I spend multiple hours over multiple days clearing the piles of snow that were plowed into my driveway by the City plows in my cul de sac. Yesterday, I had cleared it all. Then, a plow came and blocked half of my driveway again while also fully covering my mailbox as to be completely inaccessible. The end of my street would have been in better condition if it had never been plowed. If the drivers are unwilling or unable to move the snow into the areas between houses, then why bother doing it at all? I'm only requesting some common sense here. I appreciate the road crews, but if the turning radius is too tight for the plow to even function, then maybe only plow the straightaways.
So you're doubling the width of the sidewalk from 5ft to 10ft for a recreational path. Great. But does that mean you've also doubled the amount of sidewalk I'm now responsible to clear of snow in the winter? Should I be dumping tea into Lake Monroe?
Last night a snow truck backed into our mailbox and knocked it down. Please ask them & respond asap. Thx. Carrie. 812-329-8415
Sidewalk not cleared of snow.
As of 11am on Saturday, February 17 it appears all surrounding neighborhoods have been plowed and salted but no roads in Hoosier Acres have been salted or plowed.
Deborah Drive and Schmalz Blvd in front of World Wide Automotive is very slick today. Sanding would be greatly appreciated!
Hi, this is not a big deal today, but you have always salted the street at least to the bottom of the hill. I realize it's a dead end street, but they stopped just before the hill last night. I hope they will go a little further next time so it will be easier to get up the hill if the road gets really bad. Thanks for all you do!
Just a reminder that the Winslow Farm neighborhood has several traffic islands (circles) that are city streets. There has been some confusion in the past about whether the snow plows show clean the roads around those islands. Our house is located on one of them, but there are several other circles in Winslow Farm.
Patterson Drive, especially at the Intersection with W Third Street/Isaac Drive, is covered with snow and there is zero visibility of the road lines or even where curbs are. I have watched cars slide due to lack of salt on the roads and I have watched cars run over curbs and unintentionally drive on the sidewalk because you can’t see where the road is especially at night. My car shown in the image was parked along Patterson (public Bloomington parking zone, not private lot) before the snow came, so that can be used as a reference for where the road is. If snow will continue to heavily fall, making plowing difficult, could reflective traffic cones be placed to outline where the curbs are for drivers to see even when snow is covering the roads? This intersection proves to be a relatively common spot for accidents even in daylight during the Summer, so I am especially worried for the winter months. The driving path to get from the intersection into the gas station also is in poor condition, but that may be private property (meaning, it is the responsibility of the gas station to clear the snow). Thank you :)
