All the parking meters on the west side of Madison are completely defaced - they have black ink covering the display so that you cannot tell if/how much you have paid, and the green tag saying what zone for the mobile app has been ripped off. Is it ok to park there? Will you get a ticket even if you can't use the meter correctly?
Downtown tonight, attempted to use parkmobile app to pay for parking and meter did not have a park mobile sticker so that I could choose the location. The space next to the improperly labeled meter was 7664. This happened in a different location on the square 2 nights ago. You need to replace parkmobile stickers as the meters are painted or changed. Your parking enforcement staff are on the streets every day, there is no excuse for these not being maintained properly.
I parked at a parking meter on 6th street at the north end of the justice building just after 1:00 p.m. today, 5/22/18. I did not have any coins so I attempted to pay with my debit card. I inserted my debit card three separate times and was never able to use it to pay; the screen giving me option to increase time never appeared and instead I was only getting the screen showing rates. My maroon Suzuki Vitara is still parked in this spot. I wanted to send this message to report a non-functional meter and to cover myself in the event I find a ticket on my car later today when I leave the justice building.
One of the meters has its cover not fully latched. It has a label on it reading 7THW303-B - it's parking zone 76136.
The parking meters do not allow you to pay before they turn on. I had a meeting in the morning, and I did not want to be late just to pay the meter. The meters should allow you to pre-pay in the time before they turn on. Otherwise, people who have meetings will have to either be late to their meeting or face a parking ticket as I did. This system is ridiculous! Coins were better! You could at least pay the meter at any time with coins!
The ‘no parking’ zones were recently repainted for street parking off 8th and Indiana. It seems that the no parking designated zone was extended 3-5 feet. Was there a reason for this? Now, there is even more limited street parking, and it’s going to be a warzone when the rest of the students move in come August.
There is a vehicle that parks on the sidewalk at this location almost daily, preventing bike and foot traffic from utilizing the sidewalk.
This handicap meter is blocked by a bike rack that makes it difficult to pay the meter.
I received a notice in the mail of an overdue parking citation. It had been issued on 6/20/24 and the notice said that I had failed to pay it within 14 days, so the fine was now doubled. However, I never saw the parking ticket on my car, and I never received any other notice that I had received a ticket. I do not think that this is a fair system, as parking tickets left on cars can be tampered with by other people. I have paid this parking ticket, but I'd like you to look into this policy and consider changing it so that there is some way to ensure that the person receiving a ticket actually sees it in time to pay it before it is doubled.

This parking meter took 2 quarters in an attempt to pay for parking between Kirkwood and 6th on the east side of Walnut. The meter never registered any time after both quarters were inserted. Do these meters accept cash or just credit cards or parking apps that charge an extra fee?
