too, but it seems like the city fails to salt the sidewalks if they ever even do. They should be ensuring that sidewalks get salted even if there isn’t a high chance of snow. For example, tonight at the IU purdue game on november 30th, I saw so many people slipping and sliding and it did not seem like there was any salt on the sidewalks anywhere near 17th street. I almost fell multiple times and I was closely looking at the ground for salt and it did not seem like there was any. I have also noticed similar issues in previous years when there has been snow, the sidewalks are never salted or cleared for students walking to class from off campus. I know you can probably only control what is considered the city of bloomington and not IU campus, but if we are going to care enough about safety to line the entirety of 17th street’s sidewalks with fences and security guards, you would think the least you guys could do would be put down some salt. I’m really failing to understand why it is SO hard for this city to put salt down, like my dad taught me how to salt our driveway when I was like 14. I swear I could put salt down all of 17th street faster than this city could because this city isn’t even capable of maintaining streets and sidewalks that aren’t covered in potholes and uneven surfaces.
Very large mound of plowed snow blocks the critical bike/ped access on W Allen at the bridge between Walnut and Morton. Thank you in advance for resolving (and hopefully not letting it keep happening).
Snow has not been removed from the sidewalks in front of the Marathon station and bus stop at Country Club and S Walnut. Snow has not been removed from the walking trails/sidewalk from the bridge all the way east along Country Club -
