Jennifer works at Wonderlab and said she's tried to report several times this week that the parking meters in front of Wonderlab (on 4th St. between Madison and College, minimally) have been blacked out. It looks to her like someone has taken a Sharpie and completely drawn over the meters' LED panels. She's received many questions from Wonderlab patrons about the meters and whether they're functioning.
Caller reported parking meter #7631, on 7th Street near Walnut, is eating coins. She was able to put in 1 hour's worth of time but then coins weren't registering time on the meter after 1 hour.
Semi driver who delivers to Auto Zone (2437 W. 3rd St.) complained that side street between Auto Zone and JD Byrider is blocked with parked cars on both sides of the street, blocking fire hydrants as well. He can't easily approach the Auto Zone back entrance with his truck and JD Byrider has refused to move parked cars. Is S. Opportunity Lane a city street?

Received a call today about a parking issue on 15th Street between Jackson and Madison. Caller says a new house has been built on that street and the homeowner parks a black truck in front of the home...reducing the narrow street to only one lane. He believes the homeowner is parking legally, but is concerned that it may be a safety issue during bad weather.
