Plowing update: Crews to resume plowing at 10:30 a.m., target cul-de-sacs first
Good morning, Eagle Nest neighbors.
A quick update on the plowing situation:
> Crews began about 2 a.m., focusing on clearing the main roads and the "necks" or inlets of all the cul-de-sacs to ensure emergency vehicle access. The main roads are passable but not completely plowed side to side. Crew took a break about 7 a.m.
> Plowing will resume about 10:30 a.m., focusing on finishing all the courts -- including the interior circles. They then will return to plowing the main routes gutter to gutter. Because of the amount of snowfall, crews may have to make several passes to clear the roads, so be prepared to clear the mouth of your driveway more than once.
A note to cul-de-sac residents: Please be patient. It takes time to plow your type of street. We've asked our crews to pile the snow on open lot spaces, not between driveways or near mailboxes. Please refrain from complaining about excess snow on your property; the snow has to go somewhere. We simply can't afford to hire dump trucks to cart away snow (not unless you want your dues to go up).
The Eagle Nest Board asks for your understanding as our contractors go about their work. Indianapolis is under a travel ban until at least noon, so our crews may not be as responsive as we all might like. Given current conditions, our neighborhood is no worse off than many other areas of the city. The quick, heavy snowfall and record cold temperatures made plowing extremely difficult. Further, about 25,000 city residents -- 2,400 in Northeast Indianapolis -- are without power this morning, so things definitely could be worse.
Once the neighborhood is completely cleared, the Board encourages everyone to stay safe and not venture out unless absolutely necessary. Conditions are extremely hazardous across Central Indiana, with deadly cold temperatures, drifting snow, downed power lines and impassable roads. Please use caution.
In the meantime, if you have questions, compliments or concerns about our snow removal efforts, contact Clubhouse Manager Kelly Wright or Board President Scott Thien (click the names for an email link). We appreciate feedback so we can work with our contractor to address issues, as warranted. Thank you.
