Results of a traffic count taken on l5 February 1961 by the State Highway
.' Commission at Main Street intersections with Rouse, Grand, Seventh, Eighth and
Tenth Avenues were presented. Based on these findings and data from other pre-
. '
vious studies, the Clty Manager made the following recommendations:
1. That traffic lights at the intersection of Main Street and
Grand Avenue, similar to existing installations and at an
estimated cost of $4,000.UO, be authorized and approved for
installation under the 1961-l962 Fiscal Year Budget and the
Manager be authorized to accept the offer of the Montana State
Highway Commisslon to prepare plans and speciflcations for
this project.
2. That further consideration of traffic lights at the inter-
section of Main Street and Rouse Avenue be deferred pending
construction of the Interstate Highway through Bozeman since
the cost of lnstallation does not appear to be justified at
this time.

Main Street with Seventh and Eighth Avenues continue to be
included in planning for the reconstructlon of North Seventh
