Residents of Bloomington, especially those who have connections to Valley View Schools, should mark this important City Council meeting on their calendars. The council will discuss the proposed Safe Routes to School Improvement Project, which aims to improve the pedestrian infrastructure around the school, at 6:30 p.m. on December 2, 2024. The estimated $680,000 cost of the planned changes, which are concentrated at 88th Street and the intersection of Bischoff Lane and Portland Avenue, represents a substantial investment in student safety and accessibility.
People who want to express their thoughts or just want to come can do so in a number of ways, according to a statement from the City of Bloomington. You can watch the proceedings on BTV, either online or on Comcast, or you can show up in person at the Bloomington Civic Plaza. During the public hearing, community members can actively voice their concerns or support by calling in. Simply be ready to dial in and use the *3 key to move through the line, or send testimonies beforehand by voicemail or email to make sure their words are received.
If you choose to call in, be ready because the Council Secretary will use the first six digits of your phone number to beckon speakers. It’s important to hold off on speaking until you hear that your line has been unmuted. Communications must reach the secretary by 2:00 p.m. on the day of the meeting if you would prefer to write down your ideas. In order to ensure that your contribution is appropriately recorded, remember to include your complete contact information in addition to the specific agenda item.
City Engineer Julie Long may provide specific information on the project and the procedure for submitting comments prior to the public hearing. The official notification explains how to get in touch, whether you want to voice your support, voice concerns, or just want to learn more about what this project means for the community at large. The chance to influence and add to the discussion around community infrastructure and student safety will be crucial as the public hearing approaches.
