STRATEGIC PLAN:7.5. Funding and Delivery of City Services: Use equitable and sustainable sources of funding for appropriate City services, and deliver them in a lean and efficient manner. BACKGROUND:Montana Code Annotated, Section 7-6-4301 requires claims to be presented to the City Commission within one year of the date the claims accrued. Claims presented to the City Commission under this item have been reviewed and validated by the Finance Department. The Department has ensured that all goods and services have been received along with necessary authorizations and supporting documentation. In addition to the weekly check issue, please provide approval for checks dated August 23 thru September 6, as there was no commission meeting on September 5. UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None ALTERNATIVES:The City Commission could decide not to approve these claims or a portion of the claims presented. This alternative is not recommended as it may result in unbudgeted late fees assessed against the City. FISCAL EFFECTS:The total amount of the claims to be paid is presented at the bottom of the Expenditure Approval List posted on the City’s website at https://www.bozeman.net/departments/finance/purchasing. Report compiled on: August 29, 2023 38 Memorandum REPORT TO:City Commission FROM:Susana Montana, Senior Planner Brian Krueger, Development Review Division Manager Erin George, Deputy Director of Community Development Anna Bentley, Director of Community Development SUBJECT:Approve the Finding of Fact and Order for the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat, Application 22311 (Quasi-Judicial) MEETING DATE:September 12, 2023 AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Community Development - Quasi-Judicial RECOMMENDATION: Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the Findings of Fact and Order for the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat to divide a 95.41 acre parcel zoned REMU and B-2M to create 7 buildable lots, 1 City park, 2 common open space lots, road rights-of-way and one 63.68 acre restricted development lot, and to approve the two subdivision variance requests detailed in Section 2 of the staff report. STRATEGIC PLAN:4.2 High Quality Urban Approach: Continue to support high-quality planning, ranging from building design to neighborhood layouts, while pursuing urban approaches to issues such as multimodal transportation, infill, density, connected trails and parks, and walkable neighborhoods. BACKGROUND: Aaker Phase 1 is a major subdivision Preliminary Plat application to divide a 95.41 acre property into 11 lots consisting of 6 multi-household lots, 1 City park lot, 1 commercial lot, 2 open space lots, and 1 restricted development lot. The property has two zoning designations: REMU, Residential Emphasis Mixed Use, and B-2M, Community Business—Mixed. The restricted lot, labeled Tract B, is zoned both REMU and B-2M. The 6 residential lots, 1 commercial lot, 2 open space lots and the City park lot are zoned REMU and constitute the first phase of development of this subdivision (“Phase 1”). The Tract B Restricted Lot would be developed at a later phase and would require a subsequent subdivision application and approval prior to its development. The REMU zoned land has an approved Master Site Plan. The City Commission reviewed and considered this application at their 39 August 5, 2023, public meeting. By a vote of 4 to 0, the Commission unanimously approved of the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat with staff-recommended conditions and applicable code provisions and approved the two subdivision variance requests detailed in Section 2 of the staff report. UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None. ALTERNATIVES:None suggested. FISCAL EFFECTS:Fiscal impacts cannot be determined at this time, but it is expected that property tax would be generated by development of the Site and increased costs to provide municipal services for that development would be expected. No unusual fiscal effects have been identified.

The link to the video of this meeting can be found at the highlighted text. There were some suggestions by Commissioners, the Mayor and Deputy Mayor to the Applicant when considering the preparation of the Final Plat submittal; they included: • Preserve as much of the wetlands and the mature trees thereof as possible; • Since the land has been in agricultural use for 100 years, consider incorporating community gardens into the development to take advantage of that good soil; • Design the project as a holistic neighborhood with housing and neighborhood-serving commercial activity to make the neighborhood walkable; 41 City Commission Findings of Fact and Order (FOF) Staff Report for the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat; Application 22311 Page 2 of 41 • Show sensitivity to the wetlands when developing the project and “work with what nature has given us”; • Take advantage of the affordable housing incentives that the City offers and provide a mixture of affordable housing types; • Investigate the option of qualifying for housing tax credits to provide affordable housing; and • Take direction from the historic farming use of the land when designing the buildings within the project; give a “nod” to its historic past. August 15, 2023, City Commission Motion: “Having reviewed and considered the staff report, application materials, public comment, Planning Board recommendation, and all the information presented, I hereby adopt the findings presented in the staff report for application 22311 and move to approve the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat with conditions and subject to all applicable code provisions and approve the two subdivision variance requests detailed in Section 2 of the staff report.” Project Description: A major subdivision Preliminary Plat application to divide a 95.41 acre property into 11 lots consisting of 6 multi-household lots, 1 City park lot, 1 commercial lot, 2 open space lots, and 1 restricted development lot.

The application materials are available in the City’s Laserfiche archive and may be accessed through the Community Development viewer as well. No public comments have been received as of the writing of this report. Should written public comments be received they will be included in the City’s Laserfiche archive and available to the public. Unresolved Issues. Condition No. 1 of the Preliminary Plat staff report states that approval of the Preliminary Plat is contingent upon the Director of Community Development’s approval of the concurrent Aaker REMU Master Site Plan (MSP), Application 22381. In REMU, Residential Emphasis Mixed Use Districts, development of lands therein must be consistent with an adopted Master Site Plan per BMC 38.310.060. B.1. The Community Development Board, acting as the Design Review Board, reviewed the MSP on July 18, 2023 and, by a unanimous 6 to 0 vote, recommended approval of the MSP to the Director of Community Development. On August 16, 2023, the Director signed the MSP staff report approving the application. Condition No. 1 of this Preliminary Plat has been met. Project Summary The Department of Community Development received a Preliminary Plat Application on November 15, 2022 requesting to subdivide the 95.41 acre parcel (“Site”) into 7 buildable lots (14.62 acres), 1 City park (8.76 acres), 2 common open space lots (0.52 acres total), road Rights- of-way (7.82 acres) and 1 restricted development lot (63.68 acres). The Restricted Lot, Tract B, would be reserved for future development in subsequent phases and would require a separate subdivision application. The Site has been used for grazing and irrigated crops. The Site is zoned both REMU and B-2M, Community Business—Mixed Use Districts. The Site will have access from the east from continuation of West Kagy Boulevard and Remington Way. The Site will extend both South 23rd Avenue and South 25th Avenue from the north to the new Kagy Blvd. extension within the Site. The southern border of the Site fronts on Stucky Road and extensions from internal roads southward to Stucky Rd. would take place in later phases when the Restricted Lot Tract B is developed. 43 City Commission Findings of Fact and Order (FOF) Staff Report for the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat; Application 22311 Page 4 of 41 The northern and western boundaries of this Site border a 21 acre, narrow band of unincorporated farmland owned and operated by Montana State University (MSU) as part of their 474 acre Bozeman Agricultural Research and Teaching Facility (BART). On May 23, 2023 the Development Review Committee (DRC) found the application sufficient for continued review and recommends the conditions and code provisions identified in this report. The final decision for this Preliminary Plat must be made within 60 days of the application being deemed complete; in this case, by August 21, 2023.

Request 1 – Sec. 38.400.010.A.1, BMC. Relation to Undeveloped Area. The first variance request is to eliminate the requirement to extend Remington Way to the western property boundary. Section 38.400.010.A.1 states, “When a proposed development adjoins undeveloped land, and access to the undeveloped land would reasonably pass through the new development, streets and alleys within the proposed development must be arranged to allow the suitable development of the adjoining undeveloped land. Streets and alleys within the proposed development must be constructed to the boundary lines of the tract to be developed, unless prevented by topography or other physical conditions. If the development being reviewed is a subdivision, a required for an alteration of this standard must be processed as a subdivision variance.” The Applicant requested a variance to not extend Remington Way to the western extent of the property stating “there IS critical watercourse and wetland presenting a major site constraint. The general philosophy of the neighborhood is to protect the existing ecosystems wherever possible. Requiring this extension across this significant watercourse would fragment this critical watercourse/wetland habitat for limited positive benefit. Furthermore, there is a significant permitting obstacle to get this roadway approved by the Army Corps of Engineers because it would be challenging to demonstrate the need for this local street when the adjacent property will have access to Kagy Boulevard (Principal Arterial) approximately 600’ south of Remington Way. The intent of this code standard is to ensure that adjacent properties have both adequate physical/legal access and to enhance the overall connectivity of Bozeman. This is evident in the Bozeman Transportation Plan and the planned future transportation network. The future transportation network shows that there will be two collectors (Lincoln Road & South 27th Avenue), and a principal arterial street (Kagy Boulevard) all serving the adjacent property. The extension of Remington Way through the park does little to improve the overall connectivity of the larger City network and is unnecessary. Furthermore, when looking at Remington Way as a whole, it doesn’t extend much further to the east of our project site, so as a local street it does little to enhance the overall east/west connectivity of the larger transportation system. Finally, in this case, the site directly adjacent to the subject parcel is one large landowner (State of Montana) with several existing access points, all of which are either collectors or arterial streets. These factors make extending Remington Way unnecessary.” City Response: The Applicant has provided information to address the variance criteria outlined in BMC 38.250.080. Based on the information provided with this application, City staff supports this variance request. 50 City Commission Findings of Fact and Order (FOF) Staff Report for the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat; Application 22311 Page 11 of 41 2. Request 2 – Sec. 38.420.060.A. Frontage. The second variance request is to eliminate the overall park frontage requirement for the proposed Public Park A lot within the subdivision. Section 38.420.060.A states, “Parkland, excluding linear trail corridors, must have frontage along 100 percent of its perimeter on public or private streets or roads. The City may consider and approve the installation of streets along less than 100 percent, but not less than 50 percent, of the perimeter when: 1. Necessary due to topography, the presence of critical lands, or similar site constraints; and/or 2. When the following elements are included: a. When direct pedestrian access is provided to the perimeters without street frontage; b. When additional land area is provided in the park to accommodate the off-street parking which would have otherwise been provided by the additional length of perimeter streets and the additional land is developed as a parking area; or c. When additional land area is provided in the park to accommodate the off-street parking which would have been provided by the additional length of perimeter streets and, in lieu of the constructed parking area, an equivalent dollar value of non-parking improvements within the park are provided according to the individual park plan.” The Applicant requested a variance to not provide 100 percent frontage on the “Public Park A” Lot stating “The overall park system for Aaker looks to capitalize and enhance the existing wetlands in the area. This is evidenced in the way the park lots are drawn. All of the park lots will encompass a portion of the critical wetland, which runs north/south across the whole property in two locations. Couple this critical land and the extension of the street grid make it impossible to meet the park frontage requirements set out in the code. If you look at the park system as a whole, the park frontage goes up from 45% in phase 1 to over 75% when the project is complete. The Block 1 Lot 1 development area aims to create a community use that will enhance and interact with the park. The specific design of this structure is unknown at this time but it should be noted that proposed program aims to create a larger community benefit. This lot will be privately maintained/operated but the hope is that it will function similarly to a park amenity. Another goal of the Block 1 lot is that it be integrated into the park system as to feel as if it were an extension of the park. There is a chance that the parcel to the west of this, if ever developed, will be a park given the dimensions of it and the extension of South 27th Avenue north. It appears that South 27th (collector 90’ ROW) will bend around the existing farm building hugging closely to the Aaker property boundary. This leaves little development potential for this sliver of land. It is likely 51 City Commission Findings of Fact and Order (FOF) Staff Report for the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat; Application 22311 Page 12 of 41 that this sliver of left over ground would be converted to park land. This would increase the overall park frontage and likely get the park well above the 50% requirement. Lastly, many of the Aaker parks could be considered Linear Parks, which may logically not be subject to individual park frontage requirements.” Exhibit 6: Parks Master Plan 52 City Commission Findings of Fact and Order (FOF) Staff Report for the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat; Application 22311 Page 13 of 41 Exhibit 7: Park landscape Sheet L001 City Response: The Applicant has provided information to address the variance criteria outlined in BMC 38.250.080.

