Bloomington Advances Creek Corridor Project, Launches Energy Challenge
The City of Bloomington provided updates on the 9M Creek Corridor renewal project during a March 26 public engagement event, marking the third phase of community input on the infrastructure initiative.
City staff and consultants presented schematic designs covering improvements to natural and water resources, proposed enhancements from Harrison Park to 106th Street, stair replacement at 106th Street, and the layout and design of Moyer Park. The project has reached the 30% design phase, according to the presentation.
The city also announced it is reviewing adjustments to sidewalk snow removal operations to better align with street plowing schedules. Current operations clear all public sidewalks and trails within one to three days depending on snow accumulation, while street plowing is completed the same day.
Bloomington launched its renewable energy challenge for April, seeking 30 residents and businesses to sign up for XL Energy's Renewable Connect Flex program. Participants can source up to 100% of their electricity from renewable sources for an additional $1 to $10 monthly.
The Hatch Bloomington business pitch competition is accepting applications through April 28, offering $100,000 to the winner for establishing a brick-and-mortar business in the city. The competition includes three evaluation stages with a panel of business and community leaders serving as judges.
