Recently I have had numerous experiences in which the parking meter took my coins but did not apply time. Today it was parking meter 76130 on 6th st. I put $1.05 in quarters and dimes. I got 31 minutes on the meter. This has happened at meters near the library and on the square. I am not concerned so much about the amount of money I am putting in the meter but that I may run out of time because I don't have enough change even though I have filled the meter. When are the meters maintained? how does one complain in the moment?
Driving home on I-69, I foolishly decided to stop in Bloomington for s bite to eat. I parked on Kirkwood where another car was parked. I parked at a meter that was not posted "No Parking". I went into a pizza place, ordered, and came back to my car withing 5 mins. I was sitting in the car when a policeman approached. He was very rude, informing me it was a No Parking Zone. It appears I did not see the sign, as it was on the ground, and I should have been looking on the ground before parking. I made it very clear that I was just there for a moment, but still got a ticket. A ticket that had to be paid within a week or it doubled. That's quite a racket you have going there. I learned a very valuable lesson though. Bloomington is not a welcoming town for visitors who don't know the rules. I will not be stopping in Bloomington on any future trips on I-69.
