Here is the IU Center on Representative Government – where the steps to the building are completely cleared and salted, but the sidewalk for the lowly pedestrians is covered with a few inches of uneven packed snow and ice. Who is being represented? Photo taken 2026 Jan 29 – 1:03 PM
Car parked on alley. Not really blocking it, since the alley is currently impassible due to snow mass just south of Cottage Grove, but the car should not be parked there if emergency vehicles need to get by. Car is parked on N/S alley that is adjacent to eastern-most edge of parking lot in back of house. Car is dark-colored VW Jetta, NJ license plate C31-NHT.
The sidewalk on the south side of 6th Street, from Dunn to Indiana, is badly unshoveled. It is quite revealing that large parking lots for CARS are completely cleared long before the pedestrian sidewalks RIGHT NEXT TO THEM remain neglected. Photo taken 2026 Jan 29 – 1:00 PM
Snow completely blocking sidewalks. Same culprits every year: N. Washington: 800, 805, 811, 812, 820 N. Lincoln: 800, 803 E. Cottage Grove: 301
Giant snow piles which makes it impossible to walk through.
The public sidewalk was never shoveled. Photo taken 2026 Jan 29 – 2:26 PM

Sidewalk in front of house needs to be cleared of snow.
Sidewalks along W 14th St between Madison and College have not been cleared. The landlords did have their parking lots maintained but they piled the snow into tall embankments on the sidewalks and didn't touch the sidewalks at all. It's a big concern because the guests of these units routinely are parking in the street in the narrowly cleared area making it barely passable for cars while pedestrians also are trying to walk on the street.
