BLOOMINGTON – Using feedback received this spring from community members, the City of Bloomington will begin the next phase of the Rogers Street, Madison Street, Kinser Pike Corridor Study. Over the coming weeks, City staff will host a myriad of community events to present preliminary conceptual corridor designs.
Community members are invited to attend a Public Workshop from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, September 1, at the Switchyard Park Pavilion, 1601 South Rogers Street, to review the preliminary concepts and provide feedback. Those unable to attend the public workshop are encouraged to complete an online survey, available at bton.in/rmk2s.
Residents may also attend the Transportation Commission Planning Session on Monday, August 24, at 5:30 in the McCloskey Room of Bloomington City Hall, 401 N. Morton St. City staff will host unscheduled pop-up events along the study area to talk to street users about the proposed concepts.
This corridor study is part of the City of Bloomington’s Vision Zero goal, which seeks to eliminate fatal or severe injury crashes on Bloomington roadways by 2039. In the last 10 years, there have been 1,406 crashes along or across the corridor, resulting in life-altering injuries to 80 people.
The study aims to create a safer, more accessible, and better-connected multimodal corridor that prioritizes the safety and comfort of all users. This approach supports existing neighborhoods and strengthens vibrant, people-centered places.
