Street Snow Removal

2114 South Locust Court

Case Date:

Snow plows pushed the snow out of the cul-de-sac and basically in front of my house specifically, my mailbox is now blocked. The mail trucks will no longer deliver mail to my house because of the snow. It’s basically an icy snow situation that I cannot handle myself so I am no longer receiving any mail service. Well I appreciate the snow plows, I do not appreciate that. It’s not allowing me to get mail any longer.

Incident Report – Improper Towing of Vehicle Date of Tow: February 25, 2024 Location: 429 S Walnut St, Bloomington, IN Incident Description On February 25, 2024, my vehicle was towed from 429 S Walnut St, Bloomington, IN, without my consent. The towing company did not obtain my explicit authorization before removing my vehicle, making this a non-consensual tow in potential violation of Bloomington Municipal Code Chapter 4.32 (Non-Consensual Towing Businesses). At the time of the tow, my vehicle was properly registered with the apartment complex’s parking system. My license plate was on file as having a valid parking permit, but I had not been issued a physical parking sticker by management, which was outside of my control. Despite my valid registration, my vehicle was still towed, suggesting improper enforcement of parking regulations. Additionally, maintenance personnel were occupying my assigned parking spot the last time I drove. This forced me to park elsewhere in the lot, which may have contributed to the towing error. Signage Review The posted signage did include the following legal requirements: A clear statement that unauthorized vehicles would be towed. The name and contact information of the towing company. Information on where towed vehicles could be retrieved. A schedule of towing and storage fees. However, the signage also stated that parking was reserved for residents of Kirkwood Management, which I was not at the time, even though my vehicle was registered with the complex and I had been assigned a parking spot. Violation of Ordinances Lack of Consent (BMC § 4.32.100(a)) The tow was conducted without my authorization. Bloomington Municipal Code 4.32.100(a) states that it is unlawful to tow a vehicle from a parking lot unless the parking lot owner or an authorized agent, present at the time of the tow, signs a written authorization for that specific vehicle. If this requirement was not met, the tow was unlawful. Valid Parking Permit Not Honored My vehicle was registered with the complex’s parking system, but I had not received a sticker from management. Since my plate was on file as having a valid permit, my vehicle should not have been subject to towing. This indicates an error in enforcement, either by the property management or the towing company, leading to an unjustified tow. Claim & Request for Action Given that my vehicle was towed despite being properly registered and that the signage at the location failed to recognize my valid permit, I formally request the following: A full refund of all towing and storage fees incurred. Confirmation that my valid parking permit is properly recognized moving forward to prevent future incidents.
