The 4th street parking garage was completely full and there was no sign to tell us not to go in along with 10 other cars. People were trying to back out of the garage and turning around was next to impossible. You need to close the garage if it is full. Very unsafe conditions trying to get out of the garage when cars are still coming in not knowing it is full.

Not really a problem, but maybe an improvement to a situation. I remember, while visiting Rehobooth, Va. That the parking meters had an available app. that I loaded on to my I phone. I was able to pay my parking meter via a credit card I had registered with a third party through my iPhone. The program even sent me a txt message when the meter timer was running low and asked if I wished to continue billing my credit card. I think Bloomington would benefit by this next step. Thank you.

Seriously City of Bloomington ? You've put in meters and on top of 25cents an hour and parking ticket REVENUE, you are also requiring the user / city resident / visitor to pay YOUR credit card transaction fee. Really ? Please name me one downtown merchant that requires the customer to pay this fee. Ridiculous. I will be shopping / eating / recreating elsewhere. Not downtown Bloomington. Good luck to you and your soon to be very irate merchants / downtown business owners.
Apologies for submitting this in the "permit" category but there is nothing for "meters". We were parking at 6th and Walnut for lunch. I put a dollar coin in the meter and it just ate it. I had seen a sticker on another meter that showed quarters and dollar coins as acceptable. Apparently not. We then put quarters in. We wanted to pay for an hour, but after 3 quarters it stopped adding time. It ate two more quarters after that.
Same problem as before (sorry it was 6th and College, not Walnut). I just tried to put more money in and it ate it without adding time.
Only gave credit for one of the coin input in
Scooter frequently parks and blocks large portion of this sidewalk, north side of Bicycle Apartments
The two parking meters on the corner of 6th and Dunn are blacked out and you can't see them at night.
This meter is jammed. (No ticket issued)
