Hello, I am a resident and student who parks downtown on a daily basis Mon-Fri. I pay to park through Parkmobile, yet since January of this year I have received 4 parking citations for an "expired meter." The cause of the issue is that my [personalized] plate contains the letter "O", and parking enforcement officers continuously check for my plate using the number "0" without taking the time to ensure that it is spelled correctly. After the third occasion, I received a very nice note from the clerk's office stating that the city's parking enforcement officers would all be notified of this type of error, and that I should not have anything to worry about in the future. Despite this, Officer 333pm issued me my fourth wrongful citation yesterday. This specific officer has in total issued me 3 citations, 2 before the department-wide notice and 1 afterwards. I am greatly concerned about the quality of this officer's job performance. An individual who maintains the authority to issue citations and fines ought to observe this position with responsibility, and it has become increasingly clear to me that this officer does not respect their own position nor those who park downtown. I should not have to display a note in my vehicle's dashboard instructing officers on how to spell my license plate, nor especially should I worry every day that I will have another citation to appeal. This is negligence at best on behalf of Officer 333pm and does not reflect well upon the city's parking enforcement department. I write this report practically in desperation, as I am unsure of what other action can be taken to prevent more wrongfully-issued citations that waste Bloomington's time, effort, and money.

After I scanned the QR code on the meter, the app asked for credit card info, which I supplied. It wasn't until it was too late that I realized I had been redirected to an unlrelated app, fraavy.com, an entertainment app which will automatically charge your credit card $49.95 after 5 days. This is a scam and needs to be corrected and users of the QR code warned!

I Parked yesterday at yorgz packing garage on North Walnut Street Sunday 08/27/2023. This is considered a free parking day I believe. The system charged my debt card twice before being let out. Please may the person concerned address this issue. Thanks David

I received this parking violation ticket at 11 on October 11th and I wanted to appeal it. I was at work (at Starbucks off of Indiana Ave) while I received this ticket. I had the parking pass from Starbucks in my car and received a ticket. I have parked in this spot before while having the parking pass visible and not received a ticket. There were other cars on the street not aligned with the parking meters so I believe it was a mix up because I was aligned with the meter while I had the valid pass.

Hello I used a downtown metered parking space on January 9th and have since been charged two additional times to that card. One of those times I was out of state at the time of charge and the other time is today which I haven’t used metered parking. This is very frustrating and seems like an error in your system. Can you please refund me and remove my card from your system? Thank you

When using Butler Park for youth baseball, please remind parents that parking on 9th street is one directional (cars pointing east) and that they cannot park beyond the no parking signage. Doing so occludes the view of the intersection and creates a dangerous traffic scenario. We have lots of foot and bike traffic at 9th and Williams. Had several parents try to skirt the rule this morning and get rather quippy when asked to move their vehicle. We welcome youth baseball on the Near West Side, just ask that parents adhere to the posted signs as to not create a dangerous situation for motorists, pedestrians, or bicyclists. Plenty of parking at the community garden just half a block from the ball field. :)
