The City of Bloomington Council for Community Accessibility will mark the ADA's 35th anniversary on Saturday, August 2 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Fernandez Plaza outside City Hall — if it rains, the event moves indoors to the City Hall Atrium, and local organizations will offer booths, activities, games, prizes, and cookies to highlight community accessibility.

At last night's Monroe County Council meeting, a coalition of twelve local organizations urged council members to renovate the current jail and invest in housing, mental health care, food security, and substance use treatment rather than spend over $230 million on a new facility — they pointed out that a $62 million renovation could free up $175 million for these vital services for Monroe County's 140,000 residents.

The Bloomington police department set up mobile solar-powered surveillance cameras at Lincoln Street & Kirkwood Avenue on July 27th.

UCLA hired former Indiana football coach Tino Sunseri to boost its offense under head coach Deshaun Foster; he impressed Bruins with his work with transfer quarterbacks.

The Bruins will visit Bloomington on Oct. 25 and Sunseri will coach transfer quarterback Nico Iamaleava (who had nearly 3,000 yards last season) (as he aims for an NFL future).

Indiana football will begin fall camp on July 30 as coach Curt Cignetti works to secure starting roles and settle a cornerback battle between Jamari Sharpe, who earned the spring game nod, and transfer Ryland Gandy.
