A large white box truck taking up residential street parking. It appears this person is moving this truck around the neighborhood. I believe the owner is running a business out of this truck. He meets people and appears to sell parts and then he locks the truck and rides away on a bicycle. There is a solar panel on top of the truck and a power cord running in. The owner and 'customers' meet and climb in to the back of the truck through the cab and then leave after some time. I have seen this because he has parked by my house more than once. It is concerning because parking is so very limited in my neighborhood and this truck is taking up a valuable residential parking. I have noticed he moves the truck around the neighborhood every few days so he is aware of not parking it for very long to avoid receiving a citation. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The curb that encloses the parking lot in front of Turquaz Cafe is a hazard to vehicles. It's very difficult to park in the provided spaces because there's a ditch meeting that much higher curb just behind it. It leaves too little room for drivers to maneuver out of a parking space and out of the lot. I often eat at this restaurant and several times have been blocked in due to trucks parking in adjacent spaces. This makes the already difficult task of maneuvering out of the space impossible. And I've damaged my car on the ditch and curb. At the very least, the spots should be labeled for compact cars only. Ideally, the curb would be removed and the lot repaved. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Neighbors ignore the 4 foot free on either side of drive daily, this dude parked a further foot in drive, impairing visibility and access to drive. Yellow curb markings need to be repainted, hoping that will cut down on illegal parking. Almost got creamed pulling out last weekend as neighbor had extended cab pickup extending into drive on one side and car on the other. Please help before there’s a serious accident!

Our neighbor at 2285 south Sweetbriar Court. Packs his boat on a trailer on street parking. I have seen Amazon driver not able to go between vehicles parked on street. Neighbor straight across has a big white work van on street. I'm concerned about a Senior neighbor that needs Access Bloomington for her MD appointments. Also, I wonder if an ambulance could get thru as well. Thank you. Concerned neighbor.

I am routinely seeing cars parked in front of the fire hydrant at 525 E. University St. Twice I've called the BPD to report it (other times I've left notes on cars or spoken directly to the car owners) and twice I've watched BPD drive by and do nothing. Each time BPD drove by about 10 minutes after my call which makes me think they got the call and just chose not to take action. In the very least the yellow paint in front of the fire hydrant needs to be redone, as it is very faint. I think it would be helpful if they painted the fire hydrant as well.

What is the value of creating uReport incidents for scooters? I recently created Case #181916 and got three emails, the first to tell me the case was created and I should contact Bird directly. The second, to tell me that the case is closed and a third saying that Anonymous assigned this case to Anonymous and providing a link to the case. I also created 181882 over the weekend. Nothing has changed when I follow the link for the case. I have contacted Bird directly before but typically they then tell me that the case is resolved and I have to explain that the case was closed the instant I created and I was referred to them. And then we go round and round and nothing happens. Can we just an scooters?

Sat. morning I woke up to see the outline of an RV in the alley. When I went to take the photo, there was another car behind it, which subsequently moved. I was told by my neighbor that the RV had arrived Fri. night. As I was taking a photo, the owner came out and I informed him that he should move his car because it was in the public alley. He looked at me like I was insane, and then asked why. I also said he was parked next to my fence, where there is a large sign that says "No Trespassing," put up on the advice of Officer Dilts of the BPD. He then proceeded to spit out his toothpaste and water from his mouth onto the green area near the fence under the aforementioned sign. I do not know whether this green area is my property or the public alley, which is one reason we have been requesting that the City demarcate the public alley. I was also appalled by the nastiness. he remained parked in the alley until Sunday afternoon. I am asking for relief from the nonstop use of the public alley as the private backyard of this illegal frat (see Planning for their "Cease to function as a frat" NOV, which was sent twice to them with a final date of "by October 10, 2017." As is obvious from all the various Ureports I have written, most of their illegal parking occurs when no one is available at Parking. And when someone does come, the cars are not ticketed. I believe that only fines will discourage this constant viavai of cars and RVs. In addition to the fear that my fence would be damaged, the RV was hooked up to the house so that there was a motor/generator? going constantly and making constant noise. I am asking for you to come up with a solution to the private use of this public alley - a No Parking sign with towing and ticketing promised, or to vacate the alley so that the illegal frat can have their half to use as they please and we the homeowners at 1003 and 1005 E. Hunter may have our half to use as we please.

Car parked in the public right of way in the alley behind my house. It is clear that the illegal fraternity continues to use the public alley as their private parking lot and storage space. There were numerous spaces available on the streets around their houses. I again request you come and demarcate the alley so that this illegal parking in the alley next to my fence ceases
