1. Parking meter is comparable to every other parking meter in town.
2. Meter is clearly configured and marked to accept coins: coin slot, label stating “COINS” with an arrow plus a notice “INSERT VALID COINS ONLY”
3. Despite the clear labeling and configuration of the meter to accept coins, alternating digital display actually reveals “CARDS ONLY”
4. Someone using the meter puts money in, only to get nothing for it, and THEN discover that despite the labeling, this particular meter (unlike hundred of others like it all over town) DOES NOT ACCEPT COINS.
5. Not accepting cash is an equity issue. Not everyone carries a credit card around.
6. There is no reason to make this so utterly confusing. This problem of misleading labels on the meter about accepting coins but not actually delivering paid time to park seems to be either a scam, incompetence, or laziness.

Seriously City of Bloomington ? You've put in meters and on top of 25cents an hour and parking ticket REVENUE, you are also requiring the user / city resident / visitor to pay YOUR credit card transaction fee. Really ? Please name me one downtown merchant that requires the customer to pay this fee. Ridiculous. I will be shopping / eating / recreating elsewhere. Not downtown Bloomington.
Good luck to you and your soon to be very irate merchants / downtown business owners.

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.

A charcoal Grey Jeep Cherokee Indiana License plate # UP5372 has been parked in front of our house for months. It has not moved. It looks like an expensive car, so abandoned for the summer by a foreign student? Isn't there a time limit on parking spaces?
