The city is inviting residents to weigh in on the 9mm Creek corridor renewal project, which will reshape a key area in Bloomington. At the March 26 event, community members can review schematic designs, speak directly with project leaders, and share their thoughts. Those unable to attend in person can submit feedback online through the city's "Let's Talk Bloomington" page.

Alongside the creek project, Bloomington is also seeking input on adjustments to its sidewalk snow removal process. The city wants to improve conditions for pedestrians and better coordinate sidewalk clearing with its faster street and cul-de-sac plowing operations. Like the creek project, residents can provide feedback either at the Civic Plaza event or online.

In other news, the Bloomington Ice Garden is undergoing a major modernization as part of the "Bloomington Forward" initiative. The facility will remain closed through the fall while crews complete extensive upgrades including mechanical and roof work, converting one rink to NHL regulation size, and adding an indoor training area. The project also includes improvements to ticketing systems, security, ADA accessibility, locker rooms, restrooms, and concessions. During the renovation, skate school programs have been temporarily moved to the Richfield Ice Arena.

Residents interested in any of these projects can attend the March 26 event at Bloomington Civic Plaza or visit the Let's Talk Bloomington page online to submit comments.
