Rogers/Madison/Kinser Corridor Study
What is this Project?
The City of Bloomington is studying the Rogers/Madison/Kinser corridor to understand what’s working well, where there are problems, and how the street could be improved. Using community feedback, data, existing plans, and city goals, this corridor study will document ideas and draft designs for how the corridor could look and function in the future.
Where is this Project?
The Rogers/Madison/Kinser corridor is a single road with three names the runs north to south from the Bypass south to Old State Road 37. The road is Kinser Pike from the bypass south to 17th Street, Madison Street south to 11th street, and Rogers Street south to Old State Road 37. This corridor study will study only a 4.1 segment of the corridor from the Bypass south to Country Club Drive.
When Will This Project be Completed?
The corridor study will take place throughout 2026. If construction is recommended after the study is finished, the timeline will depend on the size of the project, available grant funding, and other factors.
Why Complete this Project?
The purpose of our transportation system is to safely, efficiently, and affordably connect people to jobs, housing, schools, and community life. Growth and change in our community bring new opportunities and also new obligations to ensure our transportation system works for everyone. This project is part of the City’s short and long range planning efforts to ensure the transportation system continues to meet resident needs and help reach community goals.
The Rogers/Madison/Kinser corridor plays a key role in connecting neighborhoods from north to south. With major changes underway, including development near the Trades District and Hopewell neighborhood, this is an important moment to evaluate how the corridor functions today and how it should function in the future. The study will explore potential improvements to roadway design, sidewalks, landscaping, traffic operations, transit access, and other features that shape how people experience the corridor no matter if they are driving, walking, biking, rolling, or using transit.
Every transportation project, including maintaining streets as is, involves tradeoffs. This project is meant to study these tradeoffs and work towards addressing residents needs and achieving community goals. Goals for this project, so far, include reducing crash risk, improving access to jobs and services, accommodating future growth, improve safe routes to schools, and creating safer conditions for people of all ages and abilities.
How be be Involved
You are invited to be part of our planning process. There are many opportunities for residents to engage, collaborate, and become co-creators of this street. Your input will be used to help determine needs, weigh trade-offs, and design a street that meets the needs of all residents.
- Get Updates: sign-up for newsletters to learn about upcoming community collaboration opportunities (coming soon)
- Review Designs: review street design options to help weigh-trade offs, show unmet needs, and improve the street (coming soon)
- Join a Meeting: We will be hosting open houses where attendees can provide feedback (coming soon)
