The Hopewell is a planned neighborhood on the former site of the IU Health Bloomington Hospital.

Local residents are invited to vote on select names for two new lanes planned for Hopewell South, the city’s redevelopment of the former main hospital.

By Sept. 15, the city had received more than 130 suggestions and narrowed the entries down to five:

  • W. Fellowship Ln.
  • W. Heartwell Ln.
  • W. Perseverance Ln.
  • W. Possibility Ln.
  • W. Welcome Ln.

In an email statement, Housing & Neighborhood Development Director Anna Killion-Hanson says that it’s important that the identity of Hopewell South reflects the values of the people who call Bloomington home.

“Allowing the Bloomingtonians, this project is designed for, to have a voice in naming these lanes just makes sense.” Killion-Hanson says.

Voting is done through a google form on the city’s website.

WFIU/WTIU News is an independent newsroom rooted in public service.

“Act Independently” is one of the basic creeds of journalism ethics, and we claim it proudly. The WFIU/WTIU News facilities are located on the campus of Indiana University, which does hold our broadcast license and contribute funding to our organization. However, our journalists and senior news leaders have full authority over journalistic decisions — what we decide to cover and how we tell our stories. We observe a clear boundary: Indiana University and RTVS administrators focus on running a strong and secure organization; WFIU/WTIU journalists focus on bringing you independent news you can trust.
