My street hasn't been shoveled and cars are skidding on their way out. This wasn't a problem in the past. Only one side is slightly cleared and that's not the side closest to my driveway. This is Laurelwood Court.
This is my second year reporting this issue. My family purchased this home on a cul-de-sac 4 years ago. Last year we removed our mailbox and installed a retaining wall because of already existing poor driaining issues in our area and the city keeps piling snow on top of our property and now the wall. I called Sunday evening and the woman I spoke with said, "cul-de-sacs" were tricky and the guys were out there long hours and were working in bad conditions while being exhausted. But she would be sure to give Joe my address and he would look into my complaints." I called Sunday because the had packed up a huge amount once again on our wall and blocked off half of my driveway. I was then told if we could get in and out of our driveway this should not be an issue or an emergency. Understandable but if the job was successfully completed then first time you would not have to come back. I woke up Monday not surprised to see even more snow had been packed up to our ever growing pile. So my issues are where is all this water going? There is no drainage in this area and all this snow will cause hazardous conditions with melting and freezing and having nowhere to go. Why are you bringing all of the snow into our cul-de-sac? Why are you continuously putting snow on a stone wall where someone could get injured after I have now reported it three times? There are a ton of kids in our neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods and kids like to jump in big piles of snow. I will not be held liable because the city of Bloomington will not listen to or work with its residents. Finally when you contact the city of Bloomington instead of working with you why do they always seem to retaliate against you and make the situation worse? This is what happened last year when the plow driver asked me how I suggested he plow with my "plow experience." I have many other picture but this shows the pile today and how large it is and how spread out the city left. If it snows anymore my neighbors might not be able to back out of their driveway. Is this acceptable??
Housing pipes burst and water has frozen over onto the street.
I had filed a claim earlier asking Bloomington to stop pushing snow on my retaining wall and that you had only plowed half of my drive. A driver came back and plowed and broke our wall. I have tried to email because the closed the claim saying resolved, but as you can see now that the snow has melted a little this situation is clearly not resolved. We paid $4000.00 for this retaining wall. I have called, emailed, my husband has come to your office and this is now my second claim. Please help!!
Our culdesac is never fully plowed when it snows. The driver just comes In and does one sweep. In past years they have gone around the culdesac and managed to clear it entirely.
There is a lot of snow/ice around the West 12th Street and West Georgia Avenue area.
Several properties along the south side of W Howe street have not cleared their sidewalks of ice and it is very slippery. The exact locations are: 811 W Howe, 807 W Howe, 801 W Howe, 731 W Howe. Additionally, 500 S Rogers (SW corner of Howe and Rogers).
While there are multiple street lights in this area, none of them are turned on before sunrise, which is later and later every day now. When I walk to the bus stop every morning (around 7:15 am), the street is so dark I can barley see my own feet, and if not for a nearby back porch light the 6 bus stop (at Kinser Pike and the Arch) would be pitch black. Can't wait to see this fixed! Thanks so much!
Something changed with the timing of the 10th and Union light a few weeks ago, resulting in huge backups of eastbound traffic on 10th St during evening commute hours. Light seems to cycle green for 20 secs for 10th St, but 30 secs for less-traveled Union St. Because of lack of left-turn lane on EB 10th at Union, often only 2-3 eastbound cars get through on each cycle, resulting in backups all the way past Sunrise to Jordan Ave. Is this timing correct, or is there a problem?
Street light out at University st and Swain ave.
