This parking meter located at the library would not read my credit card(s). I tried the two I have multiple times. No I tried fast pull, slow pull, leaving it in. Wiping the card off. Etc Please make note and don't ticket me. Dawn Herr
Parking Meters Issues: Over the past few months I have tried to park in street parking only to find that the meters state: Charge Card Only. Of course, you don't know this until you are trying to deposit money in the meter. So, I guess the choice is to pay the fee using a card and also get stuck with the additional service fee or move to another meter. Why are there so many meter using just charge cards? and, why not designate the meters so that I don't have to bother stopping. This I my second request for an answer. I have also called and never received a call back.
A large percentage of parking meters around the Main Branch of Monroe County Public Library are not working. They either will not accept a debit or credit card (i.e. cannot read the cards) or have a black screen so that a user is unable to read in the steps needed in order to pay for parking. The meters in question are on Lincoln between Kirkwood and 6th, 6th between Lincoln and Grant, and Grant between 6th and Kirkwood. I have not tried parking on Kirkwood so I don't know if there's any issue with those meters. Every time I attempt to park in this area, I must try at least three times before I am able to find a working meter.
Hi! I’m a bit confused about this charge on my account and am not completely sure who to contact. I paid the meter for one hour to get hartzels ice cream (as seen on the charges) but I never paid for $8 (or 8 hours). This is clearly an incorrect charge because I got ice cream at 6 PM and the meters end at 9 therefore I am even unable to add that much money to a meter. If I could please get a refund for the $8 charge I would really appreciate it since i didn’t even use it!

I’m writing following up on case numbers 168560 and 168559. The answer to your question is no. I paid for 30 minutes but was credited for 15 minutes. I left before the 15 minutes expired. It was not worth the risk of a ticket. Would the city forgive a ticket if I told them I paid for the time but wasn’t credited for it or would they say sorry for your bad luck? There needs to be a number to call for people to report these issues immediately when they happen and have the time added remotely without having to go through all of this. David Willian
We visited Bloomington on Wed., June 12, and put 4 quarters in the parking meter Zone 7690 meter GRAS206B and got no minutes. Not very happy about that and will make our next visit to Bloomington a long time coming.
Regarding 168571. Thanks for taking care of this. Having a phone number listed on the meter that is immediately answered will make this a non issue. Thanks again, David Willian
