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.
Appealing a parking ticket
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.
Car regularly parks facing opposing traffic at 4026 e morningside.
Parking meter 4THW206-B in zone 76112 on 4th St has a screen that is unreadable.
Almost all parking meters around the courthouse square have been spray painted to prevent viewing of the screen and sprayed with a hard foam on the key and payment portions of the meter.
There are two 4-way stop signs on Allendale Drive in Sherwood Oaks Subdivision. Cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles rarely come to a complete stop. A rolling stop is common but what I have noticed is also alarmingly common is vehicles that don’t even slow down. They just blow right through it. SO subdivision is a very popular neighborhood for people walking, jogging and biking. I realize the police are busy with more serious issues but it sure would be nice to occasionally have some traffic enforcement on this matter before someone gets hurt or killed.
How is it possible that the owner of 3 vehicles, all of which have expired license plates (2 expired this month, 1 last year November) lets his vehicles sit in the street without the Parking Enforcement officer doing anything about it? One car is a white SUV, the other one is a white Sedan, the third one is a red Ford truck. This truck has been sitting in the place where it is now for over 3 months (at least) without having been moved. This is NOT an abandoned vehicle. It just sits there, taking up parking space in front of a neighbor's house.
Abandoned car? White Toyota, License IN 800ARI, with multiple flat tires, noted 1/2 between 4th and 5th on Elm has not moved for more than 2 weeks. Parking spot not associated with Pk&Rec office or house on Kirkwood.