Collectively this information is the record of the review. The analysis in this report is a summary of the completed review. Applicable Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 38.240.150.B, BMC. In considering applications for subdivision approval under this title, the advisory boards and City Commission shall consider the following: 1) Compliance with the survey requirements of Part 4 of the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act The Preliminary Plat was prepared in accordance with the surveying and monumentation requirements of the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act by a Professional Engineer registered in the State of Montana. As noted in the code requirements, the Final Plat must comply with State statute, Administrative Rules of Montana, and the Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC). 2) Compliance with the local subdivision regulations provided for in Part 5 of the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act The Final Plat must comply with the standards identified and referenced in the Bozeman Municipal Code. The subdivider is advised that unmet code provisions, or code provisions not specifically listed as a condition of approval, do not, in any way, create a waiver or other relaxation of the lawful requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code or State law. Sections 3 and 4 of this report identify conditions and code provisions necessary to meet all municipal standards. The listed code requirements address necessary documentation and compliance with standards. Therefore, upon satisfaction of all conditions and code corrections the subdivision will comply with the subdivision regulations. 3) Compliance with the local subdivision review procedures provided for in Part 6 of the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act The Bozeman Planning Board public meeting and City Commission public meetings were properly noticed in accordance with the Bozeman Municipal Code. Based on the recommendation of the Development Review Committee (DRC), the Planning Board, and other applicable review agencies, as well as any public testimony received on the matter, the City Commission makes the final decision on the subdivider’s request. The Department of Community Development received a pre-application review request on November 15, 2022. On December 23, 2022, the Applicant submitted a Preliminary Plat application and the DRC determined that the submittal did not contain detailed, supporting information that was sufficient to allow for the continued review of the proposed subdivision. 63 City Commission Findings of Fact and Order (FOF) Staff Report for the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat; Application 22311 Page 24 of 41 A revised application was received on February 3, 2023. The DRC determined the application was adequate for continued review on May 23, 2023 and recommended conditions of approval and code corrections for the staff report. The Applicant posted public notice on the subject property and sent public notice to physically adjacent landowners via certified mail, and to all other landowners of record within 200-feet of the subject property via first class mail on June 28, 2023. The public comment period is June 28 to August 8, 2023. No public comment had been received on this application as of the writing of this report. On August 4, 2023, a major subdivision Preliminary Plat staff report was completed and forwarded with a recommendation of conditional approval for consideration to the City Commission. The City Commission held a public meeting on the application on August 15, 2023 and unanimously, by a vote of 4 to 0, moved to approve the Preliminary Plat with conditions and code provisions. This Finding of Fact and Order report verifies the Commission’s August 15th decision on the application and in Section 7 outlines provisions for appeal of that decision. 4) Compliance with Chapter 38, BMC and other relevant regulations Community Development staff and the DRC reviewed the Preliminary Plat against all applicable regulations and the application complies with the BMC and all other relevant regulations with conditions and code corrections. This report includes Conditions of Approval and required Code Provisions as recommended by the DRC for consideration by the City Commission to complete the application processing for Final Plat approval. All municipal water and sewer facilities will conform to the regulations outlined by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality and the requirements of the Design Standards and Specifications Policy and the City of Bozeman Modifications to Montana Public Works Standard Specifications. The two subdivision variance requests for street exemption and park frontage modifications have been evaluated, are supported by City staff, and were granted by the City Commission on August 15, 2023. 5) The provision of easements to and within the subdivision for the location and installation of any necessary utilities The Final Plat will provide and depict all necessary utilities and required utility easements. Code Provisions 9 and 14 require that all easements, existing and proposed, to be accurately depicted and addressed on the Final Plat and in the Final Plat application. Public utilities are located within dedicated street right-of ways. Code Provision 14 requires the provision of agricultural water user facility easements prior to Final Plat approval. Code Provision 14a and 15a require the Applicant to secure written permission from the Middle Creek Ditch Company and all applicable water users for the alteration to the ditch for road crossings and other alterations. 64 City Commission Findings of Fact and Order (FOF) Staff Report for the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat; Application 22311 Page 25 of 41 6) The provision of legal and physical access to each parcel within the subdivision and the notation of that access on the applicable plat and any instrument transferring the parcel The Final Plat will provide legal and physical access to each lot within the subdivision. All of the proposed lots will have frontage on public streets constructed to City standards with lot frontage meeting minimum standards shown on the Preliminary Plat. Per Code Provision 10b, only Lot 1 of Block 1 will be allowed to have physical access from West Kagy Boulevard, a principal arterial roadway. 38.220.060 Documentation of compliance with adopted standards The Development Review Committee (DRC) completed a subdivision pre-application plan review on May 31, 2022 and no waivers from submittal requirements were requested. The pre-application review was Application 22194 and was called West University subdivision, however the project has since been renamed to Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision. Staff offers the following summary comments on the documents required with Article 38.220.060, BMC. 38.220.060.A.1 – Surface water A Wetland Delineation report was prepared by TerraQuatics for the entire Aaker property and has been included as Appendix M of the application materials. Historically and currently this site has been used for agricultural crop production and grazing. The results of that study show that there are three wetland systems within the Aaker property and all three systems include a non- wetland waterway that appears to convey ground water and Middle Creek Ditch Irrigation Water. Included in the study are several figures and map delineating the wetland systems. The link to the study is found at the highlighted text. Furthermore, those wetland systems are depicted on the Civil Plan Sheets. An Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) 404 permit is currently being prepared to mitigate all USACE jurisdictional wetland impacts with the proposed Aaker Phase 1 Subdivision. Pursuant to Code Provision 3, all such permits must be approved and provided to the Community Development Department with the Final Plat submittal. Code Provision 4 assures that the required watercourse setback is provided to the wetlands. The West Fork of Catron Creek runs north south on the western portion of the property, and the East Fork of Catron Creek runs north south on the more eastern side of the property. The West Fork is proposed to be diverted to the western wetlands via a diversion pipe. Code Provision 15f protects these creek waters by the following language on the Conditions of Approval Sheet of the 65 City Commission Findings of Fact and Order (FOF) Staff Report for the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat; Application 22311 Page 26 of 41 Final Plat: "The ownership and maintenance of the pipe which diverts the perennial or intermittent and flood flows from the existing irrigation ditch to the west fork of the Catron Creek on the north side of West Stucky Road is the responsibility of the subdivision property owners' association (POA)." Code Provision 5c requires the following language to be included on the Conditions of Approval Sheet to assure the proper maintenance of private stormwater facilities: "The maintenance of all subdivision stormwater facilities outside the public right-of-way, including stormwater facilities within the park parcel, is the responsibility of the subdivision property owners’ association (POA). The maintenance of all private lot stormwater facilities is the responsibility of the private lot property owners' association (POA)." 38.220.060.A.2 - Floodplains A Flood Hazard Evaluation (FHE) has been completed and the results of that study are included as Appendix N of the Preliminary Plat application materials. The existing conditions model results show that the 100-year inundation area is mostly contained within the area that was also delineated as wetlands and is within the 50’ watercourse setback area. The results of the model for the proposed conditions show that there is some backwater created by the new road crossings for Kagy Blvd., but that the additional flooded area is within the watercourse setback and on the subject property. A comparison of the existing conditions and proposed conditions are included in the FHE study. 38.220.060.A.3 - Groundwater Groundwater monitoring was conducted throughout the 2022 season and is provided in the Geotechnical Report Appendix O of the Preliminary Plat materials. Depth to seasonal high groundwater varied from near the surface in the wetlands to about 3-4’ below ground at the proposed lots. Groundwater is generally flowing to the north. Proposed street and lot grading will raise the developed portions of the site approximately 2-3’ resulting in a typical depth to seasonal high groundwater in developed areas of about 5-7’. Due to the high groundwater, Code Provision No. 5a requires the following language on the Conditions of Approval Sheet of the Final Plat: "This is a known area of high groundwater. No crawl spaces or basements may be constructed. Sump pumps are not allowed to be connected to the sanitary sewer system. Sump pumps are not allowed to be connected to the drainage system. Water from sump pumps may not be discharged into streets, such as into the curb and gutter where they create a safety hazard for pedestrians and vehicles.” 66 City Commission Findings of Fact and Order (FOF) Staff Report for the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat; Application 22311 Page 27 of 41 38.220.060.A.4 - Geology, Soils and Slopes Allied Geotech conducted a field investigation of the Site in 2021 and developed recommendations for development of the Site in a report dated August 2022. A copy of that report is included in this application as Appendix O of the Preliminary Plat application materials. Geologic Hazards There are no known natural geologic hazards on the property. The property is comprised of an undeveloped agricultural field that is mostly flat, falling slightly to the north at less than 2 percent. This site does experience high ground water which is not uncommon for Bozeman. Due to this factor several building recommendations have been provided to mitigate any future development. Unusual Features The property has wetlands, an agricultural irrigation ditch and has high groundwater. There are no slopes greater than 15% on site. Soils Map A soils map and NRCS soil information is included in the Geotechnical Report. Cuts and Fills It is not anticipated that cuts or fills will exceed 3’ for the project. 38.220.060.A.5 - Vegetation The Montana Natural Heritage Program (MTNHP) maintains a statewide database for natural and human land cover. The property is shown to consist of: Rocky Mountain Lower Montane, Foothill, and valley grassland; and Cultivated Crops. Additionally, the MTNHP identities two emergent wetlands onsite which have been depicted on all of the civil drawings and further studied in the Surface Water Report & Floodplain study (see Exhibit 8 below). The existing wetland will be preserved in parkland: Block 1, Public Park A lot for Phase 1 and an un-named Block and Lot in the current Tract B for future phases. The wetland impacts are limited to two road crossings, a park trail and a pedestrian bridge. These impacts will be mitigated through the US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) permitting process if the USACE determines the wetlands are jurisdictional under their authority. If the wetlands are determined to be non- jurisdictional by USACE, the City wetland code provisions of BMC 38.610.010 must be satisfied prior to Final Plat approval (see Code Provisions 2, 3 and 4). 67 City Commission Findings of Fact and Order (FOF) Staff Report for the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat; Application 22311 Page 28 of 41 Exhibit 8: Existing wetlands and ditch on the Site 38.220.060.A.6 - Wildlife Due to efforts to preserve the wetlands on the Site, this subdivision is not expected to significantly impact wildlife. 38.220.060.A.7 - Agriculture The property has been in agricultural operation in recent history. This subdivision, in and of itself, is not expected to have an adverse effect on surrounding agricultural operations. 38.220.060.A.8 - Agricultural Water User Facilities Middle Creek Ditch runs through the property. The Applicant notified Middle Creek Ditch Company of their intentions to develop the property and underground the creek through the property (see Appendix AA) of the Preliminary Plat application materials. Tentative approval for this activity has been given to the Applicant by the Middle Creek Ditch Company and Code Provisions 14a and 15a require written approval from the Ditch Company and downstream water users prior to Final Plat approval. ditch 68 City Commission Findings of Fact and Order (FOF) Staff Report for the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat; Application 22311 Page 29 of 41 38.220.060.A.9 - Water and Sewer The subdivision will not significantly impact City water and sewer infrastructure. Water and sewer improvements will be designed to meet City of Bozeman Standards and State Department of Environmental Quality Standards and Regulations. Per Code Provision 11, the diversion pipe conveying West Fork Catron creek flows from Middle Creek Ditch back to the original West Fork Catron Creek channel must be able to convey the 100- year flood flows. Code Provision 12 assures water adequacy to the Site and assures water rights to the City. Code Provision 13 assures water adequacy and water rights related to landscaping of public lands within the proposed Park. 38.220.060.A.10 - Stormwater Management The subdivision will not significantly impact stormwater infrastructure. 38.220.060.A.11 - Streets, Roads and Alleys At full buildout of Phase 1, the Aaker development is projected to generate 3,442 gross average weekday trips, with 251 trips (89 entering/162 exiting) generated during the AM peak hour and 315 trips (176 entering/139 exiting) generated during the PM peak hour. Tract B is the Restricted Development Lot and any development thereon would have a new subdivision and a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) associated with proposed development therein. Phase 1 (2026) capacity results with the existing street network show similar results at all intersections compared to Existing Conditions (2022), except for the Kagy Boulevard/South 11th Avenue intersection. That intersection is projected to operate at LOS D on average during both peak hours with LOS D or worse on the Kagy Boulevard approaches. The northbound approach at the Kagy Boulevard/South 7th Avenue intersection is projected to worsen to LOS E during both the AM and PM peak hours. The proposed new site access intersections on Kagy Boulevard will be stop-controlled and are all projected to operate at LOS A during both peak hours. The results of the Future (2037) intersection capacity calculations show that delay and 95th percentile queuing is projected to become extreme at the Kagy Boulevard/South 11th Avenue intersection, particularly on the east and west approaches. The Kagy Boulevard/South Willson Avenue intersection is projected to worsen to LOS D and E on multiple approaches with extremely lengthy queues on most approaches during both peak hours. The South 19th Avenue/Kagy Boulevard is anticipated to improve from LOS D to LOS C on the westbound approach in the AM and worsen to LOS D on the southbound approach in the PM. The South 19th Avenue/West 69 City Commission Findings of Fact and Order (FOF) Staff Report for the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat; Application 22311 Page 30 of 41 College Street and South 19th Avenue/West Garfield Street intersections are projected to continue to operate at a failing LOS on both the eastbound and westbound approaches. At the stop- controlled intersection of Kagy Boulevard/South 7th Avenue, the northbound and southbound approaches are projected to operate at a failing LOS. All other intersections and approaches, including the new site access intersections, are projected to operate at LOS C or better during both peak hours. This is a link to the TIS: The TIS recommended the following Capacity Improvements: South 19th Avenue/West College Avenue: West College Street and Kagy Boulevard intersections showed little improvement, with both projected scenarios to remain at LOS D on the east and west legs. It is recommended, due to existing and projected future capacity conditions, that the timing and coordination plan for the entire corridor be reevaluated by MDT/the City of Bozeman to maximize capacity and ensure efficient and safe operations. South 19th Avenue/West Garfield Street: Without impacting the coordination plan along South 19th Avenue, some minor signal timing changes were evaluated in the corridor. The South 19th Avenue/West Garfield Street intersection can be improved to operate at LOS C or better on all approaches through minor timing changes for the 2026 scenario and remains LOS D in the AM for the Future (2037) scenario. South 19th Avenue/Kagy Boulevard: Minor timing changes and the addition of an eastbound right-turn overlap phase were shown to slightly improve delay for the Phase 1 (2026) scenario, with the east and west legs still operating at LOS D. In the Future (2037) scenario, dual southbound left-turn, and dual westbound right-turn lanes will likely become necessary due to extremely large volumes projected to perform those movements. Other associated changes would include two receiving lanes on the east leg and retiming the signal to provide a protected-only phase for southbound left turns. It was also found that removing the pedestrian phases crossing South 19th Avenue resulted in improved delay metrics. Both Condition of Approval No. 3 and Code Provision No.10 require the Applicant to pay their fair share of improvements to the street network anticipated to be impacted by the subdivision development. With those requirements, the Aaker Phase 1 Subdivision is not expected to adversely impact the City’s street infrastructure and will provide adequate improvements to support the development and the existing neighborhoods by completing the street grid in the area. Per Code Provision 6, street names must be reviewed and approved by the County's geographic information systems and City Engineering Department prior to Final Plat approval. The Applicant must submit written approval from both entities with the Final Plat application. 70 City Commission Findings of Fact and Order (FOF) Staff Report for the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat; Application 22311 Page 31 of 41 Per Code Provision 10b, Block 1, Lot 1 is the only lot fronting on West Kagy Blvd that will be allowed physical access to and from that street as it is bordered by the Public Park A on its north and east sides and by MSU Ag land on its west side. It is noted that the requested subdivision variance from BMC 38.400.010.A.1 to allow Remington Way to terminate at South 25th Avenue and not continue to the western boundary of the subdivision is supported by City staff (see Section 2 above) and was approved by the City Commission at their August 15, 2023 public meeting on this application. The Preliminary Plat provides a 60’foot wide street easement through the Public Park A lot in lieu of a developed street. This is to avoid encroaching on the wetland through the Park unless the MSU lands to the west is developed and an extension of Remington Way is necessary. 38.220.060.A.12 – Non-Municipal Utilities The Applicant has received confirmation of future service from Northwestern Energy and internet providers. 38.220.060.A.13 - Land Use The subdivision will not significantly impact land use. The Phase 1 subdivision will create 7 buildable lots which are expected to accommodate a mix of townhomes, rowhouses and mixed- use apartments over commercial space. This Phase 1 of the Aaker subdivision proposes construction of a 10,000 square-foot neighborhood-serving commercial center, 250 mid-rise apartment units, 104 single-family attached housing units, and 136 mid-rise apartment units with 20,000 square-feet of commercial/office uses on the first floor. In total, there are 490 proposed residential units. An 8.84-acre public park is also proposed. The development is anticipated to be completed in phases, with all of Phase 1 constructed by 2026. 71 City Commission Findings of Fact and Order (FOF) Staff Report for the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat; Application 22311 Page 32 of 41 Exhibit 9: Proposed land use map. Exhibit 10: Land Use Table 72 City Commission Findings of Fact and Order (FOF) Staff Report for the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat; Application 22311 Page 33 of 41 38.220.060.A.14 - Parks and Recreation Facilities As noted above and shown on Exhibit 6, the subdivision will provide an 8.84 acre City Park. Code Provision No. 16 assures that the park will be properly dedicated to the City with proper improvements and water supply. It is noted that the Park is bordered on its north and west side by private property owned by MSU and street frontage cannot be provided on those sides via this subdivision without significantly reducing the size of the Public Park A lot and, possibly reducing the area of the wetlands. The Applicant has requested a subdivision variance to exempt the park from street frontage on its north and west sides; this is supported by City staff (see Section 2 above) and was granted by the City Commission at the August 15, 2023 public meeting on this application. 73 City Commission Findings of Fact and Order (FOF) Staff Report for the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat; Application 22311 Page 34 of 41 38.220.060.A.15 - Neighborhood Center Plan The subdivision Park Master Plan provides a neighborhood center in the Public Park A lot as shown below in the yellow box. Exhibit 11: Neighborhood Center shown in the yellow box 38.220.060.A.16 - Lighting Plan The subject property is located within the Meadow Creek Subdivision Signal and Sewer payback district boundaries. If the subject property did not participate in the original cost of construction 74 City Commission Findings of Fact and Order (FOF) Staff Report for the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat; Application 22311 Page 35 of 41 of improvements the subject property will be accessed a payback charge prior to Final Plat approval. Staff recommends Code Provision No. 8 to assure proper street lighting. 38.220.060.A.17 - Miscellaneous The proposed subdivision is not located within 200 feet of any public land access or within a delineated Wildland Urban Interface area. No health or safety hazards on-site or off-site will be created with this development. 38.220.060.A.18 - Affordable Housing It is not anticipated that affordable housing, as defined by BMC 38.700.020, is to be provided, although the Commission at the August 15, 2023 meeting on this application strongly urged the Applicant to investigate affordable housing incentives offered by the City as well as investigate the eligibility of the neighborhood for tax credit financing of affordable housing for this development. 38.220.060.A.19 – Adopted Growth Policy This proposal furthers relevant adopted growth policies of the Bozeman Community Plan. The subdivision is zoned both REMU and B-2M. Refer to Appendix A below, Project Site Zoning and Growth Policy for further discussion on the adopted growth policies this proposal positively addresses. SECTION 7 - FINDINGS OF FACT, ORDER AND APPEAL PROVISIONS A. PURSUANT to Chapter 38, Article 3, BMC, and other applicable sections of Chapter 38, BMC, public notice was given, opportunity to submit comment was provided to affected parties, and a review of the Preliminary Plat described in these findings of fact was conducted. B. The purposes of the Preliminary Plat review were to consider all relevant evidence relating to public health, safety, welfare, and the other purposes of Chapter 38, BMC; to evaluate the proposal against the criteria and standards of Chapter 38 BMC, BMC; and to determine whether the plat should be approved, conditionally approved, or denied. C. The matter of the Preliminary Plat application was considered by the City Commission at a public meeting on August 15, 2023 at which time the Department of Community Development Staff reviewed the project, submitted and summarized the project proposal, and summarized the public comment submitted to the City prior to the public meeting. D. The Applicant acknowledged understanding and agreement with the recommended conditions of approval, code provisions including the changes to the conditions of approval. E. The City Commission requested public comment at the public meeting on August 15, 2023 and there were no public comments offered. 75 City Commission Findings of Fact and Order (FOF) Staff Report for the Aaker Phase 1 Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat; Application 22311 Page 36 of 41 F. It appeared to the City Commission that all parties and the public wishing to examine the proposed Preliminary Plat and offer comment were given the opportunity to do so. After receiving the recommendation of the relevant advisory bodies established by Article 38.210, BMC, and considering all matters of record presented with the application and during the public comment period defined by Chapter 38, BMC, the City Commission has found that the proposed Preliminary Plat would comply with the requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code if certain conditions were imposed. Therefore, being fully advised of all matters having come before her regarding this application, the City Commission makes the following decision. G. The Preliminary Plat has been found to meet the criteria of Chapter 38, BMC, and is therefore approved, subject to the conditions listed in Section 3 of this report and the correction of any elements not in conformance with the standards of the Chapter including those identified in Section 4 of this report. The evidence contained in the submittal materials, advisory body review, public testimony, and this report, justify the conditions imposed on this development to ensure that the Final Plat, subsequent site plan(s) and subsequent construction complies with all applicable regulations, and all applicable criteria of Chapter 38, BMC. H. This City Commission order may be appealed by bringing an action in the Eighteenth District Court of Gallatin County, within 30 days after the adoption of this document by the City Commission, by following the procedures of Section 76-3-625, MCA. The preliminary approval of this phased subdivision shall be effective for three (3) years from the date of the signed Findings of Fact and Order approval.

