City says downtown streetscape work has begun, offers temporary parking guidance
Summary
City staff said the downtown streetscape project has started, the plaza has been blocked off, and the city secured nearby parking to support businesses during construction.
Senior Deputy City Manager Billy Tyus told the Bloomington City Council on Monday that the downtown streetscape project began this week and that the city has blocked the plaza while work proceeds. Tyus said the city has secured parking in the lot next to the BCPA (the Bloomington venue referenced in the meeting record) — what he called the former Grand Cafe parking lot — and urged patrons of downtown businesses to use that lot and look for forthcoming signage.
“We have secured Oak Parking in what was the former Grand Cafe, parking lot next to the BCPA,” Tyus said. He said the city was working to secure additional parking and provide signage so visitors could continue to access downtown restaurants and businesses while the plaza is closed.
The remarks were an informational update from city management; no council action or formal directive was recorded on this item during the meeting.
