Welcome to Bloomington today I'm Laurie Schulte thanks for joining us. First, we bring you the buzz for the week of July. First through the 7th residents who travel on East, 90th Street may run into lane closures due to a sewer improvement project, it's being done by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services, and will rehabilitate two and a half miles of pipe beneath East 90th street between third Avenue and old cedar avenue. South mces operates this wastewater collection and treatment system in the city and it needs an update. The beginning stages of the project are underway now.

B

Currently, crews are installing temporary pipes between Portland and Chicago on East 90th Street, so the sewer cleaning and realigning can get started. This work will ship traffic forcing drivers to travel in one lane in each direction. Well, you can still get down East 90th Street. You won't be able to make a left turn onto 90th at most intersections. This is just the beginning of the sewer improvement project which will last through November for the latest information on closures and progress.

B

Visit the city's website and search mces Hennepin County is offering grants to help with recycling efforts, businesses, nonprofits and institutions looking to start or improve their recycling or organics programs may apply. The money could be used by containers and equipment. It could also help pay for hauling services. If the business already recycles the grant could buy improvements to loading docks and waste enclosures free assistance is also available.

You can see in this video the city started, providing recycling carts at parks last year, a big step forward for recycling efforts in Bloomington for more information on the Hennepin County grant visit hennepin us / business recycling. You can also call 6 12, 5, 4, 3, 13 16 for recycling or six one, two, three, four, eight five, eight nine three four gannets while summer usually means vacations and relaxation there's some work that comes along with the season.

B

Caring for your garden and lawn can be a lot of work, but the housing and redevelopment authority is hosting free, home-improvement seminars that make it a little easier. The first one focused on lawn care and maintenance and Home Depot's Brad Phillips shared some tips step.

C

1, if you know you are not planting grass seed, I recommend the pre-emergent. This is going to stop weed seeds from germinating. It's critical, because dandy lions are going to come up fiercely throughout the season, so you want to eliminate any seeds that are ever going to pop up. That does not kill plants that are already growing, though, if.

B

You missed this seminar. It'll be airing right here on the Bloomington channel. 14 you'll also have a chance to attend to more this summer on July, sixteenth, there's a bath remodeling seminar, which will discuss cost effective updates for your bathroom. The final seminar is on august 27th and it will cover basement waterproofing. An expert will share information on how to solve water and drainage problems. Each seminar takes place inside the rehearsal hall at Civic Plaza, starting at seven. Those seminars aren't the only free events happening this summer.

B

Arts in the parks is well underway and there's something for everyone. This is video of a band performing at the Norman Dale lake band shell. It's part of the evening performance series. There will also be Thursday blockbusters here where the city hosts top-notch entertainment and food vendors. Moonlight movies are also shown at the bandshell on a thirty foot, outdoor movie screen for a full list of all the events taking place this summer visit the city's website and search arts in the parks.
