Snow plowing update as of 10 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 25

We want to thank residents for their patience and understanding during today's snowstorm and our subsequent plowing efforts.

Indianapolis officially received 8.6 inches of snow, breaking the previous Jan. 25 record of 4.9 inches set in 1978. (Over the past two days, the city received 10.6 inches, the most since 10.2 inches fell on March 24, 2018.) That much continuous snow made it impossible to complete the neighborhood in one job.

For those who may be new or need a refresher, the initial goal in any big storm is to make Eagle Nest passable, then follow up with touchups. By the end of the day, we were in better shape than many area developments. But we know we have more work to do. 

Problem areas remain

Among the priorities: Several cul-de-sacs need further addressing; deep snow ruts need to be removed from intersections; and plows need to get closer to curbs throughout the development. We have reached out to our contractor and expect these issues will be resolved throughout the day Monday.

Unfortunately, we don't have a timeline to share because we aren't our contractor's only client. We do know that we'll get plowed weeks before the city even dispatches a plow to our neighborhood, if at all.

Vehicles hamper plowing

In order for our contractor to do his job efficiently and safety, all vehicles need to be removed from the roadway. We understand that may be an inconvenience, especially with snow-covered driveways, but the safety of our residents is of greater concern. We don't want anyone injured because they slid or drove into a snow-covered, plowed-in vehicle.

The Board kindly asks owners of the following vehicles to move them immediately:

• 7800 block of Teel Way (two vehicles parked on Teel Way and two vehicles parked on Tanager Lane near the Teel-Tanager stop sign)
• 7700 block of White Dove Drive (one vehicle near intersection)
• 8200 block of Tern Court (one vehicle)
• 8100 block of Tanager Court (one vehicle)
• 8300 block of Quail Court (two vehicles)

For the rest of neighborhood, thank you for being good neighbors and helping keep our streets clear and safe. If you know someone with a vehicle in the mentioned areas, please reach out to them and ask them to move their vehicles -- for the sake of everyone in our development.

Need help?

If you need your driveway partially or completely cleared, call Eagle Nest resident Michael Spicklemire at 317-691-3603. He has a hungry snowblower and is clearing driveways (or just the mouths and mailbox areas) on a first-come, first-served basis ($40-$60).
