City of Bloomington Invites Community Input on Gateway North Planning Effort

The City of Bloomington invites residents, business owners, and other community members to share their priorities for the future of the Gateway North area at a community conversation on Thursday, Nov. 19, from 5 to 7 p.m. at City Hall, 401 N. Morton Street. The event will include a pizza dinner and informal discussions with Planning & Transportation staff about how people live, work and spend time in the area, as well as what they would like to see in the future.

The Gateway North is the project name for a Comprehensive Plan amendment to establish a long-term vision, goals, and strategies for the area’s physical, social, and economic development. The focus area is approximately bounded by N Rogers Street, west to N Dunn Street, and from 14th Street, North to the IN-SR 45/46 Bypass.

“In order to establish project goals and develop recommendations, we have to learn from our community about their lived experience in the area and what they want to see in ten years,” said Anne Crecelius, Long Range Planner.

Community members can also complete an online survey. To learn more, see focus area maps, or complete a survey, visit https://bton.in/U394y.
