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

I have never had car accidents since 2010. But a recent Carfax report reveals that an accident has reported to you in Feb. 7th, 2010. “My car ran off road and hitted a tree”. I think it’s unimaginable. Can you help me to check the vehicle accident report? Thank you very much.

I would like to compliment the Parking Enforcement for being able to ticket for an expired meter within 6 minutes of the expiration of the time. I saw the parking officer walking away as I approached. It was almost as remarkable of a job well done as the time this last winter when I received a ticket at 9:46 pm on a weekend night that I was 3 minutes late getting back to my car. the latter ticket was more impressive based on the fact that is was on a dark area of the block and there were no other cars parked on the whole block. That person was making money for the Town to the very end. I am impressed with how the City helps you always want to watch the clock when visiting downtown. Also, the City has renewed my interest in collecting coins. I am also impressed by the subliminal attempt to have people visiting the City to seek out establishments and restaurants that do not have parking meters in front of them. Well done! I also had a complaint I would liked to have lodged about visiting Bloomington downtown but just noticed this compliment box as the only means of communication.. so I just stuck with the compliments!

Police reports have been filed because car robberies have occurred numerous times on Jackson Street. We were hoping to get street lights put in order to maybe reduce the amount of theft in the neighborhood.

The street light in front of 4300 E. Jamet Drive seems to have issues with the sensor (maybe the wiring). It goes on and off every few secs.

The street light is on Jefferson and Roosevelt, by the eigamman parking lot. I would like for this to be fixed as soon as possible to ensure everyones' safety.

There is still an intersection light out at the intersection of N Woodburn Ave and 15th street. The lights at the intersections in this residential area are essential for safe walking and driving and crime deterrence because not enough people (myself excluded) do not keep their porch lights on. As a result this area can be extremely dark which provides cover for various activities which might involve crime. I just had a break-in at my back porch door Easter Sunday morning (drunk student who thought he was home, he passed out and urinated all over the floor, police were called) despite motion-controlled lighting at my driveway and 24x7 light at my back porch door. I have had to install a police-dispatched security system as a result. But city lights (what few there are) MUST be checked and maintained. Why can't police patrols notice lights out?? I would like an answer via email. Thank you. Your attention to these matters is usually excellent. I hope it is regarding this matter.
