/ The Bloomington City Council could soon consider a recommendation from city staff to eliminate the twice-a-year free bulk waste pickups. That’s one of several cost-cutting moves that city staff has studied in hopes of closing a $1.2 million deficit in its Solid Waste fund.

starting July 6. But they shouldn’t get used to it.

The city plans to reopen the road through Lower Cascades Park that had been closed to vehicle traffic for a pilot project, after critics said the closure prevented people with mobility issues from accessing the park’s most beautiful areas.
“Reopening Old State Road 37 … made the most sense at this time,” Bloomington Public Works Director Adam Wason told the public works board this week.
The city in March of last year converted a 0.6-mile segment of North Old Ind. 37 to a bicycle and pedestrian trail as part of a pilot project. An engineering firm hired by the city parks department provided three potential options for a bike/ped path in 2019, though it recommended against a full road closure, in part because that option was opposed by the public, emergency services and even park staff.
