I'm an IU senior who lives on 217 S Lincoln in town. My apartment doesn't have parking for all of its tenants this year, all nearby garage lots are full, and monthly parking lots are being rented out by the local churches and businesses. I have tried for weeks to find a parking spot even remotely close to my apartment and hoped that The City would be able to issue me a Zone 9 permit since that is the closest zone to my apartment (within blocks). Today I was turned away and told "you either live in the zone or you don't, so there are no other options." I am incredibly appalled that The City has no means to help and is not willing to accept the money of a county citizen who is in a desperate situation to find parking. The City doesn't have to care about my specific situation or plight, but it should care about the well-being and security of the masses. I know I am not the only person in my neighborhood who is having such an issue. Parking should be an essential living item--like food, water, and shelter. Adequate and nearby parking is quite often a NECESSITY in order for people to get to work, to keep their jobs, to earn an income, to visit their families, to maintain a routine. It is senseless, unorganized, and uncivil for The City to claim to put such an emphasis on city parking yet not provide a zone for all areas of town NOR allow a resident to receive a permit for the closest zone to their residence. Come on, Bloomington, who are you helping if you're not out to help everyone?

I pay $67 a month to park in the Morton St. garage. For the past week and a half almost, the gates to the garage have always been open. Anyone can come and go as they please. What exactly am I paying for if it has been open this long?

Hello, I currently have a parking permit through my job at the Garage on 7th Street and Walnut. I've noticed that the garage hasn't been charging users for about 2 months now. I am wondering when you are going to install the gates at the exit and start charing people again? It is a bit frustrating to pay for a permit and have to park on the roof when you know many are parking for free there. From a financial perspective I may not renew my permit if I can just park there for free. I saw an article in the HT this morning about changes to parking enforcement but the garage on 7th and Walnut was not mentioned in it. When will you start charging to park at the garage on 7th Street and walnut again? Will there be change in parking regulations at the garage? Thank you for your time and information. -Amber Mestre

Your system is flawed. I’m entirely convinced no one reads the parking ticket appeals because you just want to abuse the college students and you love to abuse your power

This landlord must have put up a sign for at least 5 private parking spots. I thought private parking would have a price. Brenda Lane

Hi there, I have a question regarding parking options. I am having a roughly fifty-person wedding ceremony/reception on the square on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend (9/1/2019), and many guests are coming from out of town for the low-key evening celebration. I am having a hard time working out parking. I realize street parking will be free that day, but in case it's crowded downtown for the holiday weekend, ideally I'd like for guests to be able to use the Morton parking garage and walk over. But I also don't want them to have to pay for parking themselves. In lieu of my giving each guest cash as they leave to pay for parking, is there any way I can, for example, pay for one-day permits for them ahead of time? I realize this is nonstandard, but I would so appreciate any tips or recommendations you may have. Thank you for your help! Rita
