The Bloomfield Development Corporation has been working with the Mayor’s Office and has installed six new bike racks, with more to come. And the post office has responded to our request to either clean up or replace the graffiti-riddled mailboxes.

If you are interested in having a bike rack installed in front of your business, contact Terry Aiello at terry@bloomfieldnow.com.
