Proposed changes to sidewalk snow removal

To improve winter walking conditions and better align with other City snow removal operations, the City of Bloomington has hosted conversations about adjustments to its sidewalk snowplowing routes. Public engagement on proposed changes began in March via the Let’s Talk Bloomington, virtual open houses and in person events including the Indoor Farmers Market.

To achieve completion times comparable to street plowing, certain sidewalk plowing routes on low-volume residential roads would be shortened and the existing ordinance requiring property owners to clear adjacent sidewalks would be enforced.

Residents are invited to review the proposed route map and submit feedback on Let’s Talk Bloomington at blm.mn/sidewalk-snow. The City Council will decide on a proposed route reduction in July. Questions? Call 952-563-8765.
