Bloomington MPO Technical Advisory Committee, April 22, 2026

The Bloomington MPO Technical Advisory Committee met on April 22, 2026, to discuss various transportation and infrastructure projects and funding allocations. Key procurement-related topics included updates on federal and state-funded projects such as intersection improvements on SR 45/10th Street, downtown curb ramp projects, and bridge preconstruction activities. The committee reviewed proposed amendments to the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), including the addition of new paving and traffic signal modernization projects with total costs ranging from $500,000 to $1 million. They also discussed the reallocation and trading of funds among projects to accommodate schedule changes, with some funds left to be allocated at a later date. A vote was taken to approve the TIP amendments, with most members voting in favor and a few abstentions. Additionally, the committee addressed compliance with conflict of interest questionnaires for members and highlighted efforts to improve packet accessibility and public engagement for upcoming transit service changes. No new contracts or vendor selections were directly mentioned, but several consultant selections and bidding processes for upcoming projects were noted.
