Meeting on the High Street multiuse path

It should be interesting, especially after the enthusiastic discussion about the Second Street redesign a few months ago. Will the High Street residents be as excited?

@bloomington_in Question about the existing path south of Arden. Someone yells Apples and Oranges! Someone else endorses it hugely and is looking forward to the new path. Questioner wants some better visualizations.

Question about preserving the character of the neighborhood. They own several properties ๐Ÿคจ

Another question about making the path narrower. Eight feet is adequate! (Groans from the audience). Was there a pedestrian traffic study? City doesn't do that.

@bloomington_in Question about closing a lane to cars instead. It was studied but city didn't like it.

Question about native plants in the grass section. More of a homeowner question.

More storm water questions!

Questioner suggests cars will go faster if there are no potholes ๐Ÿ˜‚

Question about putting paths on busy streets instead of side streets.

The whiny rich people whine more.

Question about pedestrian access during construction.

@bloomington_in

Whiny rich people ask about preserving privacy when the peasants use the path, and preserving the character.

General meeting adjourns. People can now come up and look at the maps and ask questions one-on-one.

@benfulton @bloomington_in ruining my positive view of Bloomington residents...thought they would be all supportive of sustainable transportation choices.

@Bikevisionary @bloomington_in The vast majority are, but district 4 is full of large estates within a few blocks of downtown. It's like a NIMBY breeding ground!
