Please enforce the sidewalk snow removal ordinance better, particularly downtown. Please require property owners to not only clear the sidewalk, but also the adjacent curb cuts and alleys (or the city should clear alleys at sidewalks). It’s not very helpful to have clear sidewalks, but them have to cross a slushy mess at the curb cuts or alleys. Some people make a narrow path at the curb, but those just get slushy and messy quickly, and are not wide enough for wheelchairs. Thank you.
Majority of the sidewalk along College Mall Road (in front of the mall) still has not been cleared of snow.
Sherwood oaks Christian church on Winslow Rd never cleans off the sidewalks around their property. We’re several days from the most recent ice and snowstorm and they’ve not removed any snow or ice. They own a large portion of the land in the area so this makes it very difficult to walk or bike in this area. Please address ASAP.
Snow piled against curb on the Square, intended to clear street, was about two feet wide and a foot plus high. To get from my car to sidewalk meant trying to keep my balance while taking a very big step. I wasn’t very successful.

Cross Walk on 10th Street in front of Kelley. The city and IU buses use the bus lanes in front of the library, past the crosswalk. The private apartment buses have turned the crosswalk into a bus stop. The students wait there. A bus pulls up, stops to load/unload. Pedestrians wanting to cross are blocked and back up. East-bound cars are backed up. The bus will sometimes wait if they see one of their clients coming down the sidewalk. Stops range from 15 sec to 45 seconds. Once the bus moves, the pedestrian backlog has to get across. The walkway, while necessary, is obviously a bottleneck. Having a private bus stop and block it for no reason only adds to the problem. Make the private buses (and their riders) walk up to the bus pull off lanes like everyone else. The back up on 10th street is already at a failing level. There is no reason to let private apartment transit buses make it worse.
Speeding traffic on East Morningside Drive. Can you do ANYTHING about the speeding traffic on East Morningside Drive?? The posted speed limit is 25mph! I feel like it’s going to take someone being seriously injured before anything is done about it. A lot of residents including myself have had to buy our own yard signs begging people to slow down! I feel our tax dollars should enforce this. Post an officer a few times with a radar and hand out some tickets before it’s too late for gods sake! I’m tired of it! I back my boat in the drive in the summer. I literally have people try to drive around the front of me on the sidewalk once. This is crazy. I’m guess the average speed on the street is 45-50mph. Some I’m sure top 60 mph or faster. Please do something. I live on a slight curve. It’s like taking your life in your hands pulling in. Some moron came around the other day looking at her phone going well over 50 mph I’m sure. Thought I was going to die. I’ve lived in plenty of other towns and work in a different town most everyday. It’s not like this anywhere else. Laws are enforced and people don’t have to beg for help. This is like a highway. Please, help out the Morningside residents.