BACKGROUND:On April 4, 2023, the City of Bozeman signed a construction agreement with Roset and Associates Inc. to construct an expansion to the City of Bozeman Solid Waste Facility. This project is to include expanding the office space within the building and add additional garaged parking for Solid Waste Dept. vehicles. As part of the construction process, a Special Inspector is often contracted to provide an independent third party analysis of critical construction materials and structural components such as concrete and structural steel. This ensures that all major construction activities are in accordance with the specifications detailed in the construction documents. In order to minimize construction delays on this project, two prequalified engineering firms were solicited for bids and the contract was awarded to the lowest cost respondent.

Independent Contractor Status/Labor Relations: The parties agree that Contractor is an independent contractor for purposes of this Agreement and is not to be considered an employee of the City for any purpose. Contractor is not subject to the terms and provisions of the City’s personnel policies handbook and may not be considered a City employee for workers’ compensation or any other purpose. Contractor is not authorized to represent the City or otherwise bind the City in any dealings between Contractor and any third parties. Contractor shall comply with the applicable requirements of the Workers’ Compensation Act, Title 39, Chapter 71, Montana Code Annotated (MCA), and the Occupational Disease Act of Montana, Title 39, Chapter 71, MCA. Contractor shall maintain workers’ compensation coverage for all members and employees of Contractor’s business, except for those members who are exempted by law.

In the event that, during the term of this Agreement, any labor problems or disputes of any type arise or materialize which in turn cause any services to cease for any period of time, Contractor specifically agrees to take immediate steps, at its own expense and without expectation of reimbursement from City, to alleviate or resolve all such labor problems or disputes. The specific steps Contractor shall take shall be left to the discretion of Contractor; provided, however, that Contractor shall bear all costs of any related legal action. Contractor shall provide immediate relief to the City so as to permit the services to continue at no additional cost to City. Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold the City harmless from any and all claims, demands, costs, expenses, damages, and liabilities arising out of, resulting from, or occurring in connection with any labor problems or disputes or any delays or stoppages of work associated with such problems or disputes. 7. Indemnity/Waiver of Claims/Insurance: For other than professional services rendered, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor agrees to release, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City, its agents, representatives, employees, and officers (collectively referred to for purposes of this Section as the City) from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, fees and costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees and the costs and fees of expert witness and consultants), losses, expenses, liabilities (including liability where activity is inherently or intrinsically dangerous) or damages of whatever kind or nature connected therewith and without limit and without regard to the cause or causes thereof or the negligence of any party or parties that may be asserted against, recovered from or suffered by the City occasioned by, growing or arising out of or resulting from or in any way related to: (i) the negligent, reckless, or intentional misconduct of the Contractor; or (ii) any negligent, reckless, or intentional misconduct of any of the Contractor’s agents. For the professional services rendered, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor agrees to indemnify and hold the City harmless against claims, demands, suits, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable defense attorney fees, to the extent caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of the Contractor or Contractor’s agents or employees. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, Contractor’s indemnification obligations do not include any portion of the damages, claims, expenses, or other liability that arises from City’s own negligence, errors, omissions, or misconduct. Such obligations shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce other rights or obligations of indemnity that would otherwise exist. The indemnification obligations of this Section must not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce any common-law or statutory rights of the City as DocuSign Envelope ID: 7AB08755-2E3A-4C34-9AA2-AA1C24BAA262 128947 Professional Services Agreement for Voluntary Benefits Broker Page 4 of 12 indemnitee(s) which would otherwise exist as to such indemnitee(s). Contractor’s indemnity under this Section shall be without regard to and without any right to contribution from any insurance maintained by City. Should the City be required to bring an action against the Contractor to assert its right to defense or indemnification under this Agreement or under the Contractor’s applicable insurance policies required below but for professional liability, the City shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and attorney fees incurred in asserting its right to indemnification or defense but only if a court of competent jurisdiction determines the Contractor was obligated to defend the claim(s) or was obligated to indemnify the City for a claim(s) or any portion(s) thereof. In the event of an action filed against the City resulting from the City’s performance under this Agreement, the City may elect to represent itself and incur all costs and expenses of suit. Contractor also waives any and all claims and recourse against the City, including the right of contribution for loss or damage to person or property arising from, growing out of, or in any way connected with or incident to the performance of this Agreement except “responsibility for [City’s] own fraud, for willful injury to the person or property of another, or for violation of law, whether willful or negligent” as per 28-2-702, MCA. These obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement and the services performed hereunder. In addition to and independent from the above, Contractor shall at Contractor’s expense secure insurance coverage through an insurance company or companies duly licensed and authorized to conduct insurance business in Montana which insures the liabilities and obligations specifically assumed by the Contractor in this Section. The insurance coverage shall not contain any exclusion for liabilities specifically assumed by the Contractor in this Section. The insurance shall cover and apply to all claims, demands, suits, damages, losses, and expenses that may be asserted or claimed against, recovered from, or suffered by the City without limit and without regard to the cause therefore and which is acceptable to the City.

