What a beautiful day we shared at the Fall Pitch in at the Park Sunday October 23, 2016. Approximately 25 Sherwood Oaks Families came together with little ones in costume to play, enjoy treats and discuss some of our current issues in the neighborhood. Entertainment was provided by <a href="http://annawrasse.com/">Anna Wrasse</a> , and everyone brought their favorite fall desserts.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: small;">
Melissa Patee from Smithville Fiber Services spoke to our group about the possibility of fiber optic lines being installed in our neighborhood. We will be starting a campaign to share the information and find out what kind of interest we have from the neighbors. We must have at least 200 of the 500 homes interested in order to move forward with consideration from Smithville Fiber Services. Please help spread the word that Smithville Fiber may be coming!</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: small;">

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: small;">
Bob Boch spoke to our group about the large number of multi unit housing complexes being built mainly in the South side of Bloomington and requested anyone interested in joining with him to voice our concerns to the City to please let him know. If you are interested in voicing your concerns, please email <a href="mailto:Sherwoodoaksneighbors@gmail.com">Sherwoodoaksneighbors@gmail.com</a>.</div>

Tisa Bowden finished up by discussing the increasing number of stolen signs and pranks happening in the neighborhood. SON will be working on providing more information to the members concerning our Neighborhood Watch contact person. Lastly the 2016 Sherwood Oaks Neighbors Miles of Lights luminary display was mentioned. If you are interested in helping with the display this year please e-mail sherwoodoaksneighbors@gmail.com. Thank you for all who attended and those who helped make it a wonderful day!</div>

The neighbors pulled together to put on a spectacular display to celebrate this holiday season. Luminaries lined the main thoroughfares of the Sherwood Oaks, Sherwood Oaks 2, Sherwood Estates, and Woods Edge to bring our neighborhood together in this annual tradition. Each individual candle cast only a small light in the dark night, but when joined with the thousands of others lit the night in a powerful and uplifting display. May this be a season of hope and peace!</div>

Thank you to all of the neighbors who donated their time and talent to make this event come to life. Sherwood Oaks Neighbors collected over 110 pairs of socks to donate to the Shalom Center and the display was enjoyed by people throughout the city.<br />

The annual Sherwood Oaks Neighbors Miles of Lights tradition began on the very day of the Sandy Hook massacre.</div>

<div style="line-height: 15.006000518798828px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 18px;">
Two years later, Miles of Lights happened to coincide with the third anniversary of that horrible tragedy.</div>
</div>
<div class="encrypted-content" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<div style="line-height: 15.006000518798828px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 18px;">
Now back to back unspeakable violence in Paris and San Bernadino serve as a backdrop to our neighborhood lights.</div>

Our candles are not the concrete action needed to fight the proliferation of guns and culture of violence in this country but they are, at least, a visual statement that there is still more light than dark.</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Based on a vote at our general meeting April 2014 and followup work done by Tisa Bowden, Sherwood Oaks Neighbors now includes Sherwood Estates and Woods Edge. Neighbors felt it made sense to include these neighborhoods immediately to the south because we share common issues and boundaries. The SON map on file with the City of Bloomington has been updated to reflect our expanded area. Below is the SON constitution, also updated.</span></div>

On Dec. 14, Sherwood Oaks held its third annual Miles of Lights Luminary display. The Miles of Lights tradition began on the evening of the tragic Sandy Hook, Connecticut elementary school shooting on December 14, 2012. This year, as Miles of Lights coincided with the anniversary of the Sandy Hook tragedy, many neighbors lined the streets with candles lit in memory of lives lost. Sherwood Oaks Neighbors wishes to thank all those who gave their time, talent and donations to light over 2,500 luminaries to celebrate peace and hope in our community.</div>

