I ordered a parking pass on 08/06 and I still haven’t received it. I have called twice and it said it was mailed out on 08/09, and that there was a grace period this week and next week. My roommate ordered hers a few days ago and received hers. Every time I call, no one can tell me where my parking pass is. They just say it was mailed out. I think something might’ve been wrong with our mail service because we just moved in.
Cars w/o permits routinely park in 1104-1112 East 1st. Frequent violators are rust Ford Fusion 965DHV and gray Honda HRV CKL580
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.

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?
There are a couple of cars parked illegally on fess just south of university. This is not the first time they have parked on the wrong side of the street.
Illegal parking happening regularly, creating a dangerous situation. Curb needs to be painted and sign placed.
It would be great if parking enforcement could come around some on big weekends. Most weekends cars are parked to intrude slightly on my drive, clearly parked in the visible yellow paint. It's mostly only annoying but does reduce visibility and can make it tricky for me to back out. Thanks!
The yellow curb paint around the 1st Street entrance to the alleyway between Park and Stull Aves has come off the curb. This is leading to people parking very close to the alleyway entrance in a zone that should be designated as non-parking. Many houses on this block have garages which are only accessible via the alley. When a car is parked illegally close to the alleyway it makes it difficult or impossible to see oncoming traffic. Please repaint the curb or enforce parking rules on those parking in non-parking areas before an accident occurs.
Car parked in front of a fire hydrant/yellow curb and too close the intersection. This happens ALL the time, curb really needs to be repainted.