With population growth of more than 40% in the last decade, the continued growth of Montana State University, pandemic-era changes to an increasingly mobile workforce, and seemingly more and more “Best Places to Live” mentions in our national media…there’s no end in sight to this growth. Fueled by the pressure of this population growth, the City of Bozeman has also been forced to grow, both in terms of number of staff and the number of services provided to the community. In 2023, the current staff is comprised of approximately 480 employees serving our community across a wide variety of departments & roles.Given rising inflation, skyrocketing cost of living, and new opportunities available in our growing community, the potential for increased turnover is present for many organizations in the Gallatin Valley, including the City of Bozeman. Simply put, it’s very expensive to get into a cycle of hiring, training, re-hiring, re-training. However, research has shown that creating and maintaining an engaged culture can help organizations to better retain employees.Taking the time to gather employee feedback…their thoughts and perceptions…can yield new perspectives, ideas, and other valuable managerial information that can help to shape the culture of the organization and combat turnover.North Star Consulting Group has been asked to present an online survey research solution that provides a secure, anonymous forum for employees to provide candid feedback on key aspects of City of Bozeman’s culture that can be measured and tracked over time and utilized in action planning.153 project stepsPage 3The following four steps outline North Star’s proposed approach for this employee feedback initiative:1. Questionnaire DevelopmentNorth Star Consulting Group will partner with a representative(s) from the City of Bozeman to research and develop a customized survey that best fits its specific needs. This survey will be developed to be utilized both for this and subsequent employee engagement research projects so that trends can be identified over time. North Star has a bank of 90+ employee engagement questions that can serve as a starting point for questionnaire development and provides benchmarking value in final reporting. That said, we also commonly work with our clients to craft surveys that include both existing and new questions. North Star has a solid track record of partnering with our clients to develop customized employee engagement surveys for large organizations.2. Online Survey Tool DevelopmentFollowing the completion of the questionnaire design with the City of Bozeman, North Star will build out a customized, online survey that aligns with the City of Bozeman branding. The survey will be secure, reliable, and user-friendly. Following industry best practice, steps will be taken to communicate and ensure the anonymity of all employee respondents. The City of Bozeman will have final approval of the appearance of the survey tool. A survey example is provided in this proposal to give a better idea of the possible look/functionality of one of North Star’s surveys. Additional examples/demos can be provided upon request. (continued)154 Page 4project steps3. Survey ParticipationEmployees will receive an email from the City of Bozeman’s HR group or other senior leadership that directs employees to the online survey link. North Star is also available to administer email invitations, if preferred, but employee survey links are typically distributed internallyto help ensure deliverability and add credibility. North Star will work with the City of Bozeman to successfully facilitate the collection of their employee feedback. Achieving a participation rate of 70% or higher is recommended. Our work history demonstrates our ability to smoothly administer large survey projects that meet or exceed that threshold. North Star has well-trained and professional support staff to competently handle all technical and customer service inquiries via telephone and/or e-mail. A link to an online report showing real-time completion numbers will be provided to help inform leadership on how many internal reminders may be needed throughout the process.4. Data Analysis & ReportingAt the completion of the survey participation phase, North Star will analyze these employee data and provide customized reporting. Reporting can be provided at varying levels of complexity depending on City of Bozeman‘s informational needs. These needs can be determined through the course of further discussion and North Star will work with City of Bozeman to arrive at a report format that meets the primary objectives. Commonly requested reporting options/formats are specified in the pricing details provided in this proposal.North Star leadership is available to discuss the final reports via phone, email, online conferencing, or local visit to be sure your team fully understands the reporting deliverables.Note : The City of Bozeman will have advanced approval on reporting deliverables to ensure information is presented in a user-friendly & easily-understandable format. Analysis options include:•Standard statistical measures for scaled questions (mean, frequency distributions, etc.)•Open Comment/Verbatims (segmentation by department or similar category)•Demographic Cross-Tabulation (Age, Tenure, Compensation, etc.)•Additional analysis available by request155 Notes : Employee feedback initiatives are generally administered once per year. The first survey cycle will take approx. 5-8 weeks from survey design through final reporting & follow-on discussion. In subsequent years, barring major changes to the survey or project scope, the project will generally take approximately 4-5 weeks from start to finish. project schedulePage 5Planning & Design (Approx. 1-2 weeks)Survey Participation (Approx. 2-3 weeks)Project ScheduleResponsibility Month 1 Month 2Data Analysis & Reporting (Approx. 1-2 weeks)Online Survey Tool Development (Approx. 1 week)North Star & City of BozemanNorth StarNorth StarNorth Star & City of BozemanDiscussion w/ North Star: Report Interpretation156 Page 6Survey demo link: https://www.northstarsurveys.net/s3/CityofBozemansurvey example157 pricingPage 7North Star’s estimated professional fees ($USD) for your employee engagement research initiative are provided below:•Initial Consulting – Questionnaire & Metric Development•$1750.

STRATEGIC PLAN:4.3 Strategic Infrastructure Choices: Prioritize long-term investment and maintenance for existing and new infrastructure. BACKGROUND:City of Bozeman Solid Waste Division presented two Bozeman City Commission work sessions over the past year focused on a proposed citywide compost and recycling program. As an outcome of the final work session, Staff was directed to advance a bundled service package that would provide for trash, recycling, and compost collection for a single flat rate. The goal of this bundled service package, as opposed to an opt-in service, will be to encourage additional recycling and compost participation as means of advancing the city's climate and sustainability initiatives. The effectiveness of bundled solid waste service in achieving those goals will therefor be a function of the number of residents who choose the city of Bozeman as their solid waste provider. The city's consultant, Burns & McDonnell, will assist in developing a proposed rate structure for FY25 and beyond. After receiving Commission input, Staff presented a similar work session to the City of Bozeman Sustainability Board focused on receiving guidance for plan rollout, education, and encouragement. As an outcome of this session, Staff proposes a customer survey to gauge immediate interest in the expanded service package as means of informing current and future Capital and Operating costs. Results of this survey will allow Staff and consultant to refine costs for totes, trucks, and staff before ramping up the bundled service program in summer of 2024. Burns & McDonnell recognizes the importance of gaining community support through active participation of the public via an on-line survey of 163 the City’s single-family, multi-family and commercial/industrial customers. The survey will focus on customer’s interest in potential new recycling and organics collection programs, as well as the participation and pricing structure. Further, understanding that the City may have an interest in conducting a solid waste management plan, the survey will incorporate questions that would typically be included as a part of the plan development process. UNRESOLVED ISSUES:Capital and Operating cost of bundled service plan. ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the Commission. FISCAL EFFECTS:This increases the study's cost to the Solid Waste fund by $16,300.

SCOPE OF WORK Burns & McDonnell recognizes the importance of gaining community support through active participation of the public via an on-line survey of the City’s single-family, multi-family and commercial/industrial customers. The survey will focus on customer’s interest in potential new recycling and organics collection programs, as well as the participation and pricing structure. Further, understanding that the City may have an interest in conducting a solid waste management plan, the survey will incorporate questions that would typically be included as a part of the plan development process. Task 1 – Develop On-line Survey of Bozeman Customers For the City to evaluate its solid waste and recycling system and the community’s adaptability to potential changes, we will conduct a public survey of the City’s customers, which would include single-family, multi-family and commercial/industrial. After having a virtual meeting with City staff, we will develop a survey instrument to define appropriate parameters. Survey focal points will be agreed upon between our project team and City staff. Locally specific factors affecting services, operations, and rates will also be identified and emphasized in the survey design and will be customized between the customer types. Specifically, there will be different segments of the survey based on whether someone is a single-family, multi-family or commercial/industrial customer. Subject to City approval, the survey may include questions about how customers are willing to go to undertake change in its solid waste and resource recovery activities, their acceptance of new policies, what the community is willing to pay to implement program enhancements, and 6200 Bridge Point Parkway \ Austin, TX 78730 O 512-872-7130 \ F 512-872-7127 \ burnsmcd.com 167 Mr. Kevin Handelin August 17, 2023 Page 2 determine a fiscal tipping point, and other important data related to program expansion and improvement. Our budget assumes that Burns & McDonnell will administer the survey on-line via a tool such as Survey Monkey. Burns & McDonnell has accounted for one revision of the survey instrument to ensure a proficient survey form is developed that is suitable for Burns & McDonnell and the City. Our survey approach is designed to obtain public input and may not be statistically valid, as the intent will be to encourage broad participation from customers. Our proposal is based on the assumption that the City promote the survey via website, press releases, announcements at Commission meetings and/or utility bill inserts. TASK 1 DELVIERABLES ► Draft survey instrument (Word document) ► Final survey instrument (Word document and on-line in Survey Monkey) Task 2 – Survey Analysis and Virtual Meeting Once the data has been collected and summarized, Burns & McDonnell will analyze the information collected from City customers and provide our key findings. We will conduct one virtual meeting with City staff to review the results. TASK 2 DELVIERABLES ► Draft results and survey analysis ► Virtual meeting to discuss survey results Task 3 – Draft and Final Report Burns & McDonnell will develop a report summarizing the findings. The draft report will be provided to the City for review and comment. We will conduct one virtual meeting with City staff to review the draft report. Comments received from the City will be incorporated, as appropriate, and a final report will be delivered. TASK 3 DELIVERABLES ► Draft and final report ► Virtual meeting to discuss draft report SCHEDULE Burns & McDonnell will complete Task 1 within 30 days of the Notice to Proceed. Task 2 will be completed no later than three weeks following the close of the survey. We will provide the 168 Mr. Kevin Handelin August 17, 2023 Page 3 draft report no later than three weeks after completing the virtual meeting included in Task 2. The final report will be delivered within three weeks of receiving comments for the draft report. FEE Provided below are the proposed fee by task. We will invoice the City for each task on a percent complete basis.

STRATEGIC PLAN:4.3 Strategic Infrastructure Choices: Prioritize long-term investment and maintenance for existing and new infrastructure. BACKGROUND:Attached is Resolution 5529 which will establish Right of Way across portions of the Sports Park property necessary to complete the Cottonwood Road improvements project between Oak and Baxter. Cottonwood Road is a north/south principal arterial that is critical to the City’s transportation network and to the full development and utilization of the sports park property. Construction is currently underway on the missing link between Oak and Baxter. Without this link, Flanders Mill Road (a local street) is being overwhelmed with traffic that should be using Cottonwood instead. Completion of this link will provide access to the entire western frontage of the sports park property where a large parking lot is planned for the future. The project will also provide a shared use path along the sports park frontage. Currently there are no north/south pedestrian facilities on the property. There is an existing roundabout at Oak and a new one will be installed at Baxter with the current project. Additional right of way is needed at both intersections on the sports park property to accommodate the roundabouts with the shared use path. The City Attorney’s office has determined that the Commission can make a determination the road improvements are consistent with the approved uses and funding of the property and by resolution establish and create the necessary right of way. This was also the process used for the test well project in the southeast corner of the 176 property. We believe the road project is consistent with the approved uses in that it provides the necessary access to the west side of the property and provides multimodal facilities for park users. An exhibit is attached to the resolution which shows the areas needed for the right of way. UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the City Commission. FISCAL EFFECTS:None Attachments: Resolution 5529 with Exhibit.pdf Report compiled on: August 10, 2023 177 178 179 180 181 Memorandum REPORT TO:City Commission FROM:Bob Murray, Project Engineer Shawn Kohtz, City Engineer SUBJECT:Resolution 5532 authorizing Change Order No. 1 with Treasure State Inc. for the Cottonwood Road - Oak to Baxter Project. MEETING DATE:September 12, 2023 AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Resolution RECOMMENDATION:Resolution 5532 authorizing Change Order No. 1 with Treasure State Inc. for the Cottonwood Road - Oak to Baxter Project. STRATEGIC PLAN:4.3 Strategic Infrastructure Choices: Prioritize long-term investment and maintenance for existing and new infrastructure. BACKGROUND:Attached is a copy of resolution 5532 and change order number 1 for the above referenced project. The change order includes two items. The first corrects an error that was made in the bid award and executed contract documents. As with most City projects, the bid schedule included a miscellaneous work item for $100,000. This item is used to cover changes in the work that come up during the course of construction. The software used by the electronic bidding service the City uses did not include it in the total price for the schedule. Instead it kept it separate as an “allowance item”. As a result, the award and subsequent contract should have been $100,000 higher than they were. This change will add that bid item back in. The second item is to add V-Bio wrap to the 36” water main in Baxter Lane. This will help protect the main against corrosion as potentially corrosive soils were found during the excavations. This item will add $19,300.68 to the contract price. There is no change in contract time associated with this change order. UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None. ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the City Commission. FISCAL EFFECTS:Increase of $119,300.68 from $7,955,703.50 to 8,075,004.18 (Project Number SIF086 and SIF138 and BARSAA gas tax – Budget $8,882,124.26).

