Hello, I am a resident and student who parks downtown on a daily basis Mon-Fri. I pay to park through Parkmobile, yet since January of this year I have received 4 parking citations for an "expired meter." The cause of the issue is that my [personalized] plate contains the letter "O", and parking enforcement officers continuously check for my plate using the number "0" without taking the time to ensure that it is spelled correctly. After the third occasion, I received a very nice note from the clerk's office stating that the city's parking enforcement officers would all be notified of this type of error, and that I should not have anything to worry about in the future. Despite this, Officer 333pm issued me my fourth wrongful citation yesterday. This specific officer has in total issued me 3 citations, 2 before the department-wide notice and 1 afterwards. I am greatly concerned about the quality of this officer's job performance. An individual who maintains the authority to issue citations and fines ought to observe this position with responsibility, and it has become increasingly clear to me that this officer does not respect their own position nor those who park downtown. I should not have to display a note in my vehicle's dashboard instructing officers on how to spell my license plate, nor especially should I worry every day that I will have another citation to appeal. This is negligence at best on behalf of Officer 333pm and does not reflect well upon the city's parking enforcement department. I write this report practically in desperation, as I am unsure of what other action can be taken to prevent more wrongfully-issued citations that waste Bloomington's time, effort, and money.

I was incorrectly fined for a citation that wasn’t in my right of way. I parked in this spot facing the opposite direction as I came from that direction along the TWO-WAY street and leave facing the direction I would park, which is viable and accepted by the Park on Morton residency, as there are frequently and normally others who park the same way. Furthermore there is no parking meter placed in which I could be fined as I have the parking pass in which I pay $100 monthly for parking services. I park in this spot often, my residence town home is directly adjacent to the spot. I asked the Park on Morton office about if this fine was viable, as I wasn’t on street ground or city property next to any meter and was unhinging street conduct, they reassured that I was upset in feeling wronged for my claim as my parking permit entails that I park on street property regardless of direction valid since it’s a two way street and it isn’t within their conduct. My appeal was upheld but basically I parked in a way that I’ve parked many times previously, other cars park both directions all the time especially down that curved road that only leads on to the property which is why I’ve been reaffirmed by the office that isn’t even parking city services area and that they don’t have a right.

We parked in parkikng zone 7653 yesterday (Aug. 29) from 3:20-4:20 pm. We tried to put in a $1 coin, but the machine didn't take, so we used quarters instead. The quarters worked, so we tried the $1 coin again, but the machine ate it again. Is there any way we can get our $2 back? I tried calling the office and they transferred me to the person who could issue a credit back, but no one answered the call and the voicemail hadn't been set up yet, so I couldn't leave a message. I appreciate your help.

I need to know who hit my car and possibly get the footage, but theres never anyone in the garage office. There are also no phone numbers that I can find.

For the last couple of weeks there has been an orange traffic barrel with a "Sidewalk Closed" sign on it sitting in the back yard of a student rental house next to our office. I assume it is a city barrel. Our office is at 914 E. Atwater, the first building east of the Subway. The house the barrel is behind is the next house east of us (blue siding, white trim). The easiest way to get to it is through the alley: go up Atwater past the Subway and turn right into the alley just past the grass lot. Turn left into the alley that runs parallel with Atwater. The barrel is in the grass between the parking lot behind our building and the parking area behind the rental house.
