This parking meter located at the library would not read my credit card(s). I tried the two I have multiple times. No I tried fast pull, slow pull, leaving it in. Wiping the card off. Etc Please make note and don't ticket me. Dawn Herr
Bike lane blocked. West side of N College just south of train bridge. Ticketing has been ineffective. I first reported this particular vehicle in this particular location in ticket #167325 on feb 6.
There is a very damaged car parked in front of our house for about a month and a half now. Not only is the car parked and has not moved, but it’s too close to the stop sign on the corner of 16th and Washington and is parked in the yellow. License plate is 914NMA.
This is a follow-up on ticket 167264. I want to thank you for installing the No Parking signs. Unfortunately, people are still parking in the bike lane just south of the train bridge on N. College. A black Jeep with Illinois plate E296690 has been parked there about since I started paying attention. Today, a white Ford SUV with temporary tag 25711S3 was even parked in the part of the lane with the yellow curb. Meanwhile, a police car drove past all of it. Please send some enforcement officials to remove or at least ticket these vehicles.
Cars parked in bike lane on west side of college just south of train bridge (near 12th st). Still. Traditionally these complaints wind up on the desk of RayeAnn Cox and/or Danna Workman, which has not once resulted in a resolution in the five years I have been submitting this kind of complaint. Presumably not their fault, but I'm looking for results - you gotta do something different! Please forward this to someone who can do something about it instead. I have directly communicated with Adam Wason about blanket non-enforcement of cars blocking bike&ped infra, and he said he should be notified personally if non-enforcement continues. If you cannot figure out what to do about this, please forward it to him.
Tuesday morning I went downtown. There were a lot of cars parked on the street, possibility due to the closed parking garage. After a few trips around the block, Collage, Kirkwood and 2nd, street, I found an open space. After pulling I found that the meter stated that it was for credit card only. Okay, I got back in the car and went to another open space--same message, credit card only. So, why would you have parking meters that require credit cards only? Rather a costly option for the parking space. Sounds like Bloomington just doesn't "get" parking meters. And, if the meter is a credit card only device, why not paint that device a different color?
I encourage someone to take a look at the state of the Morton Street parking garage's elevator. It's unsightly, in total disrepair, and an embarrassment that poorly represents Bloomington to all the out-of-town visitors who stay at the the Hilton and park in the garage.
The parking meters around Fountain Square Mall and possibly more of downtown have been full since at least Thursday morning the 7th. Probably sooner because they were all full first thing in the morning on Thursday. Why are the meters not being emptied? I dislike using my credit card for this and some of my clients do not have a card when they come in and they are late trying to find a meter than will accept coins. It has been several days now and this is not acceptable.
IU has made the turn lane in front of the Atwater garage their own personal parking space. They park their trucks there for hours at a time on a routine basis, with no work being done nearby that would justify the need for the trucks to be there. I work in Optometry and start my day later than most, and have to wait until I get past the trucks to get into the turn lane to get into the garage. Does IU not have enough parking for its own vehicles? Nobody else would be allowed to park in a turn lane like this. Photo taken 2/11/19, 10 a.m.
On west side of N College just south of train bridge (about 12th st), cars parked in bike lane. For what it's worth, there is also still (still!) snow in the bike lane at 14th st - it has mwlted enough that it's now passable, but not clear. Sorry there is no location info...this app is buggy!
