The street at Jordan’s Way in Hyde Park is snow covered with 2-3 inches of snow. The road could use a couple passes with a plow at this point. Th ensuring streets are clear to the road. Jordan’s Way is slick and snow covered.
More than a week after the snow stopped, I encountered many terrible sidewalks today. Just a few: west side of Rogers, between Kirkwood and 4th, around Regions bank on Kirkwood and Rogers, in front of the Gables house, along the Indian restaurant at the corner of Sixth and Walnut and from the steakhouse to the trail on 6th street. Also, can you please, please require that the sidewalk be cleared to the street? Often, the sidewalks are decent, but then you have to climb over a slippery mound at the corner as you approach oncoming traffic. Definitely a hazard. Please do better. Thank you.
Followup to report 208191. I would like an explanation as to why this blacktop does not constitute a sidewalk, which is defined in municipal code Title 12 "any walkway or pedestrian corridor within the City of Bloomington's legally platted right-of-way." This seems to fit that definition. How are you making that determination?
Please see attached picture of a sidewalk that has not been cleared of snow.
North kirkwood sidewalk adjacent to The Tap is not adequately shoveled. They only shoveled 36-42”, when the minimum is 54”. I shoveled the west College sidewalk adjacent to The Tap over the weekend since they only shoveled 20” there. I don’t want to do lore free work for them. I also understand employees at other businesses shoveled the sidewalks next to Social Cantina and Smokeworks since they wouldn’t do it themselves.
From 3rd street to Highkand Park Elementary, the sidewalks have not been cleared of snow. Our students are walking in the street and/or over large mounds of snow. I am concerned fire our students safety while washing to school. I would appreciate any help in having the sidewalks cleared.
Sidewalks not shoveled and bus stop blocked in front of shamrock pointe along smith rd.
IU students are walking in the road on Woodlawn. I saw then between 1st and Maxwell. The sidewalks need cleared, including at the intersections. Also, ticket cars parking more than the maximum distance from the curb because they are obstructing traffic by sticking out in the road, making the pedestrian situation worse. (Also repeat this complaint on 1st Street, 2nd Street, etc all over town)
