I started using the parking app about 3 months ago and in those 3 months I have gotten two parking tickets. They are were both dismissed but that is not the point. It takes time to appeal the ticket and it's just a nuisance. I thought that the parking enforcement officer is required to check that an app is not being used and not just base it on the light flashing red. It makes it not worth it to use the app if every 1 time out of 20 I park I get a ticket. I thought it was something you should know so the issue can be looked into.

The green OK button on this meter is unresponsive, which means you cannot proceed with debit or credit purchases.

I parked downtown this past weekend to dine out with a good friend - the meter would not take my card at first, then it did, but wouldn't let me remove it (I though I'd have to leave it!). My friend did manage to wrestle it out of the meter, but we had to find coins to pay the meter - THEN - it only registered about half of the coins we inserted, so we lost $ parking so that we might support our local restaurants. Meter #76118 on the south side of the courthouse in front of Fountain Square. I suspect this is not the only defective meter? Might be time for tuneups?

We parked in parkikng zone 7653 yesterday (Aug. 29) from 3:20-4:20 pm. We tried to put in a $1 coin, but the machine didn't take, so we used quarters instead. The quarters worked, so we tried the $1 coin again, but the machine ate it again. Is there any way we can get our $2 back? I tried calling the office and they transferred me to the person who could issue a credit back, but no one answered the call and the voicemail hadn't been set up yet, so I couldn't leave a message. I appreciate your help.

Today, I parked on Walnut St, just outside Fountain Square. I initially got $8 in quarters nickels and dimes to feed the meter. At 9:45am, I put $6 of quarters, nickels, and dimes in the meter (which should have made my time expire at 3:45pm). This only gave me time until 12:03pm. I then went back up at 11:45am with my remaining $2 and put the 8 quarters in - which added 30 minutes to my parking time - at $1 per hour, this is incorrect. I then decided that the parking meter was not capable of taking change, so I got my debit card out and paid for the remaining part of the day - to take me to 5:17pm (really wanted 5:30pm, but was sick of fighting with the meter). At this point - I think that the amount I have paid for 7.5 hours is $12.30 (obviously the $0.30 is because I used my card - EVEN though I had change). The amount I should have had to pay for 7.5 hours is $7.50. Even if you give me a refund, I REALLY just want the meter fixed. I will take a picture of the meter before I leave tonight so you are able to determine which meter is malfunctioning. Please feel free to contact me at the email and phone number listed.

Recently I have had numerous experiences in which the parking meter took my coins but did not apply time. Today it was parking meter 76130 on 6th st. I put $1.05 in quarters and dimes. I got 31 minutes on the meter. This has happened at meters near the library and on the square. I am not concerned so much about the amount of money I am putting in the meter but that I may run out of time because I don't have enough change even though I have filled the meter. When are the meters maintained? how does one complain in the moment?

Driving home on I-69, I foolishly decided to stop in Bloomington for s bite to eat. I parked on Kirkwood where another car was parked. I parked at a meter that was not posted "No Parking". I went into a pizza place, ordered, and came back to my car withing 5 mins. I was sitting in the car when a policeman approached. He was very rude, informing me it was a No Parking Zone. It appears I did not see the sign, as it was on the ground, and I should have been looking on the ground before parking. I made it very clear that I was just there for a moment, but still got a ticket. A ticket that had to be paid within a week or it doubled. That's quite a racket you have going there. I learned a very valuable lesson though. Bloomington is not a welcoming town for visitors who don't know the rules. I will not be stopping in Bloomington on any future trips on I-69.
