Improvements are expected on Jefferson St. in the upcoming months. Jefferson was rated a 3 by city officials, meaning it is in need of repairs very soon to continue functioning as a usable street. Bloomington Committee of the Whole met today to discuss the possibility of the changes to the street and the downtown area. The most controversial option discussed was the shared street model where the bike lane, road and sidewalk are all one level. Estimates that were shown in the meeting for the model, would cost nearly a million dollars to implement. Most of the council members were displeased with the idea. The official future of the street will determined on April 23rd after a council vote.
