The street lights on the West side of the parking garage are way too bright and low to the ground. The patrons at the Backdoor and the Blockhouse bars use that alley to socialize ( There is never any automobile traffic in the alley). The worst light is the one that shines directly into the entrance to the Blockhouse ( Its where everyone gathers outside and between shows). The light is blinding and shining directly into the faces of the patrons. Please: 1) get rid of the light(s) or move the to a higher location. 2) physically block the lights so that they will not shine straight out 3) replace the bulbs with something less bright and with a warmer "color temperature" ( 2700k). Or do a combination of these things. Thanks.

Last night I tried for an hour to upload the required documents for a residential parking permit for my son’s car. The system rejects both pdfs and jpegs repeatedly. Today, I came to city hall to get the permit in person, and I was redirected to parking services on south walnut. When I arrived — at 12:45p — only one person appeared to be in the office, and she was unable to process the request and give me a residential parking permit. She indicated that the “person who could handle it,” was at lunch and would return at 1:30p. Like many, I presume, I used my own lunch hour to make an in-person visit to obtain a required residential parking permit. Staffing choices and, essentially, an office closure during a Bloomington resident’s traditional lunch hour seems inefficient and ineffective. I am standing in the parking office awaiting the return of, seemingly, the one person who can process my permit request.

Neighbors ignore the 4 foot free on either side of drive daily, this dude parked a further foot in drive, impairing visibility and access to drive. Yellow curb markings need to be repainted, hoping that will cut down on illegal parking. Almost got creamed pulling out last weekend as neighbor had extended cab pickup extending into drive on one side and car on the other. Please help before there’s a serious accident!

The alley next to the 1104 N Grant house (sits at the corner of 15th and Grant) is half blocked by broken down cars. We have a driveway to our home that is only accessible by this alley. Our standard size cars have issues coming in and out of this alley. Please help. THANK YOU!
