Bloomington, Indiana – Bloomington residents will have another chance to sit down face-to-face with city leadership early next week as Mayor Kerry Thomson and Planning & Transportation Director David Hittle bring the city’s Traveling Town Hall series to the south side.
The next session is scheduled for Monday, April 6, from 6 to 7 p.m. at Morgenstern Books and Cafe, 849 S. Auto Mall Road. The event is designed to give community members a direct line to local officials in a more casual setting, where questions can be asked openly and city priorities can be discussed up close.
City leaders say the Traveling Town Hall format is meant to make local government feel more accessible. Rather than asking residents to come to City Hall, the meetings move through the community, creating space for neighbors to hear updates, share concerns, and speak directly with decision-makers about what is happening in Bloomington.
The evening will open with a short update from Thomson before shifting into a broader conversation about city projects, neighborhood needs, and other initiatives affecting residents. With Hittle joining the discussion, the gathering is also expected to offer insight into planning and transportation matters that shape daily life across the city.
For residents who cannot attend in person, the meeting will also be carried live by Community Access Television Services. A recording will later be available to watch on demand at catstv.net, giving the public another way to stay informed about the conversation.
The town hall continues Bloomington’s effort to meet people where they are, turning a civic update into something more personal and immediate. In a familiar neighborhood setting, residents will be able to listen, ask questions, and take part in a conversation about where the city is headed and what matters most in their part of town.
