My old car which is registered to park in Bloomington does not work anymore and I'm getting rid of it. I am getting a new car for the next few weeks to replace the old one. Can I use the sticker on the old car and put it in the new one to park on the street or can I not do that since I didn't register with the city?

Blocked Street
250 S Washington ST
- Case Date:
- 4/4/2025
Rideshare drivers (Uber, Lyft, etc) regularly stop and park in the middle of the bike lane at this location while they load up passengers from the nearby rental units. Last evening, I explained to one of them that it was not a place to park, but she just smiled, cackled, and drove off. Is this even a violation, or can they just stop anywhere they please for as long as they like? If it is a violation, and since it's so close to the police station, it seems like there could easily be an officer out there handing out tickets to teach them a lesson. Maybe they eventually will get the message that they don't own the roads.
Inaccessible Parking

The only accessible parking spot is diagonal and tucked into a corner, leaving the blue lined area for wheelchair ramp deployment much smaller and awkwardly shaped than usual. Also, there's a 15 minute time limit on the spot, despite it being the only accessible spot in the lot. I'm not sure how someone could deploy a wheelchair ramp, exit their vehicle, and turn their wheelchair while parked in this spot if the adjacent parking spots are occupied. I could be completely wrong about this, but I thought that accessible spots were supposed to have an extra 2 hours on top of any time constraints on the non-accessible spots in the same lot. The other spots in this same lot all have a 15 minute limit, so shouldn't this spot have a 2 hour and 15 minute limit? It seems really limiting to only have one accessible parking spot in the lot and have it be an extremely tight fit and restrict it to only 15 minutes. This parking spot is for a coffeeshop where college students regularly work on their laptops - if someone needs to use the accessible parking spot, doesn't the 15 minute limit prevent them from being able to work or study in this coffeeshop like others get to do?

613 S Eastside Drive

2 'abandoned' vehicles: Red Ford truck and white Ford SUV. These vehicles have been there for weeks now, have not moved an inch. Residents at nearby houses are starting to complain that their guests cannot find a parking place because these 2 vehicles are parked there permanently. Especially the Red truck has been there a multiple of 3 days without having moved. City Ordinance 15.04.020 states that this means the vehicles are considered 'abandoned'. The owner at 612 Eastside Drive either needs to park these vehicles somewhere else where they can sit for weeks and months on end, or be made aware that he needs to move them every 3 days, so as not to be in violation of the City Ordinance. The Parking Officer drives by several times a day, so it should not be too hard to see that these vehicles just sit there and sit there.
