Plowing update: Crews in neighborhood now, work expected to be done today

Please remove vehicles from roadways before snowfalls.

As of 4 p.m., our snow plowing contractor resumed work. Crews started by the 75th Street entrance and are working their way in, attacking the cul-de-sacs first, then cleaning up the main thoroughfares.

So far, Osprey, Tern and Hummingbird have been done, as well as Goldfinch and Sandpiper near the 82nd Street entrance. Lots of work remains  on Dove, Quail, Mockingbird, Heron and Tanager, however.

White Dove needs a lot of work, too, and the contractor is aware of that.

The expectation is that the work will be completed today, hopefully by 8-9 p.m. In the meantime, the Eagle Nest Board appreciates your patience and understanding.

This DPW truck was stuck near 75th and Hague Road today.

The extreme conditions haven't been easy for our crews. The massive amount of snow and dangerous temperatures delayed work, and then Indianapolis issued a travel ban. Adding to the difficulties, some residents failed to remove their vehicles from the roadway, while others used snow blowers to direct snow into already clear streets.

I can tell you firsthand that many surrounding neighborhoods are in the same boat we are. Simply put: It's bad out there. As you might imagine, we've had a several calls today from concerned residents wanting to know when their area would be cleared, and the answer was and remains the same: Today, but please be patient.

Thanks.
