at 9:45 a.m. 4/29 I tried to use the parking meter app, which i have used many times) on 76118 (i was at "b"). the app said no such parking place. i tried three times making sure i was getting the number right. could have been a system-wide failure rather than this meter.
however, while I'm at it, i resorted to analog quarter method. I put two in a glanced down to see I only had 15 min. I put some more in and they registered properly. might want to have someone put a bunch of quarters in to see if this was just a fluke or a problem with this meter.
p.s. i actually like the meter system. previously there just was no option to park on the street downtown as all slot always full. now one at least has that option. i think with the free hours in the garages/lot and their proximity, most of the time that should work for most people.

My sister has lived in Bloomington, near campus, for 30 years. I drive down from NWIndiana several times a year to visit her. The last time, in April, I received 2 parking tickets for parking in front of her house with an expired parking pass. Turns out, she never received the 2017 pass she paid for and thought the 2016 on her fridge WAS the 2017 pass. So now I'm out $40 (and I'm currently unemployed) and she's out whatever money she paid for the pass. I tried to appeal the tickets and they were DENIED. This is ridiculous. I am not a teenager or college student trying to pull a fast one. This was an honest mistake and I don't believe I should be charged. I no longer feel welcome by the city of Bloomington.

I put at least $3.50 in the meter, which is $1.00/hr. The coins did not register properly. I only received 2 hours of parking. The meter is #6THE504A--second or third space east of Dunn on 6th St. I don't care so much about the extra money, but I do care that the situation is fixed.

Hello, i am writing to get more information on parking permits for downtown employees. I currently work on Kirkwood ave. I and my co-workers currently park in a "3 hour free" parking alot behind out building we are very busy with clients during the day and do not always have time to run out to pay the parking lot. I personally average $20-$80 a week in parking tickets. I would much rather spend that money on a month/yearly parking pass. Is there any that are available?
Thank you,
