Car parked backward and in two parking spots. Silver Pontiac.
This is in reference to uReport Case #161251. I was told to pick up my refund at the Morton St garage office. I've been there 3 or 4 times so far, and no one is ever in the office. Can my refund be mailed to me, or is there a better place to get it. Thanks.
Meter display is illegible - can't tell when time will expire. zone 7682, COLS 106-A
Parking meter # WALS406-A has what looks like 2 coins jammed into the coin slot. Meter will only take cards.
I put at least $3.50 in the meter, which is $1.00/hr. The coins did not register properly. I only received 2 hours of parking. The meter is #6THE504A--second or third space east of Dunn on 6th St. I don't care so much about the extra money, but I do care that the situation is fixed.
On 4th Street slightly West of Dunn on the North side of the Street a meter is broken. Put two quarters in and nothing happened.
at 9:45 a.m. 4/29 I tried to use the parking meter app, which i have used many times) on 76118 (i was at "b"). the app said no such parking place. i tried three times making sure i was getting the number right. could have been a system-wide failure rather than this meter. however, while I'm at it, i resorted to analog quarter method. I put two in a glanced down to see I only had 15 min. I put some more in and they registered properly. might want to have someone put a bunch of quarters in to see if this was just a fluke or a problem with this meter. p.s. i actually like the meter system. previously there just was no option to park on the street downtown as all slot always full. now one at least has that option. i think with the free hours in the garages/lot and their proximity, most of the time that should work for most people.
There is an abandoned car at the intersection of W 4th St and Maple. It is a red 4-door Volkswagen with a rack on top and out of state plates. It has at least 1 flat tire and has been there for at least 3 weeks. Thank you!

Driving home on I-69, I foolishly decided to stop in Bloomington for s bite to eat. I parked on Kirkwood where another car was parked. I parked at a meter that was not posted "No Parking". I went into a pizza place, ordered, and came back to my car withing 5 mins. I was sitting in the car when a policeman approached. He was very rude, informing me it was a No Parking Zone. It appears I did not see the sign, as it was on the ground, and I should have been looking on the ground before parking. I made it very clear that I was just there for a moment, but still got a ticket. A ticket that had to be paid within a week or it doubled. That's quite a racket you have going there. I learned a very valuable lesson though. Bloomington is not a welcoming town for visitors who don't know the rules. I will not be stopping in Bloomington on any future trips on I-69.
