Please reach out to planning@bloomington.in.gov and engineering@bloomington.in.gov to discuss further. Staff are not aware of a situation in which the City would provide and place additional gravel or railroad ties in an area for additional parking that may possibly be non-compliant.

Based on satellite/aerial imagery, this appears to be possibly lawful non-conforming gravel placed in this right-of-way location that has been deteriorating and being utilized for on-street parking. This would require coordination from the Engineering Department regarding any work occurring in the right-of-way (which requires a permit), possibly the Parking Services or Street Department to verify that this area allows on-street parking, and further coordination with us (Planning & Transportation Department) to verify if this use can continue or if the gravel is even compliant with driveway standards based on the widths and impervious surface coverage on the lot.
