Bloomington Transportation Commission Planning Session, March 3, 2026

The City of Bloomington's Transportation Commission held a planning session focused on a comprehensive corridor study of the Rogers Street, Madison Street, and Kinser Pike corridor. The study aims to improve safety and accessibility along this key north-south arterial by addressing serious injury crashes, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure gaps, and future land use considerations. The commission discussed the project's vision, goals, and design objectives, emphasizing community engagement and the development of both short-term and long-term safety improvements. Key challenges include high-speed traffic, underutilized parking, and jurisdictional constraints at critical intersections, particularly the INDOT-managed bypass intersection. The commission will continue to review design alternatives and public feedback, with a final study expected by mid-summer 2026.
