Bloomington. Tomorrow. Together.

Sunrise Park Playground

Update the play equipment at sunrise park.

Keep our green space, keep the one and only outdoor swimming pool. Have it open for a few weeks longer like other communities do.

Save the pool

Domed turf

I would like to see artificial turf added at Bloomington Stadium. Right know the field is severely under used and could be a tremendous asset to generate money (sports rentals, etc.). Same to domes on the current turf fields at both high schools.

We DESPERATELY NEED A COMMUNITY CENTER FOR ALL!!

Turf Dome

A turf field with a dome for the winter months is sorely needed. Many of our youth/adult programs could use the field at a reduced cost instead of traveling to Savage, Eden Prairie, or further to use a similar facility. It is too bad a city of our size does not have a facility that is becoming standard in many neighboring communities. I would think a public/private sector partnership with naming rights could be explored for funding.

Bloomington isn't doing enough to address all the implications of climate change. There ARE many residents that ARE wanting to help.

We need to deal with and prepare for what is a head of us in a warming climate. More education on the simple things residents can do themselves: water/electric conservation, the 6 R's, composting, salt usage etc..

Restoring and maintaining our natural resources.

Studies show that healthy and quality natural resources improve 1) the physical, social, and mental health of people, 2) wildlife and pollinator habitant, 3) the balance within our earth's ecosystem (which would help prevent and address climate change), 4) the desirability of our city, and 5) provide sustainable jobs and food.

As the community ages, more and more young families are moving to the area. We need to accommodate both groups the young and the old.

Aging community

Lack of a sense of community among neighbors.

Social hostility and tensions, poorly maintained public spaces, and increasing crime are just a few indicators of the need for a greater sense of community among neighbors. The City needs to commit to working to support and encourage a sense of community among neighbors.

Maintaining facilities

Taking a walk with our family through Kelly Fields, we often notice what a tremendous asset the parks are to the community. We also notice the spaces are showing regular wear without necessary maintenance or upgrades. An example is the playground at Kelly which is heavily used but needs to either be repaired or replaced. Warming houses could use more maintenance than they currently receive.

Short and Sweet: PEOPLE are the greatest untapped resources in our community!!

As stated in other idea, there are residents that are willing to roll up their sleeves and get to work. They just need the opportunity.

All people who live, work, worship, play, and learn, in our city.

A new multipurpose clubhouse for Dwan. It could also serve as a meeting space and for wedding receptions.

New Clubhouse for Dwan Golf Course that could support the costs of replacing it.

We have a lot of under utilized green spaces. We need to remove invasive plants and develop a plan to get residents outdoors.

The local government needs to stand solidly behind the vision of what people want for the city. Then educate, inform, & interact w people.

Government should be the formal extension of the community.

Government should be focused on facilitating an ongoing community conversation that translates into collective action, where everyone is supported in knowing and doing their part. Government should not be about doing things for people, but rather should be focused on doing things with and working with the community. Thus government needs to ensure their work supports, builds, and encourages a sense of community and collective action among neighbors.

The city should fund the initial costs of the buildings which would then be self supporting or provide income for the city in the future.

Fund the initial cost of the building a New Clubhouse or Community Center
