Sidewalk Snow Removal
810 W 4th ST
- Case Date:
- 1/30/2026
West crosswalk on 3Rd st (where Madison crosses) is covered in snow. Snow berms blocking where the sidewalk meets the crosswalk. Crosswalks are always a pain point when it snows. Is it the city's responsibility or business'/residents' responsibility to clear adjacent sidewalk intersections? I spent a few hours clearing crosswalks downtown yesterday and I am too exhausted to do this one today.
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
Sidewalk along tenth from the bypass to the train underpass not shoveled
The sidewalk in front of rental property was never shoveled. Photo taken 2026 Jan 29 – 9:33 AM
On east third st. many sidewalks between smith and 446 have not been cleared
Snow completely blocking sidewalks. Same culprits every year: N. Washington: 800, 805, 811, 812, 820 N. Lincoln: 800, 803 E. Cottage Grove: 301
The multiuse path on Sare Rd has not been cleared yet.
Please see the attached photo for a look at the sidewalk at Kappa Kappa Gamma (or whichever Sorority is currently residing at that property). Part of the sidewalk has been cleared, but a section on Hawthorne is covered with a huge pile of snow so a pedestrian has no choice but to walk into the street to get around it. Unfortunately the sidewalk on other side of the street also hasn't been cleared, so that isn't an option. That belongs to IU so I have contacted them about that. Thank you!
Church hasn't shoveled their sidewalk. Students are walking on the street.
