Illinois plated pickup truck blocking sidewalk at SE corner of Howe and Rogers
Illinois plated pickup truck blocking sidewalk at SE corner of Howe and Rogers
There is a Lincoln car (plate 114PQA) consistently parked in the yellow, no parking zones at the southwest corner of Hawthorne and 1st Street. It makes it very difficult for drivers to see oncoming traffic.
I parked at meter 7612 today at approximately 1340 and deposited 50 cents but was only credited with 15 minutes. I would like a refund for the 25 cents I wasn’t credited with. How do I obtain my refund?
There is an abandoned tan Chevrolet Astro minivan at 505 W. 4th Street.
There are many cars parked on the street in front of this house. Some park on both sides of street (going wrong way) which hardly leaves enough room for a car to get through. An emergency vehicle could not. They have a long driveway and parking at back but there are always at least 3 cars parked on street. One is a white pickup truck. House next to it (502 Clover Terr) also park on street which is right on curve where you turn in to Clover Terrace from Cascades Ave. They also have a driveway.
There is a truck parts at the end of a street near a cul-de-sac (village court). with a bunch of trash and other debris piled above bed of the truck. The truck itself has a completely flat tire and is off of the rim. It has been parked like that for at least a week probably two or more without moving. The truck does not have license plates on it.
This is the SECOND time I'm bring this issue to the City's attention. The person who has a private parking spot at 521 W Smith Avenue refuses to park within the white lines (parking ON the lines does not cut it; either the person is totally unaware of his vehicle location, or he refuses to follow the law and compromises the safe travel along this little run of Smith Ave. e.g. makes it problematic for city sanitation, UPS/USPS/FedX, and emergency vehicles. (I would include a photo of his current "on the line" parking which is about two feet away from his limestone wall e.g. PLENTY of extra space to ease out of the middle of the street, but you get the the 'picture'. Again, this is my second request to move the City into action. A small problem, but it represents a long-standing disregard or manipulation for/of the law. And as I said before, I spoke with this person directly and encouraged him to park between the lines.)
Meter takes change, doesn't add time. In front of big Brothers big sisters on walnu.

I just paid on line a bill for a parking citation I have never seen. I just received Notice of Overdue Citation. It would seem fair to receive and see the Citation before I am unable to appeal or threats of being sent to a collection agency. At this point It seems I have to trust the citation is real and not something made up by a local government. Was the violation in a no parking zone, was the meter not fed, was the meter broken or not accepting payments. Seems as if the rate for the violation is steep depending on the circumstance which I do not know. Policing for profit may be the way Bloomington pays for city services. Lastly, the comment I will likely make about your city when asked will not involve my student's education and life experiences when schooling in your city but rather the gouging and threatening over a citation that was unknown to me.
