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.

There is one parking space available for the public in a 9+ square block area. It is marked 15 minutes. There has been a truck parked in this spot every day all day long all week long. I am not sure who it is or why you are ignoring the rules but if you have decided this person can park anywhere they want or they paid a fee to do so, why don’t you let them park in any of the hundreds if permit-required zoned spots in the area. The other 9999 of us will share this single 15 minute parking space. Who is this and what did they pay to get this free parking pass?

Please consider measures to prevent this area from being overwhelmed by excessive parking on our street. As many as 20 cars are parking here on a given day. Thank you!

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?

Parking lot changes have removed vehicle ability to go through side of western most parking area. Vehicles cannot turn around, and the parking lot striping is too short that vehicles now all exceed the length of the striped areas/spots. The parking space number has also now been increased on the western most covered area.

I have a quick question- On 13th St., between Fairview and Jackson, we have gravel shoulders between the paved street and the sidewalks, that are getting pretty worn down/muddy. Is it the Street Dept. responsibility to keep those maintained with fresh gravel, or the homeowner's responsibility? I'd love to have them turned back into treeplots, but I feel like that's a whole different discussion... Any info would be appreciated! Thank you!
