thanks
for
joining
us

it's
time
to
bring
you.
The
bus
on
Bloomington
today
for
the
week
of
September
19th
through
the
25th
coyotes
have
been
in
Bloomington
for
years
and
recently
resident
inquiries
about
these
wild
animals
have
prompted
city
officials
to
make
a
few
facts
about
wildlife
in
the
city,
more
clear,
City,
Animal
Control
is
aware
of
coyotes
in
Bloomington.
A
However,
they
do
not
regulate
healthy
wildlife,
nor
do
they
track
locations
or
sightings,
but
if
a
resident
should
have
questions
about
what
to
do,
if
they
spot
a
coyote
keyword,
search
coyote
on
the
city's
website
there,
you
can
find
expert
information
about
the
appearance
of
coyotes
times
of
active
behavior
and
diseases
they
may
have.
It
will
also
let
residents
know
how
to
prevent
coyotes
from
lingering
in
your
yard,
offering
solutions
like
keeping
garbage
secured
and
not
feeding
the
birds
or
deer
as
that
can
attract
coyotes.
A
This
past
spring,
the
city
invited
an
urban
wildlife
specialist
to
civic
plaza
to
talk
about
living
with
coyotes.
This
presentation
can
be
found
on
the
city's
YouTube
channel
after
more
than
a
month
of
being
closed.

its
doors
this
week
located

of
visitors
every
week
and
in
early
August,
Hennepin
County
Library
staffed
closed
the
facility
for
a
month
of
renovations.
The
primary
purpose
of
the
reconstruction
was
to
install
a
new
heating
ventilation
and
air
conditioning
system.
A
The
service
and
information
desks
were
consolidated
into
one
desk,

was
touched
up
and
new
carpeting
was
installed
in

areas.
In

the
adult

center
was
moved.
An
additional
seating
was
added
on
Monday

were
invited
back
into

to
hopefully
experience
a
more
streamlined