<b>MILES OF LIGHTS EVENT - Sunday December 14th at Dusk</b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Candle-lit Sidewalks</b> - Just like previous years with as many candles in paper sacks as we can possibly line up along the main thoroughfare and side streets. This year the display will take place on <b>December 14th from 5pm to 8pm with a rain date of the 21st.</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Toys for Tots</b> - One of our neighbors, Bob Sutter, collects toys for the Toys for Tots program each year. We would like to throw our entire neighborhood's weight behind his efforts. The program has a great need for donations this year, and<b>accepts unwrapped gifts for children from 0-12 years old from now until Christmas day</b>. We are hoping many people will stop by to donate gifts on the night of the Luminaries as they walk/drive throughout the neighborhood light display.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Holiday Light Contest</b> - In addition to the candles lighting our streets, we would love to create a contest for the best holiday light display. Pictures of each neighbor's display would be posted to Facebook and whoever gets the most "likes" would win a prize! Let's get some friendly competition going and see our neighborhood glow!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Carolers</b> - A holiday tradition that just isn't seen enough these days is caroling. We would love to organize a group of carolers who could potentially visit several of our neighborhood shut-ins or elderly on the night of the Luminaries. Right now, we really don't have anything specific planned, so volunteers for this area are definitely encouraged.</div>

Sherwood Oaks Neighbors held a General Members Meeting on the 11th of November</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Start Time: <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_234245273" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">7:00pm</span></span></div>

<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<b>Discussion with and Questions for Councilmen (Daryl and Tom)</b></div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Q: What is the most effective way for neighborhoods to proceed when working with the council? What are examples (successful and unsuccessful) of efforts he has worked on for various neighborhoods in his district. Why did they succeed or fail?</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
A: Be active--show up to public hearings and voice concerns. Get involved early in the process and reach out to developers to influence the outcome. </div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Q: Why is there no plan for the south side for quality multi use projects such as those by the Bryant Part neighborhood or as along the B-Line?</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
A: This is a success story was due to a core group of neighborhood members coming to meet with the city and site developers. Come present a convincing argument at the public hearing and your voice will be influential.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Q: What effort is the city making for attracting higher end retail to the south side? Lucky's is a good start, but we need more of that.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
A: They are coming. There will be a revitalization of the vacant Marsh. There is no new news. Planning does not have a large roll to play in reusing buildings but has a much larger role to play in new construction and multi building projects.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Q: Why is there so much lower income housing on the south side? I think giving them Brenda's list is a good idea.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
A: The city is in the process of remaking the comprehensive plan, which is a visioning document and is very much used during future planning. There are components of land use and housing policies. In 2015 there will be a draft plan out for public hearing. Past the planning process code and zone changes will take a few years after the plan is complete.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Q: The area on mid South Walnut between Dodds and Southern could use significant improvement. Is there anything the city can do to move this area towards revitalization? While it does not directly impact on Sherwood Oaks it is symptomatic of of problems on the south side.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
A: The emergence of switch yard park is going to increase property values and attract real estate investments. Once the B-Line was announced, property values increased and the area was revitalized. This is anticipated with the emergence of the park.</div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> South Walnut is mainly used as a thoroughfare to get places, and as such there is not a lot of beauty and shopping. South Walnut is currently among a list of areas to revitalize--but that would mean changing the road, increasing sidewalks and reducing the amount of traffic flow.</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> There is a 10 acre property for sale. Zoned Residential Multifamily (Low Density). Capped at 70 units. The property is currently 100% wooded with steep slopes. 5 acres cannot be developed due to sink holes, and environmental constraints. We will be contacted if there are plans for development. There will be a public hearing for any development plans.</span><br />

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
A: Why city has refused to extend hillside from walnut to Rogers street? Traffic jam at walnut grimes intersection is ridiculous.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Q: Currently there are no plans to extend hillside because 1) it would be very complex to do work in a floodplain over clear creek; 2) the city plans to do a large community park on the south side which would be in the place of the road.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Q: What is happening with I-69?</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
A: I-69 is coming. Preliminary construction starting with That Rd and moving north. Completion in 2016. Tapp and Rockport will become a stop light. Fullerton Pike improvement beginning at Kroger South and moving toward I-69. The county will be making a presentation about the plans for road improvement in December. Look in your newspaper for more news and updates.</div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Q: Will the new downtown transportation hub stimulate any changes to our neighborhood bus service?<br />A: No not currently.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Q: Are there plans to expand the bus route schedule to come to SWO every half hour instead of only hourly.<br />A: No not currently.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Q: What is the future transportation plan for the city? Expansions? Contractions? Fare increases? Alternate ways to collect fares -- passes, etc.?</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
A: No changes at this time. Density and demand drive bus routes. There won't necessarily be expansion of routes.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Additional information presented during Discussion:<br />--The speedway noise is an issue in the neighborhood. Daryl will ask about the noise. We can draft a letter to the 3 commissioners on behalf of the neighborhood asking to impose a quiet time.<br />--The clubhouse at Acadia court is not in violation of building permits, although it remains incomplete. Tom will call on our behalf for more information.<br />--Regarding Parking Meters: there have not been any complaints from constituents, but from business about hours of enforcement. Some SON members complained about no longer going downtown to park. Others voiced that they enjoy not having to circle for a spot downtown any more. The City is concerned with students warehousing cars downtown and thus have chosen longer enforecement hours to decrease the likelihood of this occurring. One member would like to see a "grace period" for ticketing--not ticketing within 20minutes of the meter expiring, but rather issuing a warning during this time as a sign of compassion.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
--There was a complaint that the city should mandate parking be built-in for new construction. Tom expressed that it is difficult if not impossible in many areas to build underground parking garages due to the topography and bedrock in the area.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
--Improving the intersection at Allendale, Winslow and the YMCA intersection was discussed. Introducing crosswalks, warning lights and monitoring traffic violations are all improvements SON would like to see occur in the spring/summer. An evaluation process would lead to discussion with SON and recommendations.<br /><div class="gmail_extra">

