Jennifer works at Wonderlab and said she's tried to report several times this week that the parking meters in front of Wonderlab (on 4th St. between Madison and College, minimally) have been blacked out. It looks to her like someone has taken a Sharpie and completely drawn over the meters' LED panels. She's received many questions from Wonderlab patrons about the meters and whether they're functioning.
One of the city hall parking meters was reported as having anti-Semitic graffiti on it.
I encourage someone to take a look at the state of the Morton Street parking garage's elevator. It's unsightly, in total disrepair, and an embarrassment that poorly represents Bloomington to all the out-of-town visitors who stay at the the Hilton and park in the garage.
Anonymous caller. Said a car is blocking the bike lane at 519 S. Washington. Said the car has been parked there for a couple of weeks,
Resident lives at 515 1/2 Fess. States there is a white truck/van that parks in and completely blocks the alley.
Received a complaint from a citizen that people are parking diagonally in the parallel spaces on Dunn Street at the SE corner of Dunn and 15th. There are three parallel parking spaces provided on this East side of Dunn Street. People are angle parking here to park more vehicles. This makes it difficult to turn from 15th onto Dunn as the rear end of the vehicles are in the Northbound travel lane.
Caller stated cars are parking on both sides of street to where it is almost impossible to get through and at the stop sign to where you cannot see the sign.
There is a white sedan, Indiana license plate AEK322, illegally parked on West 4th & Waldron, partially blocking alley between two houses. It happens often.
Caller reports that a neighbor (likely living at 416 or 418 E. Cottage Grove) parks halfway in the alley, blocking access and other parking spots.
Semi driver who delivers to Auto Zone (2437 W. 3rd St.) complained that side street between Auto Zone and JD Byrider is blocked with parked cars on both sides of the street, blocking fire hydrants as well. He can't easily approach the Auto Zone back entrance with his truck and JD Byrider has refused to move parked cars. Is S. Opportunity Lane a city street?
