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.

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.

The house at 621 West 6th Street has tiny no parking signs in their yard along Fairview Street. Is this an actual no parking zone? If so, these do not look like legitimate no parking signs.

I am hoping that i can be credited for my lack of action manually deactivating my parking session. I love the app and convenience of using the app for parking. However, the new pricing model requiring a stop action tripped me up...and I think it is more difficult and not as user friendly. I only parked for 30 minutes ..however, I was charged for the entire day:

I currently have a parking space at the morton parking garage. I have left the city and need to cancel my parking through City of Bloomington Garages. I haven't been able to get anyone to return my calls. Can you please cancel this service for me at the end of July. Thank you.

I was looking at garage parking permits and it said 67 for non reserved paring for 24 hours 7 days a week. I was wondering if this is an annual pass or do I pay weekly?
Also does this apply to the parking garage on morton between 6th and 7th
thank you