<b>Executive Board Update and Election</b></div>
<div class="gmail_quote">
--Adam Morrison was elected to the Executive Board</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">
--A member asked what was the role of SON and similarly, the roles of members of the executive board as well as the neighborhood mission statement overall. Executive Board meeting minutes are disseminated after each meeting. The board has chosen to have some designated roles to facilitate organization such as President, Treasurer, Secretary and a Community Outreach/Block Captain Lead member. The mission of the overall neighborhood group can be found on the Facebook page and blog. If the mission statement is updated and/or longterm and short term goals are formulated/discussed, they will be detailed in the minutes. The designated roles of board members will be discussed at the next Executive Board meeting and will be sent out to the general membership.</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">
--The primary goal of SON at this time is to facilitate growing an active community within Sherwood Oaks. The primary goal of the SON Executive Board is to act as a unified voice on behalf of SON amongst the Council of Neighborhood Associations (CONA) and and represent SON within the City of Bloomington.</div>

Darryl Neher, our City Councilman, <span style="color: #222222;">and Tom Micuda, the Bloomington Director of Planning and Transportation, will be at our next Sherwood Oaks Neighbors meeting to discuss plans for the south side of Bloomington. This will be an excellent opportunity to ask questions and give input on development on our side of town. As you have probably noticed, the property behind Pizza Hut is for sale and zoned for multi-family use so this is one area of concern. In addition to the south side discussion we will also plan our December luminary display. If you are going to go to any Sherwood Oaks meeting this year, this is probably THE one to attend. We are not doing meeting announcement flyers this time because they do not appear to be terribly effective. What does work is word of mouth. Please invite your neighbors to the meeting and feel free to print this e-mail post to give to them. Thank you!!</span></div>

Posted: Thursday, June 26, 2014 5:33 am | Updated: 9:03 am, Thu Jun 26, 2014.<br />
<br />
The Friends of the Monroe County Public Library has received a $5,000 grant from the Duke Energy Foundation to buy “Little Free Libraries” for 15 neighborhoods. These mailbox-sized libraries have been called an “international movement” by the New York Times. The “take a book, return a book” tiny libraries foster better relationships, improve literacy and get neighbors to talk to one another. <br />
<br />
Friends of the Library will promote awareness of the mailbox-sized libraries. Participating neighborhood associations will install the little libraries, promote use through association communications, maintain collections and structure and report on impact. Lowe’s will donate materials and labor and they will be built by R. Martin Woodworks. <br />
<br />
“We are very excited about having a Little Free Library in our neighborhood and have in fact been talking about doing this for some months,” said Carol Gulyas, president of the Near West Side Neighborhood Association. <br />
<br />
Karen Franks, president of the Monroe County Friends of the Library, added, “This is a wonderful extension of the excellent services extended to our community each and every day. It is exciting to be part of an international <br />
<br />
“One of the areas of focus for the Duke Energy Foundation<br />
Calloway, Duke Energy Monroe County community relations manager. “Little Free Libraries are a creative way to cultivate a love of reading within the community.” <br />
<br />
The Little Free Libraries will begin appearing in neighborhoods in mid-summer. <br />
