The only accessible parking spot is diagonal and tucked into a corner, leaving the blue lined area for wheelchair ramp deployment much smaller and awkwardly shaped than usual. Also, there's a 15 minute time limit on the spot, despite it being the only accessible spot in the lot. I'm not sure how someone could deploy a wheelchair ramp, exit their vehicle, and turn their wheelchair while parked in this spot if the adjacent parking spots are occupied. I could be completely wrong about this, but I thought that accessible spots were supposed to have an extra 2 hours on top of any time constraints on the non-accessible spots in the same lot. The other spots in this same lot all have a 15 minute limit, so shouldn't this spot have a 2 hour and 15 minute limit? It seems really limiting to only have one accessible parking spot in the lot and have it be an extremely tight fit and restrict it to only 15 minutes. This parking spot is for a coffeeshop where college students regularly work on their laptops - if someone needs to use the accessible parking spot, doesn't the 15 minute limit prevent them from being able to work or study in this coffeeshop like others get to do?

2 'abandoned' vehicles: Red Ford truck and white Ford SUV. These vehicles have been there for weeks now, have not moved an inch. Residents at nearby houses are starting to complain that their guests cannot find a parking place because these 2 vehicles are parked there permanently. Especially the Red truck has been there a multiple of 3 days without having moved. City Ordinance 15.04.020 states that this means the vehicles are considered 'abandoned'. The owner at 612 Eastside Drive either needs to park these vehicles somewhere else where they can sit for weeks and months on end, or be made aware that he needs to move them every 3 days, so as not to be in violation of the City Ordinance. The Parking Officer drives by several times a day, so it should not be too hard to see that these vehicles just sit there and sit there.

There is no category for my issue, so I chose miscellaneous. Parking complaint. Mechanically inoperable vehicle without license plate has been sitting on the driveway at 717 S Eastside Drive for at least a year. Grey sedan, 4-doors, parked next to the garage door. Because this vehicle takes up a parking space on the driveway, one other tenant has to park in front of the house. That often means they are right across from our driveway. Sometimes we hardly can get out.

This is not a complaint about parking meters or a citation, but I could not find another category that fits my complaint. Referring to closed case #201015. Reason for closing this case is given as: 'vehicle is located on private property'. See attached text of the Bloomington City Ordinance, 15.04.020 6). It seems that the grey Dodge without a license plate, parked next to the garage door in the driveway at 717 S Eastside Drive makes a prefect fit. One of the tenants at 717 S Eastside Drive has confirmed that the vehicle is inoperable. Whether it is older than 3 years will need to be determined. The vehicle is visible from the street and has been there for at least 1 year. HAND thinks that this is Parking Enforcement's turf, Parking Enforcement refers me to HAND. This car takes up one parking space in the driveway, resulting in one other tenant having to park their vehicle in the street, oftentimes right across from 704 S Eastside Drive. Especially after snowfall, it is very hard to maneuver out of 704's driveway with a car parked right in front of it.

Someone regularly parks a relatively new Hyundai Elantra on the sidewalk here, blocking the sidewalk. There is plenty of driveway and on-street parking. No idea why they feel the need to do this, but it forces pedestrians to either cross the street or walk in the grass. I think they should stop parking on the sidewalk because the sidewalk is not for cars. Thanks!
