closed: Resolved #178266

Parking Meters and Citations:

Other: I am from out of state and am here to visit the Indiana University campus with my son. I was unaware of the predatory practices with regards to parking in the Taco Bell parking lot near the La Una Cantina. The gentleman told me a sign was posted, but if the idea that is a tiny sign with a tiny warning says NO parking is justified, then you need to visit Memphis or Nashville where the signs are in LARGE print and can be visibly seen before pulling in. I am filing this complaint and will file for predatory practices as I have video of the towing company circling the parking lot like vultures. It may be part of your city code, but the South does signs and warnings better.

Ms. Flowers, the Taco Bell parking lot is a private lot, and the City does not enforce it, nor manage the lot signs. The owners of Taco Bell tow from the lot if the person is not inside Taco Bell eating. This practice is legal.
