Brick Street Strategic Plan

As many of you already know, the Bloomington Historic Preservation Committee will hold a public hearing on the City of Bloomington Brick Street Strategic Plan. This plan seems to honor the beauty and durability of our beloved brick streets, but this session will also address specific policies and procedures that will affect those residents directly. The meeting may be just informative and harmless, but it would be in our best interest to have as many residents of White Place at this meeting as we can.

In the past, our presence at these types of meetings has had considerable impact on the hearings. It sends a strong message when our residents fill City Hall Chambers to address issues of our neighborhood. So please try to set aside about an hour or so on Thursday.

Information about the hearing can be found on the city of bloomington website.

City Council Chambers, City Hall
109 E Olive Street
Thursday August 20 @ 5:00 pm

If anyone needs a ride to the hearing please let me know.
