The street between Stone Belt Milestones and MCCSC the Academy has multiple cars parked incorrectly.
What am I misunderstanding here? This is the violation (I believe) that parking enforcement is unable to find repeatedly. Is parking this far out into the street this close to an intersection allowed? If you check, I think you'll find the public right of way cuts basically due West from here landing about mid way along the car. I'm pretty sure this 'space' isn't legal and shouldn't exist; I suspect it's too wide for code and it has to be too close to the intersection. This car has been parked exactly like this since at least 6am (I assume overnight, maybe yesterday). The three cars at this address take turns parking in this spot like this most days. I'm reminded of this past May when there was a car parked on the front lawn of 506 E Wylie (basically across the street from here) and Parking Enforcement kept saying they couldn't see it.
Either this car re-appeared after you sent someone an hour ago, they somehow couldn't find it or they don't consider it a violation. If it's the latter, please mention that in the follow up.

Car parked well out in the street (on a blind turn, probably illegally close to the corner, etc). I had hoped this was dealt with, as they seemed to be avoiding being in the improved street a day or two ago, but this morning at 6am it was as bad as ever.
Abandoned car has been parked on Jackson st just south of 4th street. The car has been there over 14 days. Silver Toyota Camry.
Car parked in the intersection.
Cars sticking out way out into the right of way, cars parked too close to the intersection(?). Something really needs to be done about this. Technically I believe a large portion of that 'driveway' is in the right of way.

I respectfully request a dismissal of citation #26204900517. I paid for 1 hour and 10 minutes of parking at 11:48 AM. My paid time was valid until 12:58 PM. However, the citation was issued at 11:56 AM, only eight minutes after I arrived and well before my paid time expired. This clearly indicates that the meter did not register the coins correctly. I kindly request verification of the meter’s transaction records for space 609B, as well as any available camera footage for that area, which will confirm that I paid for my parking time. I also have a disability parking placard. Although Bloomington requires payment at metered spaces, I always pay to comply with the rules. In this case, I paid correctly and still received a citation while my paid time was active. For these reasons, I respectfully request that this citation be reviewed and Thank you for your attention.
