This request is for one additional No Parking sign on Union Street, just north of 7th Street. Bloomington Municipal Code 15.32.080 describes a No Parking zone on the west side of Union Street spanning from 7th to 175 feet north of 7th St. Currently this area has a yellow painted curb; however, when there is snow, the curbs are covered. I have spoken with Parking, who states they are unable to ticket when the yellow curbs are covered. I am asking that you please erect one (or more) No Parking sign to cover this particular No Parking zone. When vehicles park in this region, it makes it very difficult for vehicle to see traffic approaching from the north when turning from the west part of 7th onto Union St. I live on the SE corner of 7th & Union and often hear cars honking due to near-collisions—presumably due to poor visibility. I also drive a transit bus for IU; even in the bus, it is very difficult to see traffic approaching from the north. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding my inquiry. Again, this is already a codified no parking zone with yellow curb paint; I'm just asking that a No Parking sign be erected so that it remains enforceable when snow obscures curbs.
Please investigate the current parking problem at 814 S. Eastside Drive. The occupants are blocking the sidewalk and parking numerous cars in the street -interfering with traffic).
Residents have multiple cars and trucks parked across the full width of the sidewalk bordering their house. This extends beyond any staging or load-up for their food truck, and is a regular parking spot for their SUV, sedan, and guests. I reported this issue via "Blocked Sidewalk", and as a Broadview neighborhood officer I would appreciate a direct update on communication to these neighbors. Thanks so much.
Contractor vehicles have been parking on the sidewalk in this location for several days now....please ticket
Two SUVs parked on sidewalk
Occasionally, I find a vehicle parked on the bicycle/pedestrian path that leads from Countryside Lane to the apartment complex behind the houses on Countryside Lane and Adams Circle. I often walk or cycle in this neighborhood and find it difficult to navigate the improperly parked vehicle, which usually blocks the cross sidewalk as well. Would it be possible to install a couple of posts to discourage parking on the path? I'm not looking to get anyone ticketed, but a good number of drivers seem to be conveniently ignorant of the rules here. Thank you, Nick.
