I inserted my card and the meter only issues one hour increments. I am downtown for a meeting and I need more time uninterrupted. In front of Buskirk-Chumley.

A vehicle has been incorrectly parked in a handicap spot for days. There is no indication that the vehicle is in need of a handicap spot, and has not move for some time. This is taking away access to other residents.
Just tried to feed this meter. My money is stuck in the slot but wouldn't fall into the meter so I got no time on the meter. I am parked there now. White Prius. License number is IU plate "LOCAL"
Customer reported that parking meter 5THE108-B was not accepting more than 1 hour of payment as of appr. 4pm on 8/24 - i.e. "up arrow" did not work.
This morning, a bus was dropping off children at the Buskirk-Chumley for a student matinee. The bus swung out too hard and ended up hitting and denting the parking meter on Kirkwood closest to the corner of Kirkwood and Washington on the block that has the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.
I paid a fine. I was just recently put on massive prednisone because of allergies and high doses cause cognitive issues. Hence I forgot to pay the meter. The prednisone is to keep me from strangling to death. I’ll make sure to stay away from downtown and all businesses from now on. Amazon is the safer option for people with disabilities.
I visited downtown Bloomington today and it was my understanding there was free parking at the meters for small business Saturday. The meters were flashing red and was confused if I needed to pay. Screen said nothing about free parking. Just wanted to let someone in the city to be aware.
I was recently connected with someone about this issue but I was not sure how to respond back so I’m submitting another issue. They had asked for the ticket number which is 23204404442. I was not aware of that since I have parked in the city spot before with the pass and did not receive a ticket so I thought it was valid.
Quite a few nonemployees have been parking in the designated Morton spots if someone can check on those now that more are back at City Hall. Thx.
