City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Submission Received #205409

Blocked Street:

Other: Because of all the new construction in the area, there are a *huge* number of cars now vying for the limited spaces. The result is that people are parking in places they shouldn't, and backyards have become parking lots. This location is only one example. On the alley south of the house, over the weekend there was a Lexus with Illinois plates (AC7_2559) parked in the alley, blocking it. At other times (including this morning) another vehicle was parked in the same location (dark red Hyundai Santa Fe, photo attached). This problem will only get worse if Planning continues to allow developers to increase density in this area. There are already *NO* parking spots available on the streets. None. Zilch. It is no wonder people are parking in the alleys.

Parking enforcement has been monitoring the area for unapproved yard parking and other parking issues and will continue to do so. Regarding the broader comment about the nature of redevelopment and the density of development in the area, private property owners are pursing development in this area and other areas in the city in accordance with the regulations established in the City of Bloomington Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), which is Title 20 of Bloomington Municipal Code. Municipal code is enacted by City Council and the Mayor. New development is providing the amount of off-street on-site parking that is required by the UDO, and existing development is continuing to provide the amount of on-site parking that was lawfully established when the site was previously developed. We take your comment that the current minimum parking requirements are not adequate in this area in your opinion, and we will take the comment into consideration when City Council and the Mayor consider future amendments to the UDO.

Good Morning! Can parking services enforcement staff take a look at this area and see if there are any ongoing violations that can be addressed? (i.e. blocking alleyway, etc.) This may be an area that needs monitored on the weekend with new residents having moved in.
