The Bloomington Planning Commission is set to hear public input on a new property development plan that could slice a single lot into a duo at 6701 W 78th Street. Locals are called to voice their opinions on April 4th, 2024, at 6 pm, both in person at the Bloomington Civic Plaza and through virtual avenues, aligning with State law provisions. Those eager to understand the nitty-gritty of the proposed change can rifle through details at the city’s official notice webpage here.
For residents who can't make it in person, the city's laid out a buffet of options to tune in. There's a live broadcast up for grabs on BTV (Comcast channels 859 or 14), a stream on the City's YouTube channel, or the ever-reliable option to participate via phone—but make a note, it's a long-distance call that could ring up charges. The city encourages testimony to be delivered by high noon on the day of the hearing, and surely don't forget to throw in which agenda item you're chiming in on.
Elizabeth O'Day, the Planner spearheading the information dispersal, is the go-to for more intel on the development. Reachable at (952) 563-8919 or via electronic mail at [email protected], she resides at the brick-and-mortar address of 1800 West Old Shakopee Road, Bloomington, MN 55431-3027. Engaged citizens looking to lob in their two cents about the proposed subdivision can make their voices heard before the gavel goes down on the decision.
This upcoming public hearing is more than just a bureaucratic waltz; it's a chance for the people's voice to be weaved into the fabric of Bloomington's future. With a mere week before the community comes together to debate the potential partitioning of 6701 W 78th Street, the clock's ticking for those aiming to make their presence felt—either in the flesh, virtually, or in spirit through penned words or dialed-in declarations. The blueprint for Bloomington's tomorrow hangs in the balance, shaped by the remarks and resolutions birthed in these gatherings.
