Bloomington residents have an opportunity to weigh in on a proposed convenience facility with fuel sales slated for development at 1050 and 1000 West 94th Street. The Bloomington Planning Commission will convene a public hearing on the matter, welcoming community input on January 15, 2026, according to an official notice released by the City.
The hearing, set for 6:00 pm, will take place at the Bloomington Civic Plaza's Council Chambers. Options for remote participation are also outlined, with residents able to attend virtually under the provisions allowed by State law. Interested parties can delve into the project's details in advance of the meeting by visiting the City's website, where review information and materials are available.
For those looking to express their opinions or ask questions during the public hearing, a few methods are provided: attending the hearing in person, watching via BTV on Comcast channels 859 or 14, or online through the City's live stream on their website or YouTube Channel. According to City of Bloomington, telephonic participation for public testimony is also an option, with a notice explaining the procedure: "Participate via phone (testimony for public hearings only) by dialing 1-415-655-0001. Enter the access code: 2866 173 2795 and the password: 7526#. Press *3 to “raise your hand” to indicate a desire to speak; your line will remain muted until it is your turn. When it is your turn to speak, the meeting operator will call on you by the first six digits of your phone number and will unmute your line."
To be considered during the meeting, email and voicemail testimonies should be submitted by noon on the day of the hearing. The hearing notice includes an encouragement for submissions: "To ensure City staff have adequate time to disseminate your email or voicemail testimony to the Planning Commission, please submit it by noon on January 15, 2026." Those submitting should make sure to reference the specific agenda item in question.
