Parking on Hillsdale is clearly marked with signs that say "residential parking permitted M-F, 8-5." However, cars are routinely parked on both sides of Hillsdale in the evenings and on weekends. Most of them are parked near the intersection of Hillsdale and E. 7th St., which creates a very narrow lane for traffic and is a hazardous situation for drivers. The parking regulations for this street need to be enforced.

White truck parked along east side of Fairview Church. It's been there for a month - from the leaves around tires it doesn't look like it has moved. BUT, it's in a 2 hour zone. Please check it out.

Hi there, I live in an apartment complex in Elm Heights and have a question regarding the street parking on south side of 2nd street between Henderson and Fess where the Elm Heights Bloomingfoods used to be. Currently, the signs state that the parking is 2 hours, which made sense when the building was in use. However, neighborhood parking on the surrounding streets is pretty tight during the majority of weekdays when IU is in session. Unfortunately, there have been times when I have had to make use of these 2 hour spots due to the lack of availability of street parking near my dwelling and have been subsequently ticketed. Is there any specific reason why these spots are still being enforced with a 2 hour limit even though Bloomingfoods went out of business? Is there any way the 2 hour limit could be removed for those that display a neighborhood zone permits until a new tenant is found for the building? I understand that I am responsible for the fees incurred by my violation for this current 2 hour policy, but fail to understand why it is being maintained so aggressively given the fact that the reason for implementing the 2 hour street parking (accessibility for Bloomingfoods customers) is no longer valid. Thank you for your time.

I am in the process of planning our office closure in Bloomington and have a question related to the alley that is located to the west of our current building. What would I need to request for the alley to be partially closed for a day or two for a moving truck to be parked there while we move out furniture?

Several cars without parking permits are consistently parking in Neighborhood Zone 2 permit-only spaces. I paid for a Zone 2 parking permit and I cannot find a parking spot on Swain Ave. (where I live) because they are almost all filled with non-permitted vehicles. I'd like to request stricter enforcement of parking laws in Zone 2.

Hello, i am writing to get more information on parking permits for downtown employees. I currently work on Kirkwood ave. I and my co-workers currently park in a "3 hour free" parking alot behind out building we are very busy with clients during the day and do not always have time to run out to pay the parking lot. I personally average $20-$80 a week in parking tickets. I would much rather spend that money on a month/yearly parking pass. Is there any that are available? Thank you, -Tara Langley

I was paying to have a pass at the parking garage above Scottys and had to move away from work. I had a charge I did not recognize on my account and had Chase look into it, it was the parking pass. 3-4 months before I left my pass stopped working, I called and they said the payment terms changed and that my account was deactivated. Is there a way to get the charges to stop, my only other option with chase is to cancel the card. I would appreciate any help you can offer!

There have been an unreasonable amount of cars without permits during the week that park all around my house, which is near 8th and park ave, and there have been numerous occasions where I cannot even find a place to park at all. But then I'll go down the street and look and I notice, 2/3 of the cars don't have permits. I realize I live near campus buildings which draws people to want to park close to classes, but I believe that if tickets start being given, especially for repeat offenders, then this issue will be solved. Thanks for your time, Travis Johnson.
