REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Jenny Connelley, Engineering Tech
Shawn Kohtz, City Engineer
Mitch Reister, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT:Resolution 5223, a Resolution of Intent of the Bozeman City Commission to
Change the Street Name of Dead Mans Gulch to Cattail Street
MEETING DATE:December 22, 2020
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:Proceed with the street name change process; approve Resolution of Intent
(Commission Resolution 5223, attached) and direct staff to bring back a final
resolution to change the street name "Dead Mans Gulch” to “Cattail Street.”
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.1 Informed Conversation on Growth: Continue developing an in-depth
understanding of how Bozeman is growing and changing and proactively
address change in a balanced and coordinated manner.
BACKGROUND:On January 9, 1975, a plat was filed for Gardner – Simmental Plaza
Subdivision. As noted on the plat, “…the lands included in the road right of
way shown on said plat, except as otherwise noted, were granted, donated
and dedicated to the use of the public forever”. One of those roads was
Dead Mans Gulch. It is being recommended to change the street name of
Dead Mans Gulch to Cattail Street as it aligns with the existing portion of
Cattail Street and Dead Mans Gulch is no longer a desirable street name. A
medical clinic is being planned on this street, and the developer of the clinic
prefers not to have the name of the road "Dead Mans Gulch. This change
will provide consistency with our street network and follows Strategic Plan
Item 3- A Safe, Welcoming Community, as well as Strategic Plan Item 4 – A
Well Planned City.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None Identified
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:Cost of replacing the street name markers is estimated to be $500.

CITY ENGINEERING STAFF REPORT
Proposal to change the street name “Dead Mans Gulch” to “Cattail Street”
Background
Dead Mans Gulch is an east-west street in the City limits of Bozeman that terminates
at N. 19th Avenue to the west and Simmental Way to the east. The street is one block
in length and aligns with Cattail Street, which is an east-west City Street located
west of N. 19th Avenue. Dead Mans Gulch is bounded to the east by Interstate 90
right-of-way.
Over the past year, the City has seen a lot of interest in development adjacent to
Dead Mans Gulch in the Gardner-Simmental Plaza Subdivision. Most recently,
Bozeman Health has expressed interest in purchasing a property adjacent to Dead
Mans Gulch for development of a future health care facility. Bozeman Health has
indicated to the City that addressing a health care facility off of “Dead Mans Gulch”
was problematic for their business. Bozeman Health has asked that the street name
is changed and is actively working with City Engineering to facilitate this request.
Impact on adjacent property
Only two parcels of land are adjacent to Dead Mans Gulch. The south property
currently operates as an equipment rental business. Although this property is
accessed off of Dead Mans Gulch, the property is addressed off of North 19th Avenue.
The proposed name change is anticipated to have negligible impact on this property.
The north property is up for development and has initiated the requested street
name change.
Impact on Traffic & Accessibility
As mentioned above, Cattail Street is an existing City Street that aligns with Dead
Mans Gulch. The proposed name change will improve the consistency of Bozeman’s
Street network by continuing an existing street name (Cattail Street) along a similar
alignment and removing an unnecessary street name (Dead Mans Gulch). This
change will not impact accessibility of the City’s street network.
Impact on Fire, Police, and Other Emergency Services
The City Engineering Department will notify all emergency services of the proposed
name change, should it get approved. In addition, the City’s GIS Department will
3
update online and hard copy City maps to reflect this change. Impact to police, fire,
and other emergency services will be negligible.
Impact on Garbage Collection and Maintenance
The City Engineering Department will notify our solid waste department of the
street name change, should it be approved. Impact to the City’s solid waste
department will be negligible.
Impact on Private & Public Utilities
Renaming the proposed street will have no apparent impact on private or public
utilities.
Alternatives to Vacation
The street name could be left as “Dead Mans Gulch.” The street would continue to
function as is.
Recommendation
Renaming “Dead Mans Gulch” to “Cattail Street” can be done without detriment to
the public interest, and is the preferred alternative. Renaming the street would
allow for better consistency in our street network.
