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.
Hello, I am writing about the gravel paths along the bline. They are very inconsistent on each side, and this limits how my wife with a disability is able to talk up and down the bline. Because it is designed for 2-way taffic, her mobility issue means she hazards the wrong side of the path to get to the very helpful gravel parts. From country club road to 2nd street (i’m unsure of condition further NW, the paths are inconsistenly maintained and at time neither side is very good. I’ve seen many other people that use those paths and believe it is an accessibility issue. We hope they can be restored to how they once were. Many paths are only a few inches wide and not enough and some have over growth from spring, some seem very wide and well maintained but only on one side. Thank you for your consideration to this message. I’m only marking this as a ‘complaint’ rather than ‘suggestion’ because i believe it to be an accessability issue as previously stated.
Please see case #202797. Note comment :"cannot find vehicle or property, need a actual address" by Ms. Cox. Not clear why she has so much trouble with addresses. See attached screenshot of uReport map, and note obvious yellow car on east side of garage. Maybe send someone who is familiar with the town.
There is no farmers market page that is available on Instagram or other social media you have to subscribe to a weekly email and there is no information easily available for each week or even the month on the city website. This needs to be rectified as it is very exclusive to only utilize Facebook. It also does not provide information to more people who are interested or for people who are not from town.
The grass and weeds are to top of fence, as well as large pile of limbs in backyard. This is very unsafe for the children that are living there
Black sedan, IN license plate 743EAL is parked on the west side of Eastside Drive right up to the intersection, blocking visibility and turning safety.
Lawn way overgrown. You can actually drive around the whole Westpointe neighborhood and cite people. There's a lot of do-minimal type people living here with overgrown lawns, composting grass and material in the lawns, etc.
Please finish repairing the north side of the overpass that goes from College to the trail along 3rd. It’s been closed for weeks and I’ve never seen a sign of work going on. The south side of this overpass has steps, so people with mobility issues need to use the north side. Thank you.
Call received to HAND from adjacent property owner. There is also a uReport under address 812 W 3rd that is duplicative. People are living year-round in an RV parked on an unimproved surface at 220 S. Maple Street. They have been there for about 18 months. I previously reported them to H.AN.D. and the city's legal department. There are also 3-5 other cars parked in the small property lot at all times. The man is apparently fixing cars for others. Various articles and garbage bags are often strewn about. Their has been many domestic violence and nuisance reports to the police and fire department during this time.
