I am writing to complain about being towed from Bedrak Cafe parking lot at 8:30p by Tow Time and being charged $215. This is an extortion rate. The Bedrak Cafe has signs posted but you cannot see them when it is dark. They are tiny and dark in color. We were not given warning that we would be towed and then to be charged such an exorbitant amount is unreasonable. My fiance met me and we had 2 other friends that parked there. We were gone from our cars less than 20 minutes and 3 of the 4 cars were gone and the 4th one was in the process of being towed. The towing company has to be lying in wait for anyone to park there and then stealing your car and charging you this astronomical price. He then basically threatened us stating if we did not pay him immediately that it would cost us $20-40 more and that we would have to make an appointment to get the cars back at their convenience. This is extortion, we felt intimidated, and backed into a corner. Then on top of this he tells us that he has a contract with the owner of Bedrak Cafe to keep the lot cleaned out of all cars except when they are open. So how much of a kick back is Bedrak getting from Tow Time. And where is Tow Time located. I could not find a Bloomington address for Tow Time. What is the city regulations on parking and fees for being towed? This makes the city of Bloomington look very bad. No one will want to go down town if you cannot park in a lot where the business is closed. This is outrageous!

water is draining on Bloomfield Road near the Sportsplex light.This creates ice as it did last week. I notified the ciry of this a YEAR AGO and NOTHING has been done.This is a bad drainage problem, water flows onto the street and flows down the hill, going west. All of this water is freezing - near the traffic light and further westbound as it trickles down the hill. When I called a year ago nad reported this, the public works person said she had no idea to whom to give this information. Clearly, she gave it to NO ONE.

A neighbor on our street has not put his trash cans up after weekly pick up since the project began. City ordinance says the trash cans must be removed from the street side within 24 hours of pick up. Can someone in sanitation check up on this? The address is 1640 E Maplecrest Dr. Thank you.

Every time there is an IU sporting event or the neighboring students have a party, people park on both sides of our narrow street and block us in. Is there anyway to put “No parking” signs on the south side of the street (Martha St.)?

Light at S College Mall Road and 2nd creates very bad backups as clogs E 3rd and S College Mall left turn folks southbound from E 3rd. Watch during evening rushhour. Jams reliably stopping Eastbound East 3rd street from crossing S. College. Problem is not with that light but with City light at E 2nd and College creating jam on S College Mall between 2nd and 3rd. Somehow more traffic needs to get through Southbound on E 2nd during left turn Cycle for southbound left turners on E 3rd.
