Hello! I know the men in the trucks are working their tails off. I do wonder why even when extreme snow is predicted our city folks in charge of planning truly fail Bloomington. I’ve lived here for many years after coming from Michigan and every year the city becomes a joke about their handling of the snow but as we come to this storm I wanted to formally request more information on logistics and planning. I have many a times tried to understand what part and who within the city’s scope this is via this tool or emailing directly but unfortunately I never receive actual responses to my questions, but sometimes I see the action taken so I know my questions were read. I would prefer this request not go through Adam Wason since I do believe he is the one ignoring my contacts or brushing me off which as someone who was a coworker and friend of his feels even worse. Is there another party in the city to speak to about this to ensure things are getting taken care of? Thank you for your time.
Was just wanting to see if it’s possible to get a snow plow to go down Hunter and also Ballantine. They are both kind of hard to navigate with the snow piles. Thanks so much!
The light for the left turn lane coming up off of I 69 onto 2nd Street from northbound 69 is not engaging. I sat at the light for 10 minutes as well as several other vehicles to the point where we were going on red lights when the traffic was clear enough for us to go.
Incomplete snow removal creates extremely dangerous driving and pedestrian conditions. Currently only room for one vehicle to pass...yet a light for both directions simultaneously. Near miss yesterday.
Snow removal was largely unsuccessful. Road is dangerous as this is a two way street and only one direction of travel is open at a time. Full street should be plowed
The snow removal truck pushed the snow off the street/Cul de Sac up beside our mailbox, blocking it from access by the USPS carrier. The snow bank is head high and packed tightly. I am 89 years old and cannot shovel it away and others to hire can’t either. The plow truck driver is not getting the job done correctly. This is not the first time this has happened but this time it will be a long time before it melts.
The street is not being plowed yet the residents are paying taxes for street maintenance. Cars a getting stuck. Regardless of any ongoing issues with the builder, public safety is the responsibility of the city and the street must be maintained.
IU PUBLIC SAFETY has not cleared their sidewalk of snow. It is now Wednesday January 28th, three full days after the snow stopped falling. IU has PLENTY of institutional resources to clear snow -- yet pedestrians are forced to walk in the roadway. I asked an employee to clear the snow from the public sidewalk, and he said, rudely, "not me!" A ticket needs to be issued, ASAP.
A woman (probably IU student) had to walk on College Mall Rd. on the east-side from Buick Cadillac Blvd to the bus stop beside the Old National Bank. It was very dangerous for her, I was in a car driving towards her and slowed down 'till she got to the bus stop and could stand on the curb. Because of the snow plowing College Mall is narrower than usual. Could the City or Old National Bank remove the snow from the sidewalk at a minimum from the intersection at Buick Cadillac to the bus stop?
