I am writing to urge you to extend the amount of time between the issuance of a parking ticket and the date on which the price of that ticket doubles. I realize I am lucky to have a secure job associated with a decent wage that allows me to occasionally absorb the cost of a parking ticket, for those rare times when I accidentally exceed my expected amount of time downtown. However, it was not so long ago, when I was a graduate student, that I truly lived paycheck-to-paycheck, and had a lot of difficulty making it through the second half of the month. A $20 parking ticket which doubles in price within 10 days would have been a very difficult expense to manage. And it should be recognized that even those of us who diligently pay our meters occasionally run into difficulties that cause us to run over. At the same time, we often overpay for the meter ($$ for which we are never reimbursed). In any event, a parking ticket that doubles in price within 10 days puts an undue burden on those residents of Bloomington who are in a challenging financial situation. I suggest you extend the remission time to 30 days to allow your city's residents to better manage their household budgets. Regards, Dr. Kim Novick 904 E 14th Street Bloomington, IN 47408

went downtown to shop for the holidays. Was late to the meter by 5 minutes. got a $20 ticket. Goodbye downtown. Hello amazon. Cheaper, easier, and they don't give these outrageous fines. Thought you might want to know. I am sending a letter to the Book Corner, and another to Goods for Cooks, to let them know they will never see me again. Not a great idea on your part, if you asked me. For the sake of downtown and these businesses, I hope I am wrong. But I doubt it.

Citation # Q1500545: I put my credit card into the wrong meter (chose the one facing my parking slot) & didn't realize I had to use Meter/Space Number 102B (because it was facing the other way). When I came out of Samira Restaurant, I still had 16' of unexpired time (in the "wrong" meter). I hope you will understand that I actually did pay for my parking space. Thank you

Hi, I am a student at IU who is trying not to clutter the town with another parked car. My partner and I often attempt to drop each other off using the visitor spots on 3rd street near Swain Hall West/East, but they are ALWAYS full with the same group of cars. These cars stay there all day, and it's clear that the spots are not being patrolled at all, because they are there every single day of the week. I understand Bloomington is a big town to patrol, but it's ridiculous that these spots have just become a place for 6 lucky people to leave their cars at the expense of people who actually need to use the spots for their intended purpose. Please please have parking officers start patrolling those spots more often. Thank you.

This jeep is constantly parked at the yellow curb at the corner of Dunn St. and 6th St. the top photo was taken on January 23 and the bottom today, February 3. I have never seen a ticket on it and I’m assuming they’ve never gotten one since they’re still regularly parking there. Is it possible to keep an eye out for it? The license plate is New York HPN-9289. This feels petty but it is jus always there.
