Bloomington resident Gary Donohue addresses the Bloomington City Council at its meeting Monday, July 12, 2021, at the Government Center.
Nearly a dozen residents of a neighborhood hit hard during last month’s flooding addressed the Bloomington City Council on Monday, with many emotionally recounting the impact of sewers backing up. Several blamed the city for not fixing that area’s combined sewer system before other parts of town.
A multi-agency resource center will be set up this weekend to help McLean County residents struggling with the June 24-25 flood’s aftermath, City Manager Tim Gleason told the council.
During public comments, 10 speakers said they wanted the Eastgate neighborhood, which stretches west of Regency from Washington Street to Oakland Avenue, to be a higher priority for Bloomington’s public works department addressing the combined sewer overflow (CSO) issue.
