On Walnut Street between 4th St and Kirkwood Ave, there is a handicap parking sign that is laying on the ground in our landscaping. We wanted you all to be aware that it was there if it needed placed anywhere in particular.
about a 10" inch wide hole that's over a foot deep right in the middle of 17th street. I phoned this into 911 10/20/2024, but nothing has been done.
I park on 6th street between Morton and College 5 days out of the week as I work on the square. About 60% of the time the meter will read my card as declined which causes me to move spots or try to find change to fill up the meter. I had to move 3 times on 12/2 because the first meter was blank, I was told to move and when I did that meter declined my card so I moved again and that one took my card. The same issue happened today but I didn’t have a space to move to so I put in what change I had, went into where I work and got 4 more quarters and put those in and then proceeded to do the pay by phone via a guest on the app to add the needed 6.5 hours. My confirmation email told me I had until 7:03pm but the amount paid total should have went until about 8:30pm. With no guarantee of not getting a ticket, my coworker went down and put enough in to go until 8:58pm just to be safe. So a total of almost $16 to park for 8.5 hours. The meters not working properly is a continued issue for me. I have lived in Bloomington my entire life and I’ve worked downtown for 4 years always using metered parking. It wouldn’t be a big deal to me if this didn’t happen to me multiple times a week. I call every so often to inform the city of Bloomington parking about the issues I have and I’m usually told there is no way to prevent getting a ticket even if the order is put in, I just have to contest the ticket with hopes it will be dismissed. It is just frustrating to me because I always pay and I’m more often than not completely inconvenienced or late to work trying to deal with the issues with the meter. It’s just disappointing as a life resident here that has to use that parking every day. I’m hoping this reaches someone that can try to address some of these issues.

Street signs missing fom NW corner of Grant / 11th Street intersection.
The stone house on the NW corner of Dixie and Fairview had a lot of tree work done, weeks ago. Thet left a lot of the limbs in the unimproved alleyway behind the house and down the alley. It needs to go before more snow flies.
A drain grate is missing at the corner of the parking lot across from Courtyard Suites by Marriott on S College. I believe this missing cover is on Monroe County property. In any case it drains to either a tributary to Clear Creek or Clear Creek itself. The creek is buried under S College, the Marriott Parking lot and a cement pad running the length of the house to the south. I have a wider view shot better showing the location but uReport will only let me upload a single photo so I have uploaded a close up of the missing grate. It's been like this for several weeks and I am just today remembering to upload the photo I took.
