Starting on August 20th, I begin a lease living at 517 E 14th St. Bloomington, IN 47408. I applied for a neighborhood parking pass and was denied because my address is not qualified to receive a permit. I called and they said this is because I live in an apartment complex that offers parking to it's tenants. This isn't true however, because we are only given parking for 2 out of our 5 residents. I've spoken to our leasing company and they suggested I reach out because we should be allowed to obtain permits sense we live in the zone and don't have parking. Please reach out to me as soon as possible for what we can do.

I submitted my information for my zone 1 Greek life parking permit and received it. However whoever wrote my license plate number on the pass used a wrong letter, making the pass not match my actual license plate. Is this something that needs to be fixed, or is it okay to leave as is? Please respond as soon as possible.

Hi, we have been ticketed twice for parking in front of our home. However, we've only been doing this to prevent the neighbors from parking in front of our house. They don't have the proper permit zone, and it's disruptive to have strangers parking at our house every day. They never get ticketed because they park after 5pm. Is there any way to resolve this issue? Thank you.

Please consider making one side of Palmer "no parking," similar to the way there is only parking on one side of Dunn St between Hillside and Grimes. The street is very narrow and does not have a good shoulder, and there simply is not enough room to have cars parked on both sides of the street and for traffic to go through safely.

Pothole I noticed while driving south from third street near the intersection of Smith and Rogers. It was hard to tell the size, but I would guess approximately 2ft wide and 3 in deep.

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?

I was paying to have a pass at the parking garage above Scottys and had to move away from work. I had a charge I did not recognize on my account and had Chase look into it, it was the parking pass. 3-4 months before I left my pass stopped working, I called and they said the payment terms changed and that my account was deactivated. Is there a way to get the charges to stop, my only other option with chase is to cancel the card. I would appreciate any help you can offer!

There have been an unreasonable amount of cars without permits during the week that park all around my house, which is near 8th and park ave, and there have been numerous occasions where I cannot even find a place to park at all. But then I'll go down the street and look and I notice, 2/3 of the cars don't have permits. I realize I live near campus buildings which draws people to want to park close to classes, but I believe that if tickets start being given, especially for repeat offenders, then this issue will be solved. Thanks for your time, Travis Johnson.
