I live on Marilyn Drive. I park a vehicle overnight on the street. I just want to make sure this is OK. I have read the ordinance where I must park going the same direction as traffic and I must not obstruct traffic, i.e. I need to make sure there is 12 feet for traffic to pass by.
I just want to make sure on this. There are no - NO Parking signs on our street.
During the snow storm I did make a point of not park on the street overnight so the snow plows could get through.
Please let me know if I am OK with parking on the street - thanks for your help - Kevin Keough

We're moving to B'ton in July on S. High St. Our moving van will need to block S. High for 4-5 hours on a weekday; do we need a permit to have the truck block a bus route, and what is the cost if yes?

This house was sold and purchased by new owners in 2016. Since then the number of vehicles parked on the street has grown to as many as 7 over time. For the last 8 months, one of the vehicles has had 2 flat tires and has not moved. There have been many times (especially during snowy winter days) where the street becomes hard to navigate especially with two way traffic. Is there any ordinance that recommends the number of cars one can park in front of their house? Can an abandoned car remain on the streets for months on end? Perhaps the number of cars is related to the number of families residing at this home; is there a limit to the number of families that may be co-housing? How can this be resolved? Aside from the driving safety issues, it is a visual blight on our neighborhood and a very unfortunate welcome to our lovely neighborhood.

At the corner of Washington and first there has been a car parked in the bike lane for weeks and now there are two cars parking in the bike lane. The curb is painted yellow indicating no parking. Sometimes the cars have tickets on them but most of the time they don’t. That intersection is already not safe for cyclist and it’s compounded by cars always being parked in the bike lane

Hello, a car was parked illegally in front of my car today on Washington St at the stop sign at 2nd street. Since the car behind me was practically at my bumper, I was not able to access my car and make it to work on time because the car in front of me parked illegally.

This request is for one additional No Parking sign on Union Street, just north of 7th Street. Bloomington Municipal Code 15.32.080 describes a No Parking zone on the west side of Union Street spanning from 7th to 175 feet north of 7th St. Currently this area has a yellow painted curb; however, when there is snow, the curbs are covered. I have spoken with Parking, who states they are unable to ticket when the yellow curbs are covered. I am asking that you please erect one (or more) No Parking sign to cover this particular No Parking zone. When vehicles park in this region, it makes it very difficult for vehicle to see traffic approaching from the north when turning from the west part of 7th onto Union St. I live on the SE corner of 7th & Union and often hear cars honking due to near-collisions—presumably due to poor visibility. I also drive a transit bus for IU; even in the bus, it is very difficult to see traffic approaching from the north.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding my inquiry. Again, this is already a codified no parking zone with yellow curb paint; I'm just asking that a No Parking sign be erected so that it remains enforceable when snow obscures curbs.

The parking meters around Fountain Square Mall and possibly more of downtown have been full since at least Thursday morning the 7th. Probably sooner because they were all full first thing in the morning on Thursday. Why are the meters not being emptied? I dislike using my credit card for this and some of my clients do not have a card when they come in and they are late trying to find a meter than will accept coins. It has been several days now and this is not acceptable.
