Resident called in and stated that at the corner of 2nd and grant streets people park on the yellow curb. He would like more patrols in this area as it make is difficult to see when trying to pull out on to 2nd street as well as when turning from second street on to grant.

Someone in the camper has set up a campsite at the end of Runkles Way. They’ve been there about 10 days.
Numerous junk vehicles at this location that meet the city code description of "abandoned" City code 15.04.020 section 6 - vehicles more than three years old that have not moved for 20 days that are in public view. They are not even registered! 2 of these vehicles are parked on unimproved surfaces - also this property is a junk yard.
There's a white Ford Ranger that's been parked in front of 313 E 12th from 5 days now without moving. I placed a penny on the left rear tire of the vehicle Friday evening and it is still there. City code provides that vehicles left on the street without moving are consider abandoned after 72 hours. I live in 313 and my fiancée and I would like to park where this truck is, but it's effectively taking up two parking spaces. Thank you.
Abandoned car with expired plate parked on the public street Southern Oaks Drive for more than 1 month
Predatory Towing in Bloomington. I have noticed an increase in the amount of tow trucks in and around the downtown area. In particular, Speedy Wrecker Service, has continually towed multiple vehicles in parking meters and then demanded payment be made in cash only. If the city wants people to be invited to spend time downtown they need to create a city ordinances that addresses the cost of towing $100 flat fee and also uses the 24 hour waiting period. What kind of community does Bloomington want to be?
There are two 4-way stop signs on Allendale Drive in Sherwood Oaks Subdivision. Cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles rarely come to a complete stop. A rolling stop is common but what I have noticed is also alarmingly common is vehicles that don’t even slow down. They just blow right through it. SO subdivision is a very popular neighborhood for people walking, jogging and biking. I realize the police are busy with more serious issues but it sure would be nice to occasionally have some traffic enforcement on this matter before someone gets hurt or killed.
There is a grey Toyota 4 runner with tags that expired last October sitting at the corner of grimes and Henderson.