STRATEGIC PLAN:4.2 High Quality Urban Approach: Continue to support high-quality planning, ranging from building design to neighborhood layouts, while pursuing urban approaches to issues such as multimodal transportation, infill, density, connected trails and parks, and walkable neighborhoods. BACKGROUND:The applicants and property owners, Susan A. and Per M. Hjalmarsson, 1603 Bridger Drive, Bozeman, MT 59715, seek annex approximately 0.7417 acres into the City limits and establish initial zoning of R-2, Residential Moderate Density. The property is currently zoned “Residential Suburban” within the county. Nearby municipal zoning includes Residential Single-Household Low Density (R-1) to the north and Residential Suburban (R-S) to the south. Land to the east and west is unincorporated and zoned “Residential Suburban” within the county. The future land use map in the Bozeman Community Plan 2020 designates the property as “Urban Neighborhood” which the R-2 district serves to implement. There is an existing residential structure on the property. The Commission held a public hearing on the request on February 14, 2023 and acted to approve the application including the requested zoning designation. The applicant finalized all required contingencies of of zoning and associated terms of annexation for the related annexation.

Report compiled on: August 31, 2023 198 Memorandum REPORT TO:City Commission FROM:Addi Jadin, Park Planning and Development Manager Mitch Overton, Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT:Approval of Resolution 5502, Adopting the Parks, Recreation, and Active Transportation Plan MEETING DATE:September 12, 2023 AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Plan/Report/Study RECOMMENDATION:Approval of Resolution 5502, Adopting the Parks, Recreation, and Active Transportation Plan STRATEGIC PLAN:6.5 Parks, Trails & Open Space: Support the maintenance and expansion of an interconnected system of parks, trails and open spaces. BACKGROUND:BACKGROUND: In early 2021, staff and the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board (RPAB) began the effort to commence the revision of the city's comprehensive plan for parks, recreation and trails. With the creation of the Urban Parks and Forestry Board (UPFB) by the City Commission via Resolution 5328, the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board (RPAB) was disbanded and UPFB assumed the responsibility to evaluate the Parks, Recreation and Active Transportation Plan from drafting through adoption. The existing plan, the Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Trails Plan (PROST), was adopted December 17, 2007. The purpose of the 2021-2022 planning process was to create a new, overarching document that assesses and makes recommendations to provide for sufficient parkland, recreation/aquatics programs, active transportation options and facilities for Bozeman citizens. The plan will also guide the expansion of these essential services as the community grows and changes. The recommendations in the plan are based on an updated review of community needs and priorities and will be used as the basis for revising and creating land use regulations, procedures and criteria for identifying appropriate locations and designs for parks, pathways and related facilities in substantial compliance with the PRAT Plan. While the PRAT Plan was created after robust public engagement, the scope and opportunity for public participation and comment on site-specific development in substantial compliance with the PRAT Plan will be limited only to those impacts or significantly increased impacts that were not previously identified 199 and considered in the adoption, amendment, or update of the PRAT Plan and implementing zoning and subdivision regulations. The plan also makes recommendations regarding the role of the parks, recreation, and active transportation systems in fulfilling the goals of recently adopted and applicable City of Bozeman plans and guiding documents such as the Bozeman Community Plan, Climate Action Plan, the County Triangle Trails Plan, and other professional, industry metrics. Lastly, the plan has recommendations and supporting appendices that will improve the efficacy of the Parks and Recreation Department's tasks including master park plan review, individual park site plan review and recreational programming, cost-recovery and marketing. A Request for Proposals (RFP) for professional services for the Parks, Recreation and Active Transportation Plan (PRAT Plan) was advertised in March of 2021 and the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Agency Landscape and Planning on July 13, 2021. The First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement was authorized by the City Commission on September 20, 2022 to include city-wide wayfinding for active transportation within the scope of the project. The wayfinding plan, when complete, will be the first amendment to Appendix 2 - Design Manual. The Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement was authorized by the City Commission on May 16, 2023 to allow a revised scope of work to address comments from the Urban Parks and Forestry Board, City Commission and the public that are outside of the initial scope of work but important to the completion of the project and consistent with public engagement thus far. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY: The Public Engagement Plan for the PRAT Plan provided continuous and extensive public notice, review, comment and participation in compliance with the Montana Land Use Planning Act. A variety of methods were used as described in Chapter 2 of the PRAT Plan including online and in-person, formal and informal opportunities for input. Staff and the consultant team attended and planned events in parks, at schools and online to solicit input and gave presentations aimed at audiences of all ages. During the 15-month engagement process, the project team engaged over 900 community members and stakeholders. A statistically valid survey was returned by 401 households exceeding the minimum by over 33%. In addition, the Public Engagement Plan included very specific outreach for groups of people who are systemically marginalized during traditional planning processes; therefore, the plan includes specific direction on eliminating exclusionary practices and reducing barriers to the community health outcomes provided by parks and recreation for people with disabilities, Black, Latino, Indigenous and other people of color. PRAT PLAN DRAFTS AND REVISIONS: 200 The PRAT Plan Work Session Draft was made available to the public via the Engage Bozeman PRAT webpage (engage.bozeman.net/pratplan) on November 23, 2022 with several appendices. On January 12, 2023 the Active Transportation chapter was released along with revised drafts of the Design Manual and the Implementation chapter. Public Comment on prior drafts is now closed. The PRAT Plan Final Draft and Design Manual Final Draft were made available to the public on May 26, 2023 and the Urban Parks and Forestry Board began their final public meetings reviewing the documents. After their 4 meetings, they approved a motion to recommend approval of the PRAT Plan and related documents to the City Commission with their amendments. The amended plan was published on September 1, 2023 and is attached to this memo. The significant changes to the PRAT Plan made in response to work session comments made by the Advisory Boards, City Commission and the public include the following: Document Simplification and Accessibility Improvements - Format was changed for readability, font and colors were darkened to provide more clarity for people with visual impairments and a full accessibility scan was completed. Clarification and Emphasis of Plan Goals, Actions and Priorities - The PRAT Plan's 5 Goals have been renamed to emphasize and more specifically name the community assets they are aimed at and to include action-oriented language that can be championed over the lifetime of the Plan. The Goals now clearly emphasize how the PRAT Plan builds off of other completed City documents and important directions in the Strategic Plan such as the Climate Action Plan and Sustainability (Goals 3 and 4), Sensitive Lands Study (Goal 4), equity work/Belonging in Bozeman (Goal 1). A summary of the Goals, Strategies and Actions was added at the beginning of the document and emphasis was placed on the Vision of the document as being crafted from the 5 Goals. Original Goal Revised Goal Balance system uniqueness with providing safe, equitable access to all. Build on Bozeman's unique strengths while creating welcoming, equitable access to all spaces and programs. Strengthen the system in alignment with changing community needs and trends. Strengthen programs, places and partnerships to meet changing community needs. Connect and experience all that Bozeman has to offer. Connect Bozeman's community with safe and enjoyable pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Steward and experience Bozeman's natural resources. Steward and sustain natural resources across the parks and trails system. 201 Grow and sustain staff and resources to benefit the community. Grow staff and capacity to benefit the community. Prioritization - High priority investments for facilities and programs that were identified in the statistically valid survey are added into the Implementation Chapter. The list was expanded from the Top 5 to the Top 10 to show the depth and breadth of the community's interests that more accurately reflects the work of the Parks and Recreation Department. Additionally, the Top 10 policy recommendations needed to enact the strategies and actions were developed by staff and added into the Implementation Chapter. ADOPTION: The UPFB forwarded their recommendation of the PRAT Plan as amended to the City Commission for final adoption at their meeting on August 14, 2023. The amended plan was subsequently published on the project website on September 1, 2023 and is attached to this memo. With the adoption of the PRAT, the City Commission will also formally adopt the Gallatin County Triangle Trails Plan as described in the Resolution. The Design Manual will be adopted initially by the City Commission with the PRAT Plan and the authority to make amendments is thereafter granted to the City Manager. The Wayfinding Plan will be included as the first amendment to the Design Manual when it is complete. Due to changes to the Montana Land Use Planning Act in Senate Bill 382, the Community Development Board (planning commission) also reviewed the PRAT Plan, an issue plan, for compliance with the Bozeman Community Plan 2022 (land use plan) and forwarded a recommendation of approval to the City Commission. See attached Resolution. The Community Development Board hearing was July 3, 2023. The UPFB began their review of the final draft on June 22, 2023 and continued the discussion to July 6, July 27, and again to a special meeting on August 14, 2023 at which time they concluded their amendments and moved to incorporate them into a draft for commission review. To submit public comment on the PRAT Plan Final Draft, please email agenda@bozeman.net or you may submit oral testimony during public meetings as described in the meeting agendas. RESOLUTION 5502: Resolution 5502 contains key findings related to the adoption of the PRAT Plan by the City Commission including compliance with the new Montana Land Use Planning Act. The Resolution includes language to signify that the Gallatin County Triangle Trails Plan is being adopted along with the PRAT Plan as a tool that may influence development at the edge of the City. 202 Resolution 5502 also indicates that the Design Manual will be amended periodically through Administrative Action of the City Manager. UNRESOLVED ISSUES:N/A ALTERNATIVES:N/A FISCAL EFFECTS:If approved, Implementation of the Parks, Recreation, and Active Transportation Plan will have future budgetary impacts on Divisions within the Parks and Recreation Department. Those requests will be reviewed by the City Commission during the budget process.

