MPO Approves TIP Amendment, Moves High Street Funds to West 2nd and Adds INDOT Projects
Summary
The MPO policy committee adopted TIP Amendment FY2026‑04, reassigning $490,000 in federal funds from Bloomington’s High Street project to West 2nd Street, and approved three INDOT additions including sign repairs and a small‑structure replacement on SR 45.
The Bloomington/Monroe County MPO policy committee adopted a TIP amendment (FY2026‑04) that reallocated federal funds and added several Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) projects to the TIP.
What passed: the resolution moves $490,000 in federal funds previously allocated to the City of Bloomington’s High Street construction phase to the West 2nd Street project for 2026 because High Street could not obligate funds this year. The resolution also adds an INDOT sign installation/repair project (district‑wide) and a small‑structure replacement on SR 45 (a metal culvert replaced with a precast reinforced concrete box with erosion control), with construction scheduled in 2028.
Committee action: staff introduced the amendments, a motion to adopt the resolution was moved and seconded, and the committee carried the resolution by roll-call vote. No public comment was recorded during the vote.
Why it matters: reallocating funds keeps federal dollars active in the TIP year instead of leaving funds unused; added INDOT projects affect corridor maintenance and drainage at locations outside any single jurisdiction’s immediate control.
Quotations from the meeting: MPO staff summarized the TIP changes to committee members, noting the High Street funds ‘‘couldn’t be used this year, and so they were reallocated to West 2nd.’’
Next steps: staff will transmit the approved amendment to INDOT, FHWA and FTA as the MPO’s TIP revision; project sponsors will proceed with right‑of‑way and letting steps according to the revised schedule.
