The street parking on N Walnut St, between 11th and 14th, is causing an issue with safe travel. Because there are no painted parking spaces, cars are packed in more tightly than they should be which is also causing many vehicles to encroach into the driving lane because they can’t properly fit.
I teach classes at the John Waldron Arts Center for Ivy Tech. Each class is approximately 3 hours long since it is a studio art class. My student said there is a 2 hour limit on the parking meters on Walnut street which means she needs to leave during class time to move her car to another meter. This has never been an issue before. Why is it now?
There is a gold-colored Chrysler Town & Country mini van (Indiana license plate #VAL694) parked in front of the home at 322 E. 1st St. that is legally abandoned under 15.04.020: "A vehicle left on public property continuously without being moved for three days". https://library.municode.com/in/bloomington/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=TIT15VETR_CH15.04DE_15.04.020ABVE This is at least the third time that this vehicle has been abandoned in the exact same spot along East First Street in the past month.

Meter #7671 (handicapped) at the corner of Kirkwood and Walnut is not giving time for coins and would not accept a card after we inserted $1.25 at about 6:45 pm on Wednesday, Dec. 19. We put a note on the meter since it accepted our money to park. If we receive a ticket, I will appeal based on this report. - Janice and Allan Headley, 812-336-5112.
There’s city employees (with hangtags in their mirrors) parking on a yellow curb in front of the boys and girls club almost every day. They block the view of kids and parents crossing the street.
