Main streets in Bloomington and Normal were plowed and very passable yesterday. However, Chestnut, Allin and Mason streets did not fare the same. I left the facility at 6:00 pm last night and at that time the streets still appeared as if not plowed. In order to get from the lot to the building, staff and patients have to Cross Chestnut. This morning when I came in at 7:30 am, the road conditions were not much better. Although the road did appear to be plowed, we had little mountains to cross at driveway and sidewalk intersections. Since we are a 24 hour facility and have a pretty decent volume of patients (from pediatrics to geriatrics as well as some mobility assistance devices) and staff using this facility, we were wondering if there is a conversation to be had with the city.
This heavily used biker/walker commuter path from Morton onto the b-line gets blocked with snow everytime it's plowed, but it would be easy for the plow drivers to leave a bike/walk pathway so we don't have to carry our bikes over the snow several times a day.
There is a near constant gridlock on 10th St. near campus due to the concern for allowing students to cross the street. Perhaps an underground tunnel would help. It is a daily nightmare.
The business at 1:20 E. Miller Dr. has a snow removal crew that pushes their snow on the MCCSC sidewalk. The sidewalk had already been cleaned and is now blocked again.
From this home east, the walks usually aren't cleared. Actually, much of Azalea isn't shoveled during most snows.
This is ALWAYS uncleared and dangerous!
