Bloomington Transportation Commission Planning Session, August 24, 2026

The City of Bloomington Transportation Commission held a planning session on August 24, 2026, focused on the Rogers Madison Kinser Pike corridor study. Staff presented preliminary design concepts for various intersections along the corridor, including proposals for traffic calming measures such as compact and single-lane roundabouts, raised crosswalks, and shared use paths for pedestrians and cyclists. The discussion included considerations of right-of-way constraints, coordination with INDOT bridge projects, and potential impacts on property access. Commissioners raised questions about prioritization of intersections studied, connectivity to existing bike trails, and cost implications of design choices like brick paving versus stamped concrete. The session concluded with plans for further public engagement and a final report review anticipated in mid to late fall 2026. No specific contract awards or procurement actions were taken during this meeting, but the study's outcomes will inform future capital improvement projects and potential construction contracts.
