Parking Meters and Citations
- Case Date:
- 9/18/2018
Today, I parked on Walnut St, just outside Fountain Square. I initially got $8 in quarters nickels and dimes to feed the meter. At 9:45am, I put $6 of quarters, nickels, and dimes in the meter (which should have made my time expire at 3:45pm). This only gave me time until 12:03pm. I then went back up at 11:45am with my remaining $2 and put the 8 quarters in - which added 30 minutes to my parking time - at $1 per hour, this is incorrect. I then decided that the parking meter was not capable of taking change, so I got my debit card out and paid for the remaining part of the day - to take me to 5:17pm (really wanted 5:30pm, but was sick of fighting with the meter). At this point - I think that the amount I have paid for 7.5 hours is $12.30 (obviously the $0.30 is because I used my card - EVEN though I had change). The amount I should have had to pay for 7.5 hours is $7.50. Even if you give me a refund, I REALLY just want the meter fixed. I will take a picture of the meter before I leave tonight so you are able to determine which meter is malfunctioning. Please feel free to contact me at the email and phone number listed.

The street lights in the middle of the block in between 6th, 7th, Lincoln and Grant Streets do not stay on all night. This makes the alley ways that cut through the middle of this block too dark at night and it feels very unsafe for pedestrians walking through. I live on this block and have spoken to residents from three of the other houses on it and we all agree that the lights should remain on throughout the night to promote pedestrian safety. Keeping these lights on throughout the night will also prevent thieves from feeling tempted to break into our cars that all sit in the middle of the pitch black block during the night. I have provided a picture of one of the main lights that needs fixed, but there are at least two others on the block that have the same problem. We would all appreciate action being taken on these street lights as soon as possible.Thank you for your time.

At https://bloomington.in.gov/interactive/maps/parkingmap
the map shows either Residential Parking or Other Permit Required (can't tell which as the symbols are identical) on one block South and one block East of the intersection E. Smith Ave. and S. Dunn St. I don't believe this is accurate. I have not seen signs posted in this area and there are not adjoining residences. They are also not in a Zone.

This is at a Bus Stop near the corner of S Walnut St and E Winslow Rd. It is between a Marathon gas station and the El Ranchero restaurant.The Bus Stop sign was relocated a few feet away. The old sign was remove by breaking it off leaving a short sharp metal stub. This is very dangerous for bicycles riding the sidewalk as it makes a right-angle turn at this location. THIS SHARP METAL STUB SHOULD BE REMOVED.

I would like to request a sidewalk ramp / crossing be installed at the SE corner of Walnut St Pike and Winslow. It looks like there has previously been an accident there and now there is a concrete barricade and guard rail preventing the pedestrians from crossing. So either the pedestrian has to make a somewhat dangerous crossing there, or cross three extra times to go around and back. Thank you!
