Lyndale Avenue Vision Statement

The City’s consultant has drafted a vision statement, based off of initial study of the Lyndale Avenue Corridor and feedback from the community – what people love, what they dislike and what they want to see more of. Tell us if we got it correct. We value your feedback to make this a vision statement that reflects the community’s desires. This is a working draft so we’re looking for continued input.

• Lyndale Avenue is a dynamic, walkable boulevard that connects a series of vibrant and distinctive neighborhoods along one, cohesive corridor.
• It is the cultural heart of the community, with a diverse population and interests that embrace equitable and safe neighborhoods for all. 
• The corridor includes a series of destinations to live, dine, play, and work—preserving Bloomington’s unique history, while providing a framework to build new and exciting experiences. 
• Public gathering places are conveniently accessible and reinforced with a range of restaurant and shopping destinations. 
• Opportunities to preserve and enhance the environment are incorporated into future growth, creating a place where nature meets business.
