Every Friday people park on both sides of 89th between 18th Ave and Old Cedar Ave. And it is allowed!!!! It seems that a group that is near ae controlling the enforcement of laws not the city!
Abandoned car has been parked and not moved for over 9 days.
Blue Honda parked against traffic
Green car is parked withing 20' of crosswalk. White car may be also. Both cars are crowding the intersection.

Truck in the intersection. I know you guys tend to ignore illegally parked vehicles when someone's getting paid to park there, but this one has been there for hours and doesn't appear to be connected to a job being done.
In light of the exchanges on the issue of these cars being parked within 20' of the crosswalk at the intersection of S Henderson and E Wylie, I wanted to post a picture that really emphasized the distance. This is a car parked on the road shoulder (in the right of way) and it is clearly parked within 20' of the crosswalk, which is pictured. I don't know if this car being parked *perpendicular to the right of way* is any kind of additional violation. Since it's also sticking out into the city-improved section of the right of way, whatever regulation applies to cars parked in private drives but sticking substantially out into the city-improved section (the street) seems like it could apply, but I can't really speak to that.

Now they've added a large white SUV DOUBLE PARKED on the West end of this shoulder parking area. Since my compact sedan barely fit through, I'm going to say it's not leaving the 12 ft of Lane we're told is required. I also believe that double parking other cars in the right of way is it violation, but I'm sure that gets tricky since technically those cars aren't supposed to be parked on the self-improved shoulder to begin with (though I appreciate that the city is not enforcing that since it would make vast swaths of Bloomington inaccessible all together).
The Parking Kiosk that is behind the Uptown Cafe, across from the church, is completely unreadable in bright sunlight. I parked and attempted to use the kiosk Friday September 3rd 2026. One could not read the screen on the kiosk unit at all. It rendered it unusable. Sunglasses or no sunglasses the screen seemed was total obscured and completely useless. I had to move my car. Please investigate. I wish the regular meters would be reinstalled. Easier for elderly residents to use, but I feel more and more our electronic navigation issues are of little concern by the city.
