In Their Own Words: How could the UI better prepare for the weather?

“I mean, I’ve never had a problem on university property, but the city streets are absolutely terrible. They’re all icy, and slushed over, and miserable, and need to be salted.”

“I think that the university could do a better job at shoveling the snow, and it would be really easy to do so. They should salt and shovel the sidewalks more often than they do now, because I’ve seen countless students falling and slipping on the unshoveled sidewalks.”

“The university does a good job of keeping the streets on campus maintained. However, with the city, the roads are icy and they could change a lot more. They should at least salt the roads and somewhat clear them.”

“I think there are certain areas, especially on the West Side like the hospital, behind Petersen, that they don’t clear. They need to clear those spots faster, because students still go there even though they are out of the way.”

“It’s inconvenient for students to get around campus and especially for those students with disabilities. I notice that those are the times they clear it up a lot later when it does snow than they do on weekdays and they need to be quicker about clearing things up overall.”
