The City of Bloomington Board of Public Works meeting on October 20, 2026, approved a contract with Laura Soto, DVM, for in-shelter veterinary services and a preliminary engineering contract with Crossroads Engineers PC for Summit Phase 1 improvements; no contract amounts were stated. The board also approved payroll on the consent agenda and claims totaling $1,311,956. Other approvals included traffic-box artwork and several event and temporary right-of-way requests. The board tabled Duke Energy’s request to extend right-of-way closures for the IU Loop work on Kirkwood, Grant, and Dunn because details and a work schedule were unclear; staff planned to follow up with Duke and report back. The College and Walnut corridor was discussed as a study with recommendations only, with no implementation plan or funding in place.
