This meter is taking quarters but not registering them. I’m out $.50.

Parking meters in this parking lot are not working, i.e., you cannot pay fees using parking meters. A lot of people leave their cars without paying because they see that the meters are defective. Then, it becomes, a classic scam: meters do not work - people have no way to pay - people leave their cars and get a ticket - appeal gets rejected and people have to pay fees. There is a difference between people not paying parking fees and people not being able to pay because the parking equipment was faulty, see the scam scheme above.
Parking meter at the southern end of these couple of parking spaces did not respond to coins. Fed about a dollar's worth of quarters and it did not add any time or turn green. Credit card worked.
The two lights in the alley along the west wall of the 4th Street parking garage are out. The one closest to the photographer in this photo has been out since a few weeks after the garage opened. I would suspect that they are both still under warranty. The alley is pretty dark, the photo is misleading as to the light level there. Thanks, Brian
Follow up on Case #199613. This report shows that it has been resolved, but the lights have never been operational. I know that one of these lights failed after a few days of the parking garage opening. I would imagine they are still under the original warranty from the contractor that built the garage / supplied the electrical fixtures. Sorry for being pesky about this, but the exterior of the parking garage looks nice . . . and having two lights that have been out of commission for over two years does not send the message that I believe we want to send. Furthermore, it seems like the contractor should still be on the hook for this repair.
Gridlock at the 4th street parking garage. Have been stuck on the 4 th level for over 30 minutes. Concerned that my prepaid parking fee won't be valid and will have to pay more to get out?
There are cars that have been in the parking lot for several weeks that do not move them at all and there are times when there is no place to park
These two cars have been moving from the same place for more than a month, so we don't have parking for a viciante or for our own cars. I think it shouldn't be like that since we also need a place to park
When will the Morton Garage’s elevator be fixed? Also is the city of Bloomington employee lots (where the farmers market is on Saturdays) open to free public parking after 5pm during the week?
Is the Morton garage 50 cents for an hour? The sign out front says 50 cents per half hour, but the city website says 50 cents for a whole hour.
