The following is a press release written by Desiree DeMolina for the City of Bloomington.
The City of Bloomington invites residents to apply for the 2026 Resident-Led Traffic Calming Program (bton.in/yf6f3), an initiative designed to improve safety and reduce vehicle speeds on residential streets.
Now in its sixth year, the program has supported neighborhoods across Bloomington in implementing traffic-calming measures, such as speed humps, resulting in measurable speed reductions and safer streets. Most recently, the program supported traffic calming improvements on W. 11th Street from Monroe Street to Maple Street. That 2025 project was completed earlier this month.
Residents interested in proposing traffic calming measures in their neighborhood should submit a Letter of Intent (bton.in/uScOy) by Friday, June 26. The full application deadline is Friday, July 10. Applications will be reviewed in July and selected projects will be announced in August.
The Resident-Led Traffic Calming Program reflects the City’s commitment to safer, more accessible streets for all users. For more details and to apply, visit the Traffic Calming and Greenways webpage (bton.in/IVKFM) or review the Traffic Calming and Greenways Policy (bton.in/rYxAr).
