Truck blocking sidewalk.....happens constantly
Black Lexus just parked on the sidewalk... How selfish. (No parking sign right next to where I took the picture too)
Put money in meter and it did not respond by adding more time. It's only $0.50, but I thought you'd want to know this one might be faulty.
Not really a problem, but maybe an improvement to a situation. I remember, while visiting Rehobooth, Va. That the parking meters had an available app. that I loaded on to my I phone. I was able to pay my parking meter via a credit card I had registered with a third party through my iPhone. The program even sent me a txt message when the meter timer was running low and asked if I wished to continue billing my credit card. I think Bloomington would benefit by this next step. Thank you.

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.
Apologies for submitting this in the "permit" category but there is nothing for "meters". We were parking at 6th and Walnut for lunch. I put a dollar coin in the meter and it just ate it. I had seen a sticker on another meter that showed quarters and dollar coins as acceptable. Apparently not. We then put quarters in. We wanted to pay for an hour, but after 3 quarters it stopped adding time. It ate two more quarters after that.
Same problem as before (sorry it was 6th and College, not Walnut). I just tried to put more money in and it ate it without adding time.
Only gave credit for one of the coin input in
