Referring to case #203052, closed on 5/30/2025 as an ongoing enforcement case. License plate still is not current. Is from 2016 (used to be 1975 until last summer, when it was replaced), but this is not visible now because there is a glove hanging over the year sticker.
Residents at 814 S. Eastside Drive routinely park on their lawn to fit 4 to 5 vehicles in the driveway. There are 2 cars parked on the lawn.
Sine there is no section PARKING VIOLATIONS so I chose this category. Please forward to the correct category superviser. The Red Ford Truck has been parked at 619 S Eastside Drive forever. The owner lives at 612. This truck has not been moved for 3 days continually and is on public property. It probably has not been moved in all the years that has been sitting there a 1000 times for 3 days. According to the Bloomington Municipal Code that makes it an abandoned vehicle. The owner will say it is not abandoned, but then you need to change the definition of 'abandoned vehicle' in your code. On top of this, this vehicle has a license plate that expired more than a year ago. The owner also owns a white sedan which has a license plate that expired more than a year ago as well.
No category for 'Parking violations' so please forward this to the right person. Since 1993, when the owner moved to this address, his white truck has been parked in the driveway at 612 S Eastside Drive. As can been seen in the picture from Elevate, it was there too when this picture was taken in 2015. It definitely is 3 or more model years old. The last license sticker that can be seen on it dates from 1975. So it clearly has been in the same location, visible from the street, for more than 20 days (Code 15.04.020 (6): Abandoned Vehicle. The question is: is it mechanically inoperable? That is up to the owner to prove when you ask him to.
This is not a complaint about parking meters or a citation, but I could not find another category that fits my complaint. Referring to closed case #201015. Reason for closing this case is given as: 'vehicle is located on private property'. See attached text of the Bloomington City Ordinance, 15.04.020 6). It seems that the grey Dodge without a license plate, parked next to the garage door in the driveway at 717 S Eastside Drive makes a prefect fit. One of the tenants at 717 S Eastside Drive has confirmed that the vehicle is inoperable. Whether it is older than 3 years will need to be determined. The vehicle is visible from the street and has been there for at least 1 year. HAND thinks that this is Parking Enforcement's turf, Parking Enforcement refers me to HAND. This car takes up one parking space in the driveway, resulting in one other tenant having to park their vehicle in the street, oftentimes right across from 704 S Eastside Drive. Especially after snowfall, it is very hard to maneuver out of 704's driveway with a car parked right in front of it.
Vehicle repeatedly parked on this residential permit street without a valid City permit. It is not registered to any residence in the neighborhood and is being used as long-term storage parking. License # is ZST890
