Local conditions
A few things about Bloomington specifically inform how service is scheduled.
Bloomington, twinned with Normal in McLean County, sits at the crossroads of I-39, I-55 and I-74 in central Illinois, giving the city outsized importance for regional winter road-clearing even though its own snowfall (roughly 20 inches a year) is moderate compared to the Chicago area and northern Illinois. Six local historic districts, including Franklin Square and White Place, add older, narrower streets to the city's plow routes.
We regularly service routes near I-39, I-55, I-74, US 51, US 150, SR 9.
Response time
Response within 1 hour during a storm. Response times in Bloomington are the same for a 2 a.m. storm as a 2 p.m. one; dispatch doesn't wait for daylight.
