Traffic Related Complaints
- Case Date:
- 9/30/2013
This message is not really a Traffic-Related Complaint, but a request for additional street signage. We live at 2750 E. Buttonwood Lane (south-west corner of intersection of S. Sare Road and E. Buttonwood Lane), at the start of the construction of the Sare/Rogers roundabout project. Since the construction was completed, we have noticed a very substantial increase in the number of vehicles turning around in our driveway. There used to be several each week (that we knew of when we happened to see them), but now there are sometimes half dozen or more vehicles every day that use our driveway to turn around. At times, we are even standing in the driveway. Because the yellow sign indicating there is no outlet is so far from Sare Road (It

Parking Meters and Citations

I'm not trying to appeal a ticket, but I do have a question. I received a parking ticket today because I did not properly use the meter which I should have. That was my fault, I admit. However, I took a quick look at the meter, and for some reason, it said "expires at 1:30 pm" or something like that. Do previous cars' allotted times continue even when the next person parks, and does the next person parking need to somehow stop the time and then start another session, or something like that? Just curious.
Secondly, as I wrote in a comment that I realize was directed to the "other" and "public works" section of this site rather than parking, I would like to apologize again for a nasty, profane complaint letter that I included in the envelope I used to pay my parking ticket. I wrote the letter essentially in the heat of the moment, and did not mean anything I wrote at all. You may not have received the envelope yet, but it was poorly written, so please disregard it. I have a much higher view of the city than what the letter indicates and take full responsibility for today's parking situation.

I am writing to sincerely apologize to the parking department for a nasty letter I included in the envelope I used to pay my parking ticket. I wrote the letter very angry over the ticket but have come to realize that the violation was strictly my fault and that there is no reason to be so angry over a twenty dollar parking ticket anyway. In contrast to what I angrily wrote on the letter, I LOVE the city of Bloomington and have been honored to study in this great college town for the last three years, and there is no doubt I will come back many times after I graduate this December. I don't know if you have received my parking ticket check and nasty letter, but please disregard the letter itself as none of what I wrote is really my opinion. Again, I sincerely apologize.

Good Morning,
When playing near the baseball diamond behind the Bryan Park pool, we
noticed these rods sticking out of the concrete behind the snackbar
area of the pool.
It would be nice if they could be covered in some way, or at least
bolted so there is not as big of a risk for impalement or other
serious injury if someone tripped, especially for young children.
We appreciate your attention to this.
thank you,
