The ‘no parking’ zones were recently repainted for street parking off 8th and Indiana. It seems that the no parking designated zone was extended 3-5 feet. Was there a reason for this? Now, there is even more limited street parking, and it’s going to be a warzone when the rest of the students move in come August.

I received a notice in the mail of an overdue parking citation. It had been issued on 6/20/24 and the notice said that I had failed to pay it within 14 days, so the fine was now doubled. However, I never saw the parking ticket on my car, and I never received any other notice that I had received a ticket. I do not think that this is a fair system, as parking tickets left on cars can be tampered with by other people. I have paid this parking ticket, but I'd like you to look into this policy and consider changing it so that there is some way to ensure that the person receiving a ticket actually sees it in time to pay it before it is doubled.

My report on parking ticket processes was closed but not resolved. My request was to look into the PROCESS not get the same information that I got before (photo of ticket on my car).

This is a heads up that the parking app that the City Of Bloomington uses isn’t working, at least for me. I don’t know if other users are having this problem, but it won’t sign me in. I have an existing account, and it says it will send you an email, but it never does. I’ve checked my spam folder. I tried this Thursday, and today (Friday) and still no email from either time. I’m using quarters now but I think it’s worth harassing the company.

I park on 6th street between Morton and College 5 days out of the week as I work on the square. About 60% of the time the meter will read my card as declined which causes me to move spots or try to find change to fill up the meter. I had to move 3 times on 12/2 because the first meter was blank, I was told to move and when I did that meter declined my card so I moved again and that one took my card. The same issue happened today but I didn’t have a space to move to so I put in what change I had, went into where I work and got 4 more quarters and put those in and then proceeded to do the pay by phone via a guest on the app to add the needed 6.5 hours. My confirmation email told me I had until 7:03pm but the amount paid total should have went until about 8:30pm. With no guarantee of not getting a ticket, my coworker went down and put enough in to go until 8:58pm just to be safe. So a total of almost $16 to park for 8.5 hours. The meters not working properly is a continued issue for me. I have lived in Bloomington my entire life and I’ve worked downtown for 4 years always using metered parking. It wouldn’t be a big deal to me if this didn’t happen to me multiple times a week. I call every so often to inform the city of Bloomington parking about the issues I have and I’m usually told there is no way to prevent getting a ticket even if the order is put in, I just have to contest the ticket with hopes it will be dismissed. It is just frustrating to me because I always pay and I’m more often than not completely inconvenienced or late to work trying to deal with the issues with the meter. It’s just disappointing as a life resident here that has to use that parking every day. I’m hoping this reaches someone that can try to address some of these issues.

I received a call, phone number 216-337-3255, no name. From what I could understand, there is illegal parking happening on a street that only has parking on one side. The location is Woodburn between Kenwood Drive and 17th as well as on Kinser Pike/Rogers between Kenwood Drive and 17th.