The purpose of the survey was to help prioritize services and guide the growth of the Parks, Recreation and Active Transportation system and programming for the next 10 years. This is the first survey ETC Institute has conducted for the City of Bozeman. Methodology The six-page survey, cover letter and postage-paid return envelope were mailed to a random sample of households in the City of Bozeman. The cover letter explained the purpose of the survey and encouraged residents to either return their survey by mail or complete the survey online. At the end of the online survey, residents were asked to enter their home address; this was done to ensure that only responses from residents who were part of the random sample were included in the final survey database. Ten days after the surveys were mailed, ETC Institute sent emails to the households that received the survey to encourage participation. The emails contained a link to the online version of the survey to make it easy for residents to complete the survey. The goal was to obtain completed surveys from at least 300 residents. This goal was far exceeded, with a total of 401 residents completing the survey. The overall results for the sample of 401 households have a precision of at least +/-4.9% at the 95% level of confidence. This report contains the following: • Charts showing the overall results of the survey (Section 1) • Priority Investment Rating (PIR) that identifies priorities for facilities & programs (Section 2) • Benchmarking analysis comparing Bozeman’s results to national results (Section 3) • Tabular data showing the overall results for all questions on the survey (Section 4) • A copy of the survey instrument (Section 5) VISITATION AND RATINGS OF PARKS, TRAILS AND FACILITIES Park Visitation: Most (97%) of the households indicated they have visited parks, trails and recreational facilities offered within the City of Bozeman during a typical year. More than one-third (36%) visit daily, 41% visit weekly, 18% visit monthly, and 6% visit once or twice a year. Ratings of Parks, Trails and Facilities: When respondents who visited parks, trails and recreational facilities in Bozeman were asked to rate the various amenities, 93% who had an opinion rated trails (natural, gravel, or paved) as “excellent” or “good.” Other amenities that were rated as “excellent” or “good” include: park(s) (91%), sidewalks (64%), and paved shared-use bike/pedestrian pathways (63%). Respondents gave the lowest rating to aquatic facility(ies) (29% “excellent” or “good”). 2022 Bozeman Parks and Recreation Survey: Findings Report 212 ETC Institute (2022) Page iii 2022 Bozeman Parks and Recreation Survey Executive Summary One-fourth (25%) of respondents have visited a park or recreation facility daily over the past five years; 43% have visited weekly, 21% have visited monthly, 10% have visited once or twice a year, and 2% indicated they never visited a park or recreation facility over the past five years. Based on the sum of their top two choices, the biggest barriers to the usage of parks, trails or facilities were: 1) no time to visit parks, trails or facilities, 2) parks, trails and facilities do not have amenities I want, and 3) parks, trails and facilities are not well maintained. When asked about barriers to walking or biking for recreation or to access City parks and facilities, the top responses were: 1) threat of vehicle collisions/operator behavior, 2) existing bike lanes/paths are in poor condition, and 3) the weather is often inclement. FACILITY NEEDS AND PRIORITIES Facility Needs: Respondents were asked to identify if their household had a need or desire for 28 parks and recreation facilities and rate how well their needs for each were currently being met. Based on this analysis, ETC Institute was able to estimate the number of households in the community that had the greatest “unmet” need for various facilities. The four parks and recreation facilities with the highest percentage of households that indicated a need for the facility were: trails, gravel or natural surface (82%), trails, paved (73%), pavilions and picnic areas (62%), and water access for recreation (59%). When ETC Institute analyzed the needs in the community, these same four facilities had a need that affected more than 12,000 households. ETC Institute estimates a total of 7,615 households in Bozeman that have a need, have unmet needs for outdoor pools. The estimated number of households that have unmet needs for each of the 28 facilities that were assessed is shown on the following page. 2022 Bozeman Parks and Recreation Survey: Findings Report 213 ETC Institute (2022) Page iv 2022 Bozeman Parks and Recreation Survey Executive Summary Facility Importance: In addition to assessing the needs for each facility, ETC Institute also assessed the importance that residents placed on each. Based on the sum of respondents’ top four choices, the most important facilities to residents were: trails, gravel or natural surface (62%), trails, paved (39%), dog parks (23%), and indoor pools (22%). The percentage of residents who selected each facility as one of their top four choices is shown in the chart on the following page. 2022 Bozeman Parks and Recreation Survey: Findings Report 214 ETC Institute (2022) Page v 2022 Bozeman Parks and Recreation Survey Executive Summary Priorities for Facility Investments: The Priority Investment Rating (PIR) was developed by ETC Institute to provide organizations with an objective tool for evaluating the priority that should be placed on parks, trails, recreational facilities, and services. The PIR equally weighs (1) the importance that residents place on facilities and (2) how many residents have unmet needs for the facility. [Details regarding the methodology for this analysis are provided in Section 2 of this report.] Based the Priority Investment Rating (PIR), the following six facilities were rated as high priorities for investment: • Trails, gravel or natural surface (PIR=150) • On-road bike lanes or facilities (PIR=135) • Indoor pools (PIR=134) • Outdoor pools (PIR=134) • Trails, paved (PIR=127) • Nature centers (PIR=105) 2022 Bozeman Parks and Recreation Survey: Findings Report 215 ETC Institute (2022) Page vi 2022 Bozeman Parks and Recreation Survey Executive Summary The chart below shows the Priority Investment Rating for each of the 28 facilities that were assessed on the survey. RECREATION PROGRAMS AND EVENTS Participation in/Ratings of Bozeman Recreation Programs and Events: Twenty-two percent (22%) of households indicated they participated in recreation programs and events offered by the City of Bozeman Parks and Recreation Department prior to March 2020. When respondents were asked to rate the overall quality of programs and events in which they participated, 82% who had an opinion gave ratings of “excellent” or “good.” Based on the sum of their top two choices, the biggest barriers to participation in parks and recreation programming were: 1) not aware of programs offered, 2) no time to participate in programming, and 3) types of programming not interesting, relevant, or desired. 2022 Bozeman Parks and Recreation Survey: Findings Report 216 ETC Institute (2022) Page vii 2022 Bozeman Parks and Recreation Survey Executive Summary PROGRAMMING NEEDS AND PRIORITIES Programming Needs. Respondents were asked to identify if their household had a need for 18 recreation programs and rate how well their needs for each were currently being met. Based on this analysis, ETC Institute was able to estimate the number of households in the community that had “unmet” needs for each program. The four programs with the highest percentage of households that had needs were: winter recreation (57%), arts and culture (54%), aquatics or swimming (51%), and fitness (49%). When ETC Institute analyzed the needs in the community, all four of these programs had a need that affected more than 10,000 households. ETC Institute estimates a total of 8,384 households in Bozeman that have a need, have unmet needs for aquatics or swimming programs. The estimated number of households that have unmet needs for each of the 18 programs that were assessed is shown below. 2022 Bozeman Parks and Recreation Survey: Findings Report 217 ETC Institute (2022) Page viii 2022 Bozeman Parks and Recreation Survey Executive Summary Program Importance. In addition to assessing the needs for each program, ETC Institute also assessed the importance that residents place on each program. Based on the sum of respondents’ top four choices, the most important programs to residents were: aquatics or swimming (36%), winter recreation (36%), arts and culture (33%), and fitness (26%). The percentage of residents who selected each program/activity as one of their top four choices is shown in the chart below. Priorities for Programming Investments. Based on the priority investment rating (PIR), which was described briefly on page v of this Executive Summary and is described in more detail in Section 2 of this report, the following eight programs were rated as “high priorities” for investment: • Aquatics or swimming (PIR=200) • Arts and culture (PIR=175) • Winter recreation (PIR=174) • Fitness (PIR=142) • Etiquette programs for park and trail users (PIR=125) 2022 Bozeman Parks and Recreation Survey: Findings Report 218 ETC Institute (2022) Page ix 2022 Bozeman Parks and Recreation Survey Executive Summary • Outdoor adventure (PIR=125) • History (PIR=119) • Outdoor education (PIR=107) The chart below shows the Priority Investment Rating (PIR) for each of the 18 programs that were rated. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS When analyzing the facilities and programs offered by the Bozeman Parks and Recreation Department, trails, winter recreation, arts and culture, and aquatics or swimming programs were the items for which the highest number of residents had a need. Focusing on these items would provide the greatest benefit for the largest number of residents within the City. Making certain the City’s availability of facilities and programming encompasses the greatest number of households ensures funding is appropriately allocated to give the community the greatest benefit possible. 2022 Bozeman Parks and Recreation Survey: Findings Report 219 ETC Institute (2022) Page x 2022 Bozeman Parks and Recreation Survey Executive Summary In order to ensure that Bozeman continues to meet the needs and expectations of the community, ETC Institute recommends that the City sustain and/or improve the performance in areas that were identified as “high priorities” by the Priority Investment Rating (PIR). The facilities and programs with the highest PIR ratings are listed below. Facility Priorities o Trails, gravel or natural surface (PIR=150) o On-road bike lanes or facilities (PIR=135) o Indoor pools (PIR=134) o Outdoor pools (PIR=134) o Trails, paved (PIR=127) o Nature centers (PIR=105) Programming Priorities o Aquatics or swimming (PIR=200) o Arts and culture (PIR=175) o Winter recreation (PIR=174) o Fitness (PIR=142) o Etiquette programs for park and trail users (PIR=125) o Outdoor adventure (PIR=125) o History (PIR=119) o Outdoor education (PIR=107) 2022 Bozeman Parks and Recreation Survey: Findings Report 220 1 Charts and Graphs: 2022 Bozeman Parks and Recreation Survey: Findings Report ETC Institute (2022)Page 1221 Q1.

The Priority Investment Rating was developed by ETC Institute to identify the facilities and programs residents think should receive the highest priority for investment. The Priority Investment Rating reflects the importance residents place on items (sum of top 4 choices) and the unmet needs (needs that are only being partly met or not met) for each facility/program relative to the facility/program that rated the highest overall. Since decisions related to future investments should consider both the level of unmet need and the importance of facilities and programs, the PIR weights each of these components equally. The PIR reflects the sum of the Unmet Needs Rating and the Importance Rating as shown in the equation below: PIR = UNR + IR For example, suppose the Unmet Needs Rating for playgrounds is 26.5 (out of 100) and the Importance Rating for playgrounds is 52 (out of 100), the Priority Investment Rating for playgrounds would be 78.5 (out of 200). How to Analyze the Charts: • High Priority Areas are those with a PIR of at least 100. A rating of 100 or above generally indicates there is a relatively high level of unmet need and residents generally think it is important to fund improvements in these areas. Improvements in this area are likely to have a positive impact on the greatest number of households. • Medium Priority Areas are those with a PIR of 50-99. A rating in this range generally indicates there is a medium to high level of unmet need or a significant percentage of residents generally think it is important to fund improvements in these areas. • Low Priority Areas are those with a PIR below 50. A rating in this range generally indicates there is a relatively low level of unmet need and residents do not think it is important to fund improvements in these areas. Improvements may be warranted if the needs of very specialized populations are being targeted. The following pages show the Unmet Needs Rating, Importance Rating, and Priority Investment Rating for facilities and programs. 2022 Bozeman Parks and Recreation Survey: Findings Report ETC Institute

Survey: Findings Report ETC Institute (2022)Page 50270 Benchmarking Analysis Overview Since 1998, ETC Institute has conducted household surveys for needs assessments, feasibility studies, customer satisfaction, fees and charges comparisons, and other parks and recreation issues in more than 400 communities in 49 states across the country. The results of these surveys have provided an unparalleled database of information to compare responses from household residents in client communities to “National Averages” and therefore provide a unique tool to “assist organizations in better decision making.” Communities within the database include a full-range of municipal and county governments, with populations ranging from 20,000 to over 1 million residents. They include communities in warm weather and cold weather climates, mature communities, and some of the fastest growing cities and counties in the country. “National Averages” have been developed for numerous strategically important parks and recreation planning and management issues, including: customer satisfaction and usage of parks and programs; methods for receiving marketing information; reasons that prevent members of households from using parks and recreation facilities more often; priority recreation programs, parks, facilities and trails to improve or develop; priority programming spaces to have in planned community centers and aquatic facilities; potential attendance for planned indoor community centers and outdoor aquatic centers, etc. Results from household responses for the City of Bozeman were compared to National Benchmarks to gain further strategic information. A summary of all comparisons are shown in the graphs on the following pages. Note: The benchmarking data contained in this report is protected intellectual property.

These principles should be used to ensure the City’s capital improvements and decisions about park and facility maintenance align with the goals and vision laid out by the Parks, Recreation, and Active Transportation Plan. Ecology & Environment The City should strive to maintain or enhance the ecological function and resiliency of its natural area, trail, and recreation assets. Accessibility & Inclusivity City parks, facilities, and trails should strive to exceed requirements for accessibility to engage visitors of differing abilities. Durability & Effciency Materials, furnishings, and landscaping used to construct or improve City assets should be able to withstand frequent and intense use and limited maintenance. Equipment should sourced from sustainable materials and should require typical, easy to access replacement parts. 590 Typical Assets Identifiers 591 System-wide Park Standards The following standards identify important elements and facilities that should be included in the design, construction, and maintenance of parks and natural areas to align with the vision and goals of the PRAT Plan. The standards are broken out into two topics - systemwide requirements, which include investments in physical accessibility, lighting, and landscape elements; and guidance for design and maintenance by park type. As community needs and trends change, this guidance should continue to provide a relevant and consistent framework for the design and renovation of future parks and natural areas. 592 Required Facilities The following amenities and furnishings are important facilities to include in all parks and natural areas to provide clear and cohesive identity, encourage safe access, and enhance park enjoyment. Barrier free/Accessible paths Parks should be made accessible to a wide range of visitors, including persons with varying abilities, and they must connect safely and effciently to surrounding transit stops and neighborhood streets. Accessible routes often result in paved connections, which can increase impervious surfaces, negatively impact stormwater capture, and increase heat island effect. To reduce these negative impacts on accessible paths and parking needs, consider the following: • Use semipermeable or permeable surfaces that meet or exceed ADA/Universal Design requirements. • Share parking with neighboring uses, like schools. • Reduce road and walkway widths to minimum acceptable dimensions. • Reduce the size/width of parking spaces to NACTO minimums and limit the number of parking stalls. • If an entrance or route is not accessible, install signage that indicates the next closest accessible entry. Trees Trees provide shade and reduce the impacts of urban heat island on hot days. Trees also sequester carbon and help to reduce soil erosion through their root systems. Trees contribute to the natural look and feel of urban parks year round. The City should take care to protect existing trees through proactive monitoring and maintenance. New trees should be planted in communities with low tree coverage and to plan for successful succession of the canopy within older parks and natural areas. The City should ensure diverse species selection in parks and city-owned natural areas. The City should also advocate for more street trees at the perimeter of parks and facilities. Milwaukee Path - Missoula cross city trail 593 Signage Clear, consistent, and accessible signage and wayfnding helps to communicate what parks, trails, and facilities have to offer and reinforce the City’s identity and role in maintaining these community spaces. There are many types of signs that should be considered in Bozeman parks and facilities, depending on the park or facility’s use. • Informational signage clearly communicates the City’s relationship in owning or maintaining the park or facility. • Directional signage and wayfnding helps to direct visitors to destinations within parks and facilities, and will set expectations about distances between destinations. • Interpretive signage can be used as an educational feature to describe the park’s historic, cultural, or environmental signifcance. Seating Seating and benches give park users a place to rest, socialize, and enjoy their parks. Benches, picnic tables and other seating should be prioritized along highly traffcked paths and parks, and in natural spaces. Consider age-friendly bench designs that prioritize back support and arm rests as well as benches and picnic tables with adjacent wheelchair spaces. Trash & Recycling Placing trash and recycling receptacles along major network paths helps keep pathways, corridors, and their surroundings clean and more enjoyable for their users. Bear proof containers should be used where needed. Consider composting bins where conficts can be avoided. 594 Enhancing Amenities These amenities are not critical for a functional active transportation network but enhance the user experience, safety, and cleanliness, and are often greatly desired by the community. Lighting Pedestrian scaled lighting should be considered at entrances and in parking lots or felds of larger parks, many special use facilities, and other parks used throughout the year. Adequate lighting should also be considered along popular pathways and trails through parks and standards should be aimed at avoiding undue impacts on wildlife. Pedestrian scaled lighting increases safety for users throughout the year. Shade Structures Shade structures range in size, materiality, cost and purpose. They include arbors, pergolas, gazebos, pavilions, and canvas tensile structures over playgrounds and bleachers at felds. These structures should be used in places where shade trees are limited and where shade trees confict with the particular park use, e.g. playing feld or meadow. Comfort stations/Restrooms In larger parks like regional parks and certain special use facilities, permanent, ADA accessible restrooms should be considered. Comfort stations are appropriate as temporary facilities tied to large events, festivals, or other large gathering. Bike Racks Bike racks provide reliable bike storage options at parks with access to major trails and pathways. As stated in the Active Transportation section, providing ample bike racks reduces potential issues of bikes being locked inappropriately to trees, park furniture, and private property. Bike Repair Stations Bike repair stations can be helpful for bicyclists if they are caught with an unexpected fat tire or need to make an adjustment to their bike during a ride. As noted in the Active Transportation section, bike repair stations should be located along major bike corridors and in major parks that are popular for bike users. Dog Waste Stations Dog stations provide pet waste bags and a trash receptacle for dog owners that use parks. Installing dog stations along popular dog walking areas can be benefcial in maintaining clean parks and trails. Water Fountains Outdoor public water fountains along pathways are often desired by active users. However, upkeep of these amenities is extensive which reduces their practicality in many situations. Providing public water fountains will be deliberate decisions that will hinge on specifc locations and circumstances. Picnic Tables Picnic tables can be appropriate along pathways near community hubs. They provide opportunities for a variety of social activities that can be enjoyed outdoors such as picnics, games, and conversations. Irrigation Prioritize simple irrigation systems to reduce unnecessary water waste. Install fexible irrigation systems that are easy to manage, maintain, and replace if needed. Develop an irrigation policy appropriate to the parkland setting. Irrigating planting beds and trees during the vegetation’s establishment period will greatly increase the chances of survival for the planting and the planting’s lifespan. 595 Design + Maintenance Guidance by Park Type The following principles guide the development and maintenance of City-owned or managed parks with the goal of creating a safe, accessible, sustainable, and long lasting system of parks, trails, and facilities. These principles should be used to ensure the City’s capital improvements and decisions about park and facility maintenance align with the goals and vision laid out by the Parks, Recreation, and Active Transportation Plan.

