Street Snow Removal

I came over to my elderly mother house to remove snow, around noon today. The roads had already been plowed at this time. I shoveled her walk and the sidewalk in front of her home, like a responsible member of the community. All homeowners are required by law, if they are shared with a public sidewalk we have to maintain said sidewalk. I came back to over to her house a few hours later to discover a plow came to plow the gutter area. Mind you the road has already been plowed, so by plowing the small insignificant portion of the road, the driver essentially cover the sidewalk with a icy mix of snow and slush. Now, I have to remove the snow yet again because it’s even more of a hazard now. Since chunks of ice are scattered along the sidewalk. Honestly, that driver should clean the sidewalk or someone from the the city, because this is unacceptable, it created a hazard and for what? To plow the gutters!? Response is needed.

This is the second year that I have noticed this issue, the roads at Atlas on 17th apartment complex are poorly plowed and not salted. Last year, a car slid and hit my parked car, today someone crashed into a pole, and I have consistently seen people sliding around the curve and up the hill. I called the apartment complex and they said it is a city issue because it is a city street. The other streets in Bloomington are perfectly plowed and salted but here there always seem to be plow and salt problems.

I strongly second this Ureport: #207017 " .. Bricks are slipperier than concrete when wet ". This is a well known problem, along with brick walks being more expensive to maintain, and prone to problems. If this news report is correct, https://bsquarebulletin.com/brick-fix-okd-for-kirkwood-avenue-at-491k-cost/, Adam Wason says city is now not planning to replace slippery, unsafe brick sidewalk because "it looks iconic". Please reconsider this opinion, that looks triumph over safety. I do not have walking problems, but I have often slipped on the brick sidewalks in nearby IU area that are often wet, slick, iced and uneven when concrete walks are fine.

The alley running east to west has been closed since 11.05.2025 due to a small asphalt repair. I am unsure why it is still closed eight days later. It is disrupting the flow of traffic through the neighborhood.

I live across from Rosehill and walked into town today. Many of my neighbors had not yet shoveled their walks, making me walk in the street, which is never a great idea. The worse address was 516 W 3rd, but there were many bad sports between my house and downtown (and some bad spots downtown). It’s been more than 24 hours since the snow stopped. Please remind people about the snow removal ordinance, and please do a much better job of enforcing it. Thank you.

The area around the intersection of E 20th and N Washington St is a sheet of thick ice. I run a trash company here in town, and we are having issues servicing customers due to this issue.

The construction site flood lights are left on all night, pointed into the houses. It is causing it to look like daytime at night time. Is there anything that can be done about it? No one is present working on the site until 6 am, but these lights are blinding.
