Incident Report – Improper Towing of Vehicle Date of Tow: February 25, 2024 Location: 429 S Walnut St, Bloomington, IN Incident Description On February 25, 2024, my vehicle was towed from 429 S Walnut St, Bloomington, IN, without my consent. The towing company did not obtain my explicit authorization before removing my vehicle, making this a non-consensual tow in potential violation of Bloomington Municipal Code Chapter 4.32 (Non-Consensual Towing Businesses). At the time of the tow, my vehicle was properly registered with the apartment complex’s parking system. My license plate was on file as having a valid parking permit, but I had not been issued a physical parking sticker by management, which was outside of my control. Despite my valid registration, my vehicle was still towed, suggesting improper enforcement of parking regulations. Additionally, maintenance personnel were occupying my assigned parking spot the last time I drove. This forced me to park elsewhere in the lot, which may have contributed to the towing error. Signage Review The posted signage did include the following legal requirements: A clear statement that unauthorized vehicles would be towed. The name and contact information of the towing company. Information on where towed vehicles could be retrieved. A schedule of towing and storage fees. However, the signage also stated that parking was reserved for residents of Kirkwood Management, which I was not at the time, even though my vehicle was registered with the complex and I had been assigned a parking spot. Violation of Ordinances Lack of Consent (BMC § 4.32.100(a)) The tow was conducted without my authorization. Bloomington Municipal Code 4.32.100(a) states that it is unlawful to tow a vehicle from a parking lot unless the parking lot owner or an authorized agent, present at the time of the tow, signs a written authorization for that specific vehicle. If this requirement was not met, the tow was unlawful. Valid Parking Permit Not Honored My vehicle was registered with the complex’s parking system, but I had not received a sticker from management. Since my plate was on file as having a valid permit, my vehicle should not have been subject to towing. This indicates an error in enforcement, either by the property management or the towing company, leading to an unjustified tow. Claim & Request for Action Given that my vehicle was towed despite being properly registered and that the signage at the location failed to recognize my valid permit, I formally request the following: A full refund of all towing and storage fees incurred. Confirmation that my valid parking permit is properly recognized moving forward to prevent future incidents.

There are a couple of very deep holes on the large hill on the north end of the large dog area of the Switchyard dog park. I was not there to see this happen, but a gentleman I was just speaking with there said that he saw a dog get very injured when its leg was caught while running. They should be filled to prevent any further injuries. Thank you!

It’s been 2 1/2 weeks since the last snow fell. And yet I’m still having to slip and slide over the icy sidewalk in front of this rental house and driveway. Why hasn’t this landlord cleared this safety issue in the many warm days? Please address this. Their shrubs come out into the sidewalk which make it challenging to navigate along the west side of sidewalk. Can this be addressed?

Pot hole is not the right word. Hatchback-swallowing sinkhole, I'm assuming leftover from last week's water main break in the same area. Extremely large, 6-8 inches deep in places. Needs filled ASAP as it is a significant safety hazard.

Additional request for street light. There have been multiple times where BPD has responded to fights and medical related issues at neighboring properties. At least 2x/month I am woken up late in the night by someone trying to open doors or windows. Last night someone slept on my closed-in front porch. Neighbors are also in support of a street light and have asked me to file this on their behalf as well. uR#199547 was most recent filed that I am aware of.
