White vehicle with a trailer attached to it parked for more than 2 hours at this address. The length of the vehicle and trailer combined is way over 19 ft (see Ord. 15.32.070). On top of that, the trailer has a license plate that has not been updated since 2019.
I had my car predatorily towed by Tow Time Towing and Recovery on 22 May, I believe in the afternoon. I woke up this morning needing to get to work, and my vehicle was gone. I panicked and assumed it had been stolen only to find it had been towed due to failure to display a parking permit – despite the fact that the parking lot was nearly completely empty, and I was not obstructing any parking. Additionally, I was parked in my parking place, but after driving, I forgot to return my parking pass to the mirror. The pass was removed because it obstructs my view while driving. I have seen that the cap cost in Bloomington for towing is $135 and yet Tow Time has insisted I owe them $170 for the tow. After explaining the situation they said there was nothing to be done. I have since not been able to get to work due to my vehicle being gone so unexpectedly and will have to walk over two miles to the impound lot to pay to retrieve my predatorily impounded vehicle. There were no warnings I was in violation, and this has caused a considerable disruption to my work schedule and put a very significant financial strain on me given the unexpected and, in my opinion, excessive nature of the fine for what was not an illegal action and was little more than a small error in forgetting to re-display my parking pass. I would appreciate any assistance in this moving forward, and I hope by filing this, I can assist in the prevention of predatory impounding like this moving forward.

This family constantly has vehicles parked in their front yard at 520 W. Duncan Drive. Makes the neighborhood look trashy.
Gray sedan, IN license plate #BGP885, parked right up at the intersection of Eastside Drive and Maxwell Lane on the west side of Eastside Drive. I’m aware that Parking Enforcement doesn’t work weekends, but I still wanted this information to be part of the data the city compiles. Thanks.
Blue car with flat tire appears to be abandoned. Garbage, junk, and debris is accumulating
They are blocking the road as always. One way in and one way out. Something needs to be done. They have metal and wood all in the road. This is almost daily, and this is the last thing I want to deal with when I'm coming home. Thank you!
The parking garages are said to be free after 5pm on Fridays, all day Saturday, and all day Sundays; however, I parked in there yesterday (Saturday) and had to pay when I left. The gates are still closed and red so i’m assuming the same will be for today.
