I had my car predatorily towed by Tow Time Towing and Recovery on 22 May, I believe in the afternoon. I woke up this morning needing to get to work, and my vehicle was gone. I panicked and assumed it had been stolen only to find it had been towed due to failure to display a parking permit – despite the fact that the parking lot was nearly completely empty, and I was not obstructing any parking. Additionally, I was parked in my parking place, but after driving, I forgot to return my parking pass to the mirror. The pass was removed because it obstructs my view while driving. I have seen that the cap cost in Bloomington for towing is $135 and yet Tow Time has insisted I owe them $170 for the tow. After explaining the situation they said there was nothing to be done. I have since not been able to get to work due to my vehicle being gone so unexpectedly and will have to walk over two miles to the impound lot to pay to retrieve my predatorily impounded vehicle. There were no warnings I was in violation, and this has caused a considerable disruption to my work schedule and put a very significant financial strain on me given the unexpected and, in my opinion, excessive nature of the fine for what was not an illegal action and was little more than a small error in forgetting to re-display my parking pass. I would appreciate any assistance in this moving forward, and I hope by filing this, I can assist in the prevention of predatory impounding like this moving forward.
There is a LOT of items in this yard. Items include a full sized refrigerator, a mini fridge, a window AC unit, a shopping cart full of junk, an RV that is full of junk without a door (it has been used for storage for YEARS!). Plus, many, many other things! I last reported this in early April 2025 and it is near the end of May and NOTHING has been done, yet the ticket for that says resolved. DOES THIS LOOK RESOLVED TO YOU? This is well within the city limits and as such it is the City of Bloomington's responsibility to ensure that this property gets cleaned up!
Stated location is approximate. Trees or invasive bushes encroaching into street along Eastgate.
Disgusting neglect
Very large potholes along Williamsburg Dr, in between E Longview Ave and the south side of Aldi
Two sets of wires that are loose and not connected to anything. They are hanging on two parts of the fence in the back alley behind 15th Street behind 315 and 319. If they can be taken down that would be appreciated.
The only street light here has been out for a while. It is very very dark on this street at night. Hard to see anything without using a flashlight and there is night time foot traffic and I and my neighbors would feel more comfortable going outside at night if the light was operating properly.
Massive potholes
The stop sign at John Hinkle & Pete Ellis has been hit. It is on the ground broken.
