I am writing to urge you to extend the amount of time between the issuance of a parking ticket and the date on which the price of that ticket doubles. I realize I am lucky to have a secure job associated with a decent wage that allows me to occasionally absorb the cost of a parking ticket, for those rare times when I accidentally exceed my expected amount of time downtown. However, it was not so long ago, when I was a graduate student, that I truly lived paycheck-to-paycheck, and had a lot of difficulty making it through the second half of the month. A $20 parking ticket which doubles in price within 10 days would have been a very difficult expense to manage. And it should be recognized that even those of us who diligently pay our meters occasionally run into difficulties that cause us to run over. At the same time, we often overpay for the meter ($$ for which we are never reimbursed). In any event, a parking ticket that doubles in price within 10 days puts an undue burden on those residents of Bloomington who are in a challenging financial situation. I suggest you extend the remission time to 30 days to allow your city's residents to better manage their household budgets. Regards, Dr. Kim Novick 904 E 14th Street Bloomington, IN 47408

I paid my son's 40.00 parking ticket #I1200280 on line May 9, 2012. Your website said that it did not go through. So I tried it again, and it said there was a problem with the credit card. I tried it one more time and it went through. Well... I received three receipts saying it was paid. Ref. #1 = 10.174.5.142-1372DBC7397-70EF2644-3DD4FC3E Ref. #2 = 10.174.5.142-1372DA975E1-4455AA88-796A35A7 Ref. #3 = 10.174.5.142-1372DA49A86-7BD90C64-518A26FB Two of the three receipts have shown up on my credit card. So now I have paid 80.00 for a 40.00 ticket. Please check into this error and make the necessary changes as soon as possible. I hope that the 3rd receipt does not show up on my credit card. You may also want to look into your website and figure out WHY this happened. I will be looking for a credit to my account and would appreciate an acknowledgement to this issue. Sincerely Karen M. Staats

Fourth street parking garage. Friday, October 29, 10:50pm, leaving the parking garage took 20 minutes!!! Only one out lane open - ridiculous!!! Had to pay an extra $0.50 for waiting in line to get out. Should have been 2 out lanes open. Please correct for future!!!!

I was walking into City Hall and a citizen informed me that there was an issue with all the meters on the South Side of W. 8th Street. I am not sure if this is true or not. He said he could not get his coins to work.

Parking Enforcement officer #303, Gary Rutherford, lied about having spoken with me in any capacity after having written me a ticket. County Clerk RayeAnn Cox also illegally refused me my legal right to know my accusing officers name for no reason, and refused to allow me to legally and officially file a complaint against her officer. She could not give me a reason that she refused me my legal right, and waited a full 24 hours with no explanation and no legal justification. They should both be reported and investigated for how they handle and abuse their power, as well as reviewed for termination for not legally serving the public by which they've been given this power.

Hello, my name is Alex Brown and my car keys were stolen from the SRSC last Friday. I am in the process of getting a new car key to replace the one that was stolen but I am concerned that my car might be ticketed or towed in the time that it takes for me to find a replacement key in order to move it. I am unaware of your policies when it comes to issues like this but my car is a Black Chevy equinox with the license plate number WE9196. I understand if there is nothing you can do for me in this situation but I would appreciate any leniency you can give my as far as my car being ticketed or towed under this unfortunate circumstance.

I just submitted Service Request ID: 178175 and realized that I may have forgotten to add that my car is parked on 10th street near the tennis courts right after the intersection of 10th and N Jordan.

This parking meter takes quarters but does not credit you. I’m out a game of pinball.
