I park on 6th street between Morton and College 5 days out of the week as I work on the square. About 60% of the time the meter will read my card as declined which causes me to move spots or try to find change to fill up the meter. I had to move 3 times on 12/2 because the first meter was blank, I was told to move and when I did that meter declined my card so I moved again and that one took my card. The same issue happened today but I didn’t have a space to move to so I put in what change I had, went into where I work and got 4 more quarters and put those in and then proceeded to do the pay by phone via a guest on the app to add the needed 6.5 hours. My confirmation email told me I had until 7:03pm but the amount paid total should have went until about 8:30pm. With no guarantee of not getting a ticket, my coworker went down and put enough in to go until 8:58pm just to be safe. So a total of almost $16 to park for 8.5 hours. The meters not working properly is a continued issue for me. I have lived in Bloomington my entire life and I’ve worked downtown for 4 years always using metered parking. It wouldn’t be a big deal to me if this didn’t happen to me multiple times a week. I call every so often to inform the city of Bloomington parking about the issues I have and I’m usually told there is no way to prevent getting a ticket even if the order is put in, I just have to contest the ticket with hopes it will be dismissed. It is just frustrating to me because I always pay and I’m more often than not completely inconvenienced or late to work trying to deal with the issues with the meter. It’s just disappointing as a life resident here that has to use that parking every day. I’m hoping this reaches someone that can try to address some of these issues.

The FBI is advising Americans to avoid sending text messages. A lot of city business is conducted via text. Is the city considering issuing some kind of guidance on this topic? And more broadly, is the city considering any changes to its cell phone policy? As it stands many employees are expected/required to use their personal devices for work, and they are not eligible for a city issued phone and there is no option for a stipend. Thank you.

Intersection of Walnut Street Pike and Rhorer. The north bound traffic light (going straight) is not functioning properly in recognizing when there is traffic so never turns green (unless there is a person in the left turn lane). This appears to have been happening at least since yesterday (12/9/24) morning

Someone called and left a message that the traffic signal at Indiana and Atwater was cycling incorrectly. It is not in sync with the pedestrian lights. It is telling pedestrians to walk on green lights.

For the Mayor's office: Can you please consider posting information somewhere besides Facebook? I should not need an account for that platform just to get information. Post it on the City website, or if you want social media, use something more open source like Bluesky. I appreciate the sharing of information, but wish it was in a different platform. Thank you.