They are typically 1 acre or less in size and contain small features. They may also function as landscaped public use areas in commercialized parts of town, and serve as a destination within a 5 minute walk of a neighborhood. The service area for a pocket park is a ¼-mile radius around the park in a residential setting. Soroptimist Park Westglen Park 598 Typical Assets and Design Considerations Arterial access through residential plots Access to shade and planting Program & Use Pocket Parks typically contain amenities such as recreational opportunities for young children with slides, swings, spring toys and the like. Temporary amenities like movable tables and chairs support social activities and gatherings that tie into the daily activities of move active parts of the city. Environmental Benefts Design grading to direct stormwater into planted areas and mitigate the need for regular irrigation. It is important to evaluate the quality of the soils on site in more dense, urban pocket parks to ensure the soil can support increased stormwater volumes. Plant native, hardier plants that can serve as windbreaks that break up wind tunnel effects and to support sensitive low lying plants. Limit paved surfaces and cluster plantings throughout the site to reduce urban heat island effect. Immediate access through sidewalks and residential streets Access to play areas Siting & Access Accessibility by way of interconnecting trails, sidewalks, or low-volume residential streets increases use opportunities. Recognizable public access should be provided with at least 50 feet of frontage on a public or approved private street. In terms of size, they are generally between 2,500 square feet and one acre in size. Connections and relationships to the surrounding context are also key to providing an accessible and visually cohesive connection to surrounding buildings, paths, and streets. Connections within and to the park from nearby bike lanes and greenways should be prioritized, especially those that connect into city anchor routes. Curb cuts at street crossings and wayfnding to direct visitors to surrounding amenities, especially downtown, will help orient visitors to various destinations. 599 Neighborhood P 223 A ar cres | 34 P ks arks Relevant Parks Alder Creek Centennial Park Cooper Park Creekwood Subdivision Park Diamond Park Enterprise Park Flanders Creek Subdivision Park Four Points Minor Subd.

