I would like to express some disappointment in the overall process for the Kirkwood closures. I made the mistake of watching 2/4's city council meeting and was surprised at the level of outrage that some individuals had due to the city recognizing that what exists currently is insufficient and a drain of city resources. I can certainly appreciate why businesses on/right around Kirkwood would want to give their business an essentially free boost of revenue but missing from this equation is how it impacts non-Kirkwood businesses. It seems all is framed to help these bars and restaurants out but it seems if you go down there when the Kirkwood is open that they're already doing just fine. Further, the city did mention that there is approximately $80k in lost revenue, plus the staff drain...if we do end up closing it, maybe we should consider permit fees high enough to recoup these costs instead of giving them this PUBLIC space for the current nominal amount. Mostly I just want to state that while I look forward to a thoughtful Kirkwood redesign in the future that does expand options for businesses, residents, and visitors alike, Bloomington is much, much, much more than Kirkwood! I would love to see us start celebrating and investing into those areas with the same energy that we put into Kirkwood- even if they don't have the KCA behind them!!
Thick layer of ice covering entire sidewalk and alley right next to Spudshack. Very hazardous for a serious fall risk as this is a commonly used sidewalk and right next to concrete steps. Appears to be no salt or sand being used. Unsure why ice is so bad in this area from the alley.
Ice on the sidewalk
Trash can has been on the curb for 2-1/2 weeks.
Pedestrian bridge is untreated and hazardous
More than 1 week since the end of snowfall and this sidewalk is not shoveled.
It is well over a week since the last snow fall and the sidewalk is not shoveled. It may be that the new owner does not know they are responsible for clearing the sidewalk.
The public sidewalks along Parkview Apartments have improved, but most of the sidewalk is still covered with packed snow and ice. Two-thirds of the way along Walnut is now clear, but the "ice rink" at the northern end is still treacherous. The way along 19th has not been touched, even right in front of the Parkview entrance. It is unclear whether the entire sidewalk on 19th Street, all the way to Washington Street, is the responsibility of the same property owner. These photos were taken at 1:43 PM on February 4, 2026 – 11 days after the end of the last snowstorm.
