A trailer for a food truck has been parked on the street most of the time for the past 2-3 months. Is this legal? It's something of an obstacle when a vehicle is parked across from it.
Some thing is going on over Smith Rd. Travel is very heavy on Heritage Rd . Before, the Heritage Rd is a side street, parking is allowed, even it’s a public street not a public parking area. Now it become a Main Street, park on the side of the street really creates a very dangerous situation. Is possible city can provide a better place for those park on the street to move to? It’s much safe for the rest of the drivers.
Thanks for the reply. I am taking about the situation now. When the time I back up from my driveway to the Heritage, I looked right, left, till no car in sight. I slowly back to the street, immediately a loud squeaky brake behind me. A red car from 3rd street almost hits my car. Of course those cars can park wherever they allowed after the construction done on Smith Rd. But now it’s so dangerous! You should not wait till something terribly happened before taking actions.
I reported the driving situation on Heritage Rd. Today when I back up to Heritage Rd, the ankle of the next door car parking on the street do block the view. Only when the time I am all out I saw the car from 3 rd street, and the driver in that car be able to see me. It’s not speeding problem, it’s the blocking of view make the back up so dangerous. Citizen’s safety is more important than individuals’ convenient. Please be more concerned.
I live in 117 S.Heritage Rd. Bloomington. Thanks for the help, the blind spot cleared for 2 days. Now there’s another vehicle park at that spot. My friend passed by Heritage most of the time because the construction on Smith Rd. She felt so sorry for because Heritage Rd. Is such a mass. Actually I do enjoy how people react to that one lane place, they just patiently slow down or even stop to wait for people on the other side to pass. I really respect those people, that’s what make American so special. On the other hand, there’s one one person hold on his privilege “legal parking on the public street”, not even trying to make an small effect to make all the rest a safe street to drive. How selfish and not considerate. What a shame!
I live on S. Heritage Rd, Bloomington. My neighbor at 200 prefer to park his vehicles on the street which creates a blind angle for me to see the car turn in from 3rd street. I am not sure if people turn in from 3rd can see me back up clearly. For several times, once I back into the middle of the road, there’s a car right behind me. It’s unimaginable. What is happening? I wonder anything can be done to solve this dangerous situation?
I live at 117 S. Heritage Rd. Now think it back, what a horrible experience. According to the rules, the one back up from their driveway supposed to yell to the on going traffic. That’s why those cars right in my back. They didn’t know I can’t see them, and they feel it’s their right to go forward. Oh, my goodness, the loud breaking car really saved my live. Everyone knows there’s blind spot between two driving vehicles, now I realized there’s blind spot when vehicles legally parked on the public street. I do need thanks God to saved my life, and Hope this horrible experience will let people rethink about the legal parking rules to prevent unnecessary damages in the future.
117 S Heritage Rd again. The mystery solved. This afternoon a friend visited, I was trining to guide him out of my driveway by standing at the edge. No car in sight, I signed him come out, suddenly there’s a car approaching from back of the parking vehicle, no wonder it comes so quickly. People in the car stop behind the vehicle to yell, wait for their turn. I live in my house since 1990. The red BMW and other things never be moved for more than 10 years. It’s not park there, it’s storages there.
I live at 117 S. Heritage Rd. It happened again, I looked right and left, no cars. When I backed up into the street, there’s a car right behind me. Of course I can only see the very small conner of 3rd street, nothing behind neighbor’s car. This is very stressful for me. I have to say, Park Ridge has the best driveway in town. Can easily fit in two cars at least if it’s used for vehicles parking only. If most of the driveway used for storage and create the hazardous for other people, it’s an inconsiderable sin.
117 S. Heritage again, forgot to tell you the people park behind the vehicle sees no car from the north side, starts to move and when they came to the street, big surprise for them to see me back up that’s why I heard the loud break. So lucky I didn’t get hit or any damage. Thanks God!
