Car parked on sidewalk
Car parked on sidewalk
I'm trying out a new category since no one reads the other ones I've used. Every time i walk here i have to walk in the street for half a block because people park on the sidewalk (partly because hoosier workwear had concrete blocks that force cars onto the sidewalk)
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.
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
Two cars are parked in front of 1935 E 2nd Street, completely t blocking the sidewalk on a busy street. (They even have a driveway on Anita that is empty.)
These scooters have been sitting in this area for at least 8 days. There is no sidewalk on the south side of 1st St., so pedestrians on the sidewalk have to contend with the scooters. I personally have moved them of the walk and out of the street in the last several days. They are potentially a hazard for students walking to/from Rogers & Binford schools.

This concerns the traffic jam every week day on Countryside Drive at Summit Elementary School as parents are picking up their children. Cars are parked (poorly) on both sides of the street, leaving barely a single lane for through traffic. Kids are running along the sidewalk and across the street to get to their parent's cars, creating a dangerous situation. For those of us on Sunflower Drive, this is our only route in or out of our neighborhood, and it has become very hazardous and difficult. We would be very grateful if something could be done about it. Thank you.
