There was a pass over plow at the apartment complex. This has lead to cars being completely blocked in by packs of snow because the snow was not moved to one area. Resident received an email on Monday stating the streets would be plowed again and the sidewalks would be shoveled the next day. And only emergency vehicles were allowed to enter the complex. However, none of these things happened. Despite the staff and facilities living on premise and being at work in their offices. They essentially sent out an email stating everyone is trapped in their apartments and have not done anything since then. I understand this probably more of an apartment complex issue, but they are not listening to complaints from people. If you travel to Basswood to see the dangerous conditions, or call them, I'm sure that would be enough for them to take action.

What appears to be a sump pump discharge pipe at 801 W Howe Street is sending a significant amount of liquid water into the public right-of-way during freezing conditions. Water is being dumped onto the sidewalk on S Maple Street, between W 2nd and W Howe. This is creating a driving hazard and safety issue at the intersection of W Howe and S Maple, as the liquid water is running out into the intersection, pooling, and freezing into a sheet of ice. What doesn't freeze at this intersection is travelling down Howe to the entrance for the Building Trade Park parking lot, where it is also freezing into a sheet of ice.

The sidewalk northeast of Washington St and Smith Ave intersection hasn't been plowed. It's adjacent to Parks & Rec property, the Allison-Jukebox Community Center. They cleared by the playground but I think they forgot this is also Parks property. Thanks!

The walk around at the new convention center construction site (between College and Walnut just south of 3rd) is not being maintained. Please forward this to engineering, as they have a special responsibility towards construction detours. Thanks!

The entire north side of 3rd Street, from Washington to Lincoln is impassable. It appears that whoever cleared the FlexePark parking lot used the public sidewalk as a dumping ground for snow. The side walk is covered with at least 4 feet of snow. These people know what they're doing. The utter disregard for pedestrians is nauseating. Is the Bloomington City Code merely performative? Please give them no warning. FINE THEM.

Why does the city not enforce its rules on clearing snow from sidewalks, through fines? I understand that old people in residential areas can't always clear snow. But I'm talking about businesses. I tried to walk on the sidewalk up Walnut from Hillside to 2nd street today on the east side of the street (1/27), it was not possible. There are a ton of businesses here who do not follow the rules, and it's a huge hazard because now we have to walk on the street itself, which is crazy busy. I mean you, Elkins Properties, I mean you, auto dealership, I mean you, Btown Smoketime, and even the post office! Why are these people not fined? The are businesses, cleaning the sidewalk it a part of doing business, they should be held accountable. Thank you for your attention

The entire sidewalk in front of the "Cityside by Alexa" apartments is completely unshoveled, as of late this afternoon. That is the north side of 3rd Street and the west side of Washington Street.

Sidewalk on the south side of 3rd street between College Ave and the B-line is still covered in snow. It's adjacent to the convention center, 302 S College Ave. The photo shows where pedestrians have already been walking in the deep snow. The landowner needs to be fined for chronic non-compliance. In past years, the only way this sidewalk has been cleared is when City Council members brought it up in public, but ensuring compliance is actually the job of staff, not electeds. Chronic non-compliance requires dogged enforcement!! Thanks!
