The Bloomington City Council voted on June 4, 2007 to approve the new 8200 Lake Normandale Tower final development plan. I think it was like 1/4 million square feet. In my personal opinion our city council is being led again by developers rather than serve their constituency. This just will create more vehicles and traffic. Each one of those pollution machines (vehicles) will put more carbon dioxide in our air.
They succumbed to money and developers as usual. Thank to Councilmember Elkins being the only “NO” vote. They just don’t seem to get it, in my opinion, yet and I guess that is why we have elections.
Mayor Winstad has indicated that by building they were being good “stewards”. This is the way the city is headed with urban centers and they had to figure out transportation issues. The Mayor and I have different definitions of what being a good “steward" is.
