CBNA Quarterly Meeting Feb. 27th
If you didn't make it to the last meeting, we discussed:
Organization and planning for Clean-Up Day that would be happening in May. There will be a yard sale element this year (2012) as well as road trash removal crew and trucks to pick up metal and items that can be recycled, that might need a pick-up or trailer to move.
Need to stay ahead of planning that will be taking place for I-69
Neighborhood Watch - briefly Shannon Simpson states that Crescent Pointe now has a courtesy officer and that patrols by police have increased as well.
Possibly organizing groups to keep the road trash free throughout the year.
Problems with barking dogs and how to approach and resolve the problem.
Briefly discussed the new Crescent Rd./ Vernal Pike intersection. Justin Wykoff unable to come to meeting. Our sign will be placed at this intersection. We plan to landscape and use our own funds so we will not necessarily be tied to "City recommended" plants and trees.
Retaining 501C status as a tax-free entity and filing paperwork with federal government.
NEXT MEETING WILL BE ON CLEAN-UP DAY MAY 12th.

Please Contact Council Members about Road Improvements
The Bloomington City Council will vote on the 2012 budget on September 27 and October 5. The budget includes funding for the proposed roundabout at the K intersection (Arlington, W. 17th, & Monroe). Funding for this improvement may be in jeopardy because some council members are considering voting against it.
Please join us by speaking up! Contact City Council members and ask them to support funding for this roundabout project--if possible, before the September 27 meeting. You could call, write a letter, or send an email to express your opinion and to explain why you think the proposed roundabout is needed. Also consider attending the upcoming City Council meeting next week.
When writing your emails or letters, consider some the following issues, in addition to other concerns you have:
1) This intersection is one of the most confusing in the City, it isn’t safe, and it has a high accident rate.
2) Traffic at the intersection has increased dramatically, and the intersection is unable to accommodate—safely at least—this traffic.
3) Three high-density housing complexes and three schools—Tri-North Middle, Pinnacle, and Head Start—are within a quarter of a mile of this intersection. Apart from increased automobile and pedestrian traffic, school buses and parents must drive to and from the schools. Thus, the safety issues also have increased dramatically.
4) The proposed roundabout is designed to fix multiple problems, including the need for significant re-grading, accommodating a steep grade, moving utilities, and solving flooding problems due to storm drainage runoff. Thus, the project costs cover both the construction of a roundabout and solutions to these problems. And the design meets the engineering requirements of the Indiana Department of Transportation, which will cover 80% of the costs for the projects.
5) The roundabout was promised in writing as part of the City Legal Department’s negotiations related to the development of Crescent Pointe.
