No category for 'Parking violations' so please forward this to the right person.
Since 1993, when the owner moved to this address, his white truck has been parked in the driveway at 612 S Eastside Drive. As can been seen in the picture from Elevate, it was there too when this picture was taken in 2015. It definitely is 3 or more model years old. The last license sticker that can be seen on it dates from 1975. So it clearly has been in the same location, visible from the street, for more than 20 days (Code 15.04.020 (6): Abandoned Vehicle. The question is: is it mechanically inoperable? That is up to the owner to prove when you ask him to.

Sine there is no section PARKING VIOLATIONS so I chose this category. Please forward to the correct category superviser.
The Red Ford Truck has been parked at 619 S Eastside Drive forever. The owner lives at 612. This truck has not been moved for 3 days continually and is on public property. It probably has not been moved in all the years that has been sitting there a 1000 times for 3 days. According to the Bloomington Municipal Code that makes it an abandoned vehicle.
The owner will say it is not abandoned, but then you need to change the definition of 'abandoned vehicle' in your code.
On top of this, this vehicle has a license plate that expired more than a year ago. The owner also owns a white sedan which has a license plate that expired more than a year ago as well.
Parking on Unimproved Surface
612 S Eastside Drive

A white SUV has been parked for many weeks in the same spot at 612 S Eastside Drive without having been moved. Based on the Elevate Map it looks like this is even the ROW. Also, the car is partially parked on the grass, = unimproved surface, because otherwise it would stick out too far into the street.
On top of this, the vehicle has a license plate that has been expired for more than a year.
In fact, based on the Municipal Code, this is to be considered an abandoned vehicle. See 15.04.020 (Abandoned Vehicles) : a) this is public property and b) it has been parked there continually without having been moved for a multiple of 3 day-periods.

Hello-
There are regularly cars blocking the bike lane here between 3rd and 4th St's n Washington St. Pretty much daily.
This has been a problem for years.
I wonder if there's anything the city can/will do about this. Or will it just continue to be a free-for-all parking lane?
thanks
