I paid for several hours on a meter and got a ticket before the time was even up! I appealed it and only got a letter saying my appeal was denied -- no reason. This is so unjust and I have no recourse but it makes me want to avoid ever visiting Bloomington again! This is fraud on your part, giving me a ticket for a meter that hadn't run out yet!
Appealing a parking ticket
Who's running this city?? The parking ticket fees are outrageous...!!! $30 is a punitive money grab, not an appropriate parking ticket. If you want the stores downtown to stop shutting down, and you want visitors from out of town to enjoy this town as a tourist destination, stop charging exhorbitant fees to park and exhorbitant parking tickets if a meter goes slightly over time.... half the storefronts on the square are empty... maybe stop being penny wise and pound foolish, milking people who live here and want to shop downtown with outrageous parking tickets. I'm going to call the mayor's office about this as well.
A pickup with temporary plates, now expired #483A445 has been alternately parked here, in front of 1203 and the corner house on adams since the temporary plates were put on about a month ago. The plates expired June 10, and the vehicle seems to be on blocks presumably preventing rolling.
The metered street parking in front of the Graduate Hotel on Lincoln Avenue is very confusing. There are meters at these spots, implying that these are public parking spots. However, the Graduate Hotel has put signs indicating these spots are reserved for their valet service. Which one is it? If these are truly public spots, please inform the Gradate Hotel. Today after parking in one of these spots, and depositing money in the meter, one of their staff members indicated that I could not park there.
Are the metered parking spots on the west side of South Lincoln, just south of Kirkwood, available for the public to use as metered spots, or are they reserved for valet parking for the Graduate Hotel?
On the signs near the parking area outside the psychology building on N Cottage Grove Ave it says that parking needs to be payed until 6pm but on a few occasions I have accidentally left the meter running past 6 and am still charged for the parking after six (one example of this happening attached). Is there any way to get a reimbursement for the times this has happened? Or at the very least stop charging people after the 6pm time
Now that students are slowly moving back in they are starting to park on this yellow curb once again at 14th and Woodburn making it difficult to see around for on coming traffic, and today I saw it made it difficult for one of the busses to make the turn on to 14th st from Woodburn. Please check into this if you can. Thanks!
On 200 S. Madison street, there is a red suv with no license plate that has been parked at the same meter spot for approximately the last month.It does appear to have parking tickets on the windshield.It’s parked at the first meter parking spot on 200 south Madison. If this goes to parking enforcement I would also like to request this area to get enforced more if possible. Thank you.
