Parking Meters and Citations:

Other: MONDAY, MAY 18, IT IS POURING RAIN. THERE IS A HANDICAP PARKING SPACE AT THE CORNER OF KIRKWOOD AND WASHINGTON. THE STREET AND THE SIDEWALK ARE FLOODED. THERE IS NO PARKING METER. INSTEAD THERE IS A HARD-TO-READ SIGN ON A POST, DETAILING HOW TO PAY FOR SAID PARKING SPACE. REALLY? HOW IS A HANDICAPPED PERSON EXPECTED TO EXIT A VEHICLE IN POURING RAIN, NAVIGATE A FLOODED STREET AND SIDEWALK, HOLD AN UMBRELLA IN ONE HAND, AND SIMULTANEOUSLY INPUT THE REQUIRED INFORMATION INTO THEIR PHONE? SERIOUSLY? IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH EASIER AND SAFER TO USE A PARKING METER. HOW ABOUT INSTALLING A PARKING METER SO HANDICAP FOLKS GOING TO THE BUSKIRK-CHUMLEY THEATRE AREN'T RISKING LIFE AND LIMB JUST SO THE CITY CAN GET A COUPLE OF MORE BUCKS? BETTER YET, WHY NOT MAKE THE HANDICAPPED PARKING SPACES FREE??? I WELCOME A RESPONSE. OF ANY KIND. SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. POSSIBLE? THANKS. WILLY LEDÓN

Mr. Ledon, First, I would like to apologize for the unfortunate experience at one of the City’s ADA parking spaces. Parking Services is currently in the process of having the missing post and meter re-installed at the space. The delay is due to the required 811 utility locate that must be completed before the sidewalk can be drilled to create a new hole for the post. At this time, the 811 company is experiencing significant delays in processing locate requests for various projects. As soon as the locate has been completed, the post and meter will be re-installed. Regarding your additional ADA concerns, you are welcome to contact Michael Shermis with the City of Bloomington. Mr. Shermis is actively involved with the City’s ADA program and may be able to address some of your concerns directly or suggest additional City ADA forums where you can share your concerns regarding accessibility and City parking ordinances related to meter charges. Michael Shermis Email: [email protected] Office Phone: 812-349-3471 Thank you for your patience and understanding.
