Cars blocking sidewalk every morning at 534 S Washington and its immediate neighbor to the south. Have to walk into street when walking son to school. Sick of it. Please ticket them.
536 S Washington. Now.
There is an apparently abandoned vehicle at the intersection of E Ridgeview Dr and E Sunny Slopes Dr. Thanks!
Parking Meter number 7623 has a cloudy screen making it impossible to read.
On west side of N College just south of train bridge (about 12th st), cars parked in bike lane. For what it's worth, there is also still (still!) snow in the bike lane at 14th st - it has mwlted enough that it's now passable, but not clear. Sorry there is no location info...this app is buggy!
IU has made the turn lane in front of the Atwater garage their own personal parking space. They park their trucks there for hours at a time on a routine basis, with no work being done nearby that would justify the need for the trucks to be there. I work in Optometry and start my day later than most, and have to wait until I get past the trucks to get into the turn lane to get into the garage. Does IU not have enough parking for its own vehicles? Nobody else would be allowed to park in a turn lane like this. Photo taken 2/11/19, 10 a.m.
The parking meters around Fountain Square Mall and possibly more of downtown have been full since at least Thursday morning the 7th. Probably sooner because they were all full first thing in the morning on Thursday. Why are the meters not being emptied? I dislike using my credit card for this and some of my clients do not have a card when they come in and they are late trying to find a meter than will accept coins. It has been several days now and this is not acceptable.
I encourage someone to take a look at the state of the Morton Street parking garage's elevator. It's unsightly, in total disrepair, and an embarrassment that poorly represents Bloomington to all the out-of-town visitors who stay at the the Hilton and park in the garage.
Tuesday morning I went downtown. There were a lot of cars parked on the street, possibility due to the closed parking garage. After a few trips around the block, Collage, Kirkwood and 2nd, street, I found an open space. After pulling I found that the meter stated that it was for credit card only. Okay, I got back in the car and went to another open space--same message, credit card only. So, why would you have parking meters that require credit cards only? Rather a costly option for the parking space. Sounds like Bloomington just doesn't "get" parking meters. And, if the meter is a credit card only device, why not paint that device a different color?