The service area of a neighborhood park has a ¼- to ½-mile radius. Centennial Park Valley West Park 600 Typical Assets and Design Considerations City Goal of 100% Frontage on Public Roads Central location in residential neighborhoods Flexible multi-use natural areas Connection to sidewalks, community trails and greenways Program & Use Facilities include playgrounds; informal playfelds or natural areas; basketball, tennis and volleyball courts; ice skating; trails; and picnic and sitting areas. Environmental Benefts Similar to the pocket parks and plazas typology, it is imperative to design grading to direct stormwater into planted areas and mitigate the need for regular irrigation. In these active, neighborhood serving parks, investments in low maintenance plantings and shade trees will support community use on hot days and reduce urban heat island effect from surrounding areas. Siting/Access The site should be accessible from throughout its service area by way of interconnecting trails, sidewalks, or low-volume residential streets. Ease of access and walking distance are critical factors in locating a neighborhood park. A neighborhood park should have a minimum of 50 percent frontage on a public or approved private street. Neighborhood parks are generally 3 to 10 acres in size. Leftover parcels of land that are undesirable for development are also generally undesirable for neighborhood parks and should be avoided. It is more cost-effective to select a site with inherent aesthetic qualities, rather than trying to recreate them through extensive development. Connections and relationships within the neighborhood will help to provide accessible and visually cohesive relationships to surrounding community destinations. Connections within and to the park from nearby bike lanes and greenways should be prioritized, especially those that connect into city anchor routes. Curb cuts at street crossings and wayfnding to direct visitors to surrounding amenities, especially downtown, will help orient visitors to various destinations. 601 Community P 199 A ar cres | 8 P ks arks Beall Park Bogert Park Bozeman Pond Glen Lake Rotary Park Kirk Park Lindley Park Story Mansion Park Story Mill Community Park Relevant Parks Community parks are larger in size and serve a broader purpose than neighborhood parks. Their focus is on meeting the recreational needs of the entire community. They allow for group activities and offer other recreational opportunities not feasible – nor perhaps desirable – in a neighborhood park. Story Mill Community Park Bozeman Pond Glen Lake Rotary Park Kirk Park 602 Typical Assets and Design Considerations Recreational Facilities Connection to community trail system Native Planting Areas Arterial / Connector Streets + Parking Access Program & Use Potential recreation facilities include playgrounds; basketball, tennis and volleyball courts; informal ballfelds for youth play; ice skating rinks (temporary); swimming pools or swimming beaches; trails, including cross-country ski trails; individual and group picnic/sitting areas; general open area; unique landscapes and features; nature study areas; and ornamental or native plant gardens. Environmental Benefts Similar to the pocket parks and plazas typology, it is imperative to design grading to direct stormwater into planted areas and mitigate the need for regular irrigation. These larger parks can also direct runoff towards designed bioretention systems (e.g., swales and rain gardens). Wherever possible, these parks should increase planting areas that can capture stormwater and support water conservation measures citywide, through low irrigation, native plantings. Siting/Access Optimally, the site should be between 20 and 50 acres in size; however the actual size should be based on the land area needed to accommodate desired uses. The site should be serviced by arterial and collector streets, as well as the community trail system. Parking lots should be provided as necessary to accommodate user access. The site’s natural character should play a very signifcant role in site selection, with emphasis on sites that preserve unique landscapes within the community and/or provide recreational opportunities not otherwise available. 603 Special Use P 201 A ar cres | 9 P ks arks Relevant Parks Bozeman Sports Park Bronken Park - Soccer Complex Christie Fields North Grand Field Rose Park Snowfll Softball Complex West Babcock Park Westlake BMX Park The Special Use classifcation covers a broad range of parks and recreation facilities oriented toward single-purpose or specialized use. Special uses generally fall into three categories: • Historic/Cultural/Social Sites – Unique local resources offering historical, educational, and cultural opportunities. Examples include historic downtown areas, performing arts facilities, arboretums, ornamental/native plant gardens, sculpture gardens, indoor theaters, public buildings, and amphitheaters. • Indoor Recreation Facilities – Examples include community centers, senior centers, sports stadiums, community theaters, indoor hockey arenas, and indoor swimming pools. • Outdoor Recreation Facilities – Examples include tennis centers, sports complexes, golf courses, disc golf courses, hockey arenas, BMX parks and skate parks. 604 Typical Assets and Design Considerations Indoor / Outdoor Recreation Facilities Native Plant Gardens Cultural Sites Arterial Road Connections Specifc Athletic Asset (for example pump track) Large Athletic Facilities Program & Use Among the most active recreation places within the City’s park system, these parks and facilities support a range of activities and should be designed to address the desires of community members, national and local recreation trends, and the need for fexibility. Opportunities for active recreation should be expanded to support intended audiences as well as their caregivers, spouses, and spectators. To support extended use of the facilities, these places should support the comfort of all visitors through water fountains, bathrooms, shade trees, benches and accommodations for persons who ave physical disabilities or are neurologically diverse. Siting/Access Recreation need, community interests, the type of facility, and land availability are the primary factors infuencing location and size. Special use facilities should be viewed as strategically located community- wide facilities rather than as serving well-defned neighborhoods or areas. The site should be accessible from arterial and collector streets where feasible. 605 Natural Area Parks and Natural Areas within Parks 184 Acres | 27 Parks/Areas Natural Areas within Parks Alder Creek Natural Space Allison Park Bridger Creek Park Bronken Park - Natural Space Burke Park Cattail Lake Subdivision Public Park Flanders Creek Subdivision Park Natural Space Grafs East Park Hauser Park Ice House Park Josephine Park Laurel Glen Park Loyal Gardens Subdivision Park Mcleod Park Meadow Creek Subd Public Park Norton East Ranch Sub Park Natural Space Oak Springs Park Access Corridor Peets Hill Shady Lane Public Park Traditions Subdivision Park Natural Space Tuckerman Park Valley West Park Natural Space West Winds Park Natural Space Willow Park Natural resource areas are lands set aside for the preservation of natural resources, remnant landscapes, and visual aesthetics or buffering. Oftentimes, these areas are contained within existing parks, and require a different management approach from more isolated natural areas. For example, Mcleod Park is a neighborhood park with natural areas that have to be well designed and integrated into the park to work alongside existing recreational uses. There are similar examples in West Winds Park and Bronken Park. These lands typically consist of: • Individual sites exhibiting natural resources; • Lands that are unsuitable for development but offer natural resource potential. Examples include parcels with steep slopes and natural vegetation, drainage ways and ravines; and • Protected lands, such as wetlands, riparian areas and ponds. Natural Area Parks Baxter Meadows Natural Space Baxter Square Natural Space Cattail Creek Natural Space Ferguson Meadows Natural Space 606 Typical Assets and Design Considerations Access to greenways, trails and nature viewing opportunities Protection of natural resource areas Program & Use Although natural areas are resource rather than user based, they can provide some recreation opportunities such as trails, and nature viewing and study. They can also function as greenways. Development should be kept to a level that preserves the integrity of the resource. Environmental Benefts Natural Area Parks should be protected, restored, maintained, and considered for expansion. To do this, clear communication and barriers to prevent dumping, walking, or vehicle access to the site should be incorporated into the design of these spaces. Minimize development of hard surfaces, including bike trails and boardwalks, and strategically place them to avoid dissecting, diminishing, or disturbing natural areas within parks. Use the existing types of vegetation community present in natural areas, whether forest, shrubland, meadow, stream, or wetland to guide the restoration design for adjacent sites and for site expansion within existing parks. These places should include educational information (e.g. signage) that will help visitors understand natural system functions and increase aware of ecosystem benefts. Bozeman’s Community Plan 2020 names birds as compatible with development and encourages habitat protection Siting/Access Resource availability and opportunity are the primary factors determining location and size. Typically, when siting a natural area, underutilized areas of parks and areas with vegetation or animal species of concern are ideal places for natural area investment. Access points should be limited and well-signed, and should connect into existing trail networks. 607 Linear Parks 62 Acres | 24 Parks Relevant Parks Babcock Meadows Brookside Park Diamond Estates Public Park Gallagator Linear Park Greenway/Westgate Harvest Creek Langohr Gardens Park North 9th Northern Pacifc Addition To Bozeman Oak Meadows Subdivision Park Sourdough Trail Park Spring Meadows Park Sundance Springs Park The Knolls At Hillcrest Park The Knolls At Hillcrest Park Valley Creek Park Village Downtown Park West Meadows Park Westridge East Park Westridge North Park Westridge South Park Linear parks contain pathways that serve a number of important functions: • They tie park components together to form a cohesive park, recreation, and active transportation system; • They allow for uninterrupted and safe pedestrian and bicycle movement between parks and throughout the community • They contain clear signage that visually connects park components and trails to better wayfnding • They provide an opportunity for resource-based outdoor recreation. Gallagator Linear Park Harvest Creek Park 608 Typical Assets and Design Considerations Connection to furthertrail systems Parcels with steep slopes Protection of natural wetland and ponds and natural vegetation Program & Use Linear parks can be developed for a variety of different recreational activities. Most notable are hiking, walking, jogging, bicycling and cross-country skiing. Environmental Benefts The environmental benefts of linear parks include reduced emissions from vehicular transportation and an opportunity to create longer stretches of contiguous native vegetation, habitat and wildlife corridors. Special care should be taken to avoid the spread of weeds within linear parks. Since these habitat corridors will also naturally support non- native species expansion, it is important to create barriers for the spread of those species. Many linear parks exist along water courses, which presents an opportunity to improve riparian edges. Plantings and naturalized landscapes along the water’s edge could support increased fsh and other amphibious species habitat. Education signage regarding “rewilding” of these riparian edges should also be considered to raise awareness of these investments. Siting/Access Land availability and opportunity are the primary factors determining location. Many linear parks will follow natural features such as watercourses, while others will follow man-made features such as abandoned railways. Linear parks should be at least 25 feet wide for general trail use, with additional width required for parks used for cross-country skiing. In addition to this minimum width, which linear parks can extend beyond, linear parks should also have requirements to provide specifc amenities. Linear parks should be designed to increase connectivity for wildlife and eliminate barriers to their movement. 609 Design + Maintenance Guidance For Active Transportation Establishing clear dimensional specifcations and construction standards for each path and trail typology is fundamental to building out a highly functioning active transportation network. Below is a basic summary of the key standards for each network typology. The ‘Implementation’ section below provides a detailed breakdown of the recommended dimensional and construction standards. This section of the Design Manual will identify and describe design and maintenance considerations for the following three Active Transportation route types: System-wide Standards Anchor Routes & Shared Use Paths Bike Boulevards Connector Paths Neighborhood Trails 610 N1 mile0 0.5 Proposed Active Transportation Network Proposed Anchor Route Growth Boundary Proposed Shared Use Paths Roads Proposed Commuter Paths Railroad Proposed Neighborhood Trails Streams Proposed Bike Boulevards Lakes & Reservoirs Existing Shared Use Paths Future Parks Existing Trails Parks City Boundary 611 System-wide AT Standards Standards for the design and construction of all active transportation typologies is critical to successful implementation of the PRAT Plan. The City has existing paved path standards within the Public Work and the PROST Plan contains some standards for natural trails. The existing standards should be reviewed against best practices and guidelines, including guidance by National Association of City Transportation Offcials (NACTO), referenced below, revised to create comprehensive standards for each path and trail type, and collocated within a single source such as the Public Works Standards. The recommended standards for construction are divided into three classes based on location, intended use, and preferred maintenance. As uses or intensity change, a route may be upgraded in classifcation. The standards align with those in the Triangle Trails Plan and refect similar parameters previous outlined in the Bozeman PROST Plan and the Gallatin County Trails Report and Plan. Paths and trails consist of a central walkable/ridable surface, known as a tread. They have a shoulder located on each side. The tread plus the shoulder is known as the clear width. The height above the route with no obstacles like tree branches is known as the clear height. The following standards are applicable to all city path and trail classifcations: • Adequate visibility must be provided for safety. • The minimum acceptable path and trail easement width is 25 feet. • Path and trail entrances will be signed describing the degree of ADA access. • A minimum of 5-foot separation between edge of path to top of slope that is greater than 1V:3H, if not met, a railing must be implemented 612 Required Elements These associated elements, adjacent to physical path networks, are essential for the success of a functional and safe active transportation network. Wayfnding The most critical adjacent network facility is wayfnding. Wayfnding is essential to a robust, highly functioning community active transportation network. A comprehensive wayfnding plan should be adopted and implemented by the City of Bozeman. One, unifed wayfnding plan for the entire City of Bozeman will standardize and integrate consistent signage and information across the entire network to allow for intuitive and streamlined user navigation. Lighting on Shared Use Paths For shared use paths to be viable and reliable transportation and recreation corridors throughout the year, appropriate lighting should be considered on all shared use paths and standards should be aimed at avoiding undo impacts on wildlife.Adequate lighting increases safety for users and allows the paths to be functional throughout the entire day, including commuting hours, during Montana’s dark winter months. Benches Benches are a highly desired facility in public spaces and in corridors along pathways. They give path users a place to rest, socialize, and enjoy the many beautiful environments Bozeman has to offer. Benches should be prioritized along highly traffcked paths and in natural spaces. Bike Racks Bike racks provide reliable bike storage options at network hubs for commuting and recreational bikers alike to securely leave their bike for period of time. Providing ample bike racks reduces potential issues of bikes being locked inappropriately to trees, park furniture, and private property. Bike Repair Stations Bike repair stations can be helpful for bicyclists if they are caught with an unexpected fat tire or need to make an adjustment to their bike during a ride. Bike repair stations should be located along major bike corridors and at major network intersections. Dog Waste Stations Dog stations provide pet waste bags and a trash receptacle for dog owners that use the network. Installing dog stations along popular dog walking areas can be benefcial in maintaining a clean path and trail environment. Trash & Recycling Placing trash and recycling receptacles along major network paths helps keep pathways, corridors, and their surroundings clean and more enjoyable for their users. Bear proof containers and composting bins should be used where necessary and needed. Enhancing Elements These amenities are not critical for a functional active transportation network but enhance the user experience, safety, and cleanliness, and are often greatly desired by the community. Lighting on other Facilities Some connector paths and trails may beneft from lighting installations as well if they are highly traffcked, are used as a frequent commuter route, or need added visibility. The need for lighting on these facilities will be addressed on a situational basis. Water Fountains Outdoor public water fountains along pathways are often desired by active users. However, upkeep of these amenities is extensive which reduces their practicality in many situations. Providing public water fountains will be deliberate decisions that will hinge on specifc locations and circumstances. Picnic Tables Picnic tables can be appropriate along pathways near community hubs. They provide opportunities for a variety of social activities that can be enjoyed outdoors such as picnics, games, and conversations. 613 Anchor Routes & Shared Use Paths These pathways connect larger community nodes. They are heavily used with full access and are typically constructed along major transportation corridors but can also be located outside of rights-of-way. These routes are designed to permit two-way traffic, typically using an impervious surface material such as asphalt or concrete. Certain settings may not be conducive to impervious surfaces. Width and Clearance The preferred tread minimum width is 12 feet wide but can be decreased to 10 feet in interior subdivision settings. All paths should have a 1-foot gravel shoulder and 2-foot minimum total shoulder graded away from tread at a 2% maximum slope. A minimum vertical clearance of 10 feet should be provided. Branches that could reduce clearance when weighted with snow or rain should also be removed. Grade The maximum tread cross slope shall be 2%, sloping one direction, not crowned. The cross slopes on corners and curves shall be towards the inside where drainage permits. The maximum tread cross slope should be 5%, the cross slopes on corners and curves shall be towards the inside where drainage permits. If there is a segment that has a cross slope of more than 5%, the segment should be as short as possible. Maximum grade segments: • 8.3% for a maximum of 15.24m (50ft) • 10% for a maximum of 9.14m (30ft) • 12.5% for a maximum of 3.05m (10ft) Near the top and bottom of the maximum grade segments, the grade should transition to less than 5%. Rest intervals should be provided within 7.6m (25ft) of the max grade segment. There can be no abrupt change in surface level greater than ½ inch. 614 12’ CLEAR 2’ 10’ 2’ VARIES 10’ PAVED TRAIL TRAIL BUFFER DRIVE LANE BUFFER BUFFER CURB &GUTTER Typical Assets and Design Considerations VARIES 12’ VARIES LANDSCAPE PATHWAY LANDSCAPE AREA AREA VARIES WATER Cross Section Concrete - The tread base shall consist of a minimum of 3 inches of crushed gravel compacted to 95 percent of maximum density as determined by AASHTO T99. Concrete shall be a minimum of 6 inches of M4000. Asphalt -Excavate 11.5 inches of material. Install a minimum of 9 inches of crushed gravel compacted to 95 percent of maximum density as determined by AASHTO T99, unless otherwise dictated by sub-soil type materials being compacted to road standard. The overlay shall consist of 2.5 inches of asphalt compacted to 93 percent of maximum density, as determined by ASTMD 2041. Construction seal shall be applied at 0.08 gallon/square yard after installation. Material To decrease long term maintenance, tread surface must predominately be impervious material such as asphalt, concrete, pavers set on concrete, or wood decking. Porous surfaces (permeable pavers, porous asphalt, porous rubber) should be a priority in sensitive areas. The tread material including any base course will have a total minimum thickness of 6 inches. Wood deck planks must be run perpendicular to the direction of travel and joints must not exceed 36 inches. Planks must be securely fastened so they do not warp. 615 Bike Boulevards Bike boulevards are an integrated part of the street network. Streets designated as bike boulevards should adhere to standards within the Transportation Master Plan and other adopted documents. In addition to those standards, bike boulevards should include at least one element from each of the following categories: Signs and Pavement Markings Speed management tools: Volume management tools: Crossings: Identifcation signage Sharrow pavement markings Wayfnding signage Speed humps, bumps, tables and cushions Chicanes Neighborhood traffc circles Median islands Curb bulb outs Pinch points Regulatory signage Partial physical closure Full physical closure Channelized right in/right out Diagonal or median diverter Crossing signage Pedestrian signals (Rapid fash beacons, HAWK signals) Median refuge islands Curb bulb outs 616 Typical Assets and Design Considerations VARIES SHARED ROAD VARIES SHARED ROAD 5’ LANDSCAPE AREA 5’ LANDSCAPE AREA 5’ SIDEWALK 5’ SIDEWALK 2’ 2’ 617 Connector Paths These paths receive moderate use intended for a variety non-motorized, recreational, and commuter users. These paths connect meaningful destinations, such as neighborhoods, schools, and hubs of commercial activity. Connector paths are constructed with an ADA accessible surface of natural fnes, or potentially pavement, and are 6 to 8 feet in width. For paved connector paths the Class 1 standards shall be utilized. Even if paved, connector paths are not expected to be maintained during the winter. However, if the route provides important community connections, year round maintenance should be provided. For natural surface connector paths apply the standards below. Width and Clearance Single surfaced tread with a minimum width of six feet. Tread width may be reduced to 36 inches for a maximum distance of 30 feet to pass or preserve signifcant features such as rock formations, important vegetation, or cross watercourses. Signs should be used to warn about such constrictions. The minimum cleared zone will be the tread width plus 2 feet to either side of the tread and 10 feet vertical. In no instance may the overhead clear height be less than 8 feet. Grade A cross-slope of no less than 2 percent and no more than 5 percent to provide for water drainage is allowed. Maximum sustained running grade is 8%. A 10% maximum grade is allowed for a maximum distance of 30 feet, and a 14% maximum grade is allowed when resting intervals are provided every 5 feet. Tread will be raised above the adjacent surfaces and have a 4-inch crown. Where this requirement is not possible the tread will have a 1:20 cross slope and/or side ditches outside the cleared zone. Changes in level: • Should not exceed 51mm (2 in) • May be up to a maximum of 76mm (3 in) in areas where 51mm cannot be attained and the slope of the trail is less than 5% in any direction. • Obstacles over 51mm (2 in) in height should be removed Stream crossings will be over culverts or bridges. Only dips or slot-entrance drainpipe will be used for cross tread water stops for natural surface treads. 618 Typical Assets and Design Considerations 6’-8’ TRAIL 10’ CLEAR 2’ VARIES LANDSCAPE AREA VARIES LANDSCAPE AREA 2’ BUFFER Cross Section The path bed must be excavated 6 inches deep, prior to installation of tread mix. Tread mix shall be installed in two parts. The frst 3-inch lift shall be of ¾ inch Road mix, compacted to 95%, and then 3/8th inch minus gravel (natural fnes) compacted to 95%. If moisture content is not adequate for compaction, water should be added prior to rolling and compacting. Natural fnes used for these paths shall consist of 80 percent sand, 10 percent silt and 10 percent clay. If the natural fnes tread mix does not contain enough clay or soil binder, additional binder must be mixed in. BUFFER Geo-textile material will be placed beneath and gravel or particulate tread material in poorly drained, boggy, or marshy areas, or wet meadows and on any of the following soil types: clays, clayey loams, silts, silty. The preferred material is non-woven needle-punched engineering geo-fabric, but woven is acceptable. Fabric should be selected for use and durability. Material Commuter paths shall be designed for ADA access and year-round maintenance. Those that are not paved will be surfaced with a minimum of wood decking, natural fnes, or with a well maintained compacted crushed gravel. 619 Neighborhood Trails Neighborhood trails are narrower soft surface trails that connect locally to parks and natural areas. These trails receive moderate to low use and are typically 4-6 feet in width. They are either natural trails developed by use over time or constructed with natural fnes. ADA accessibility may be limited as trails typically follow the natural contours, however nearby sidewalk spurs can provide ADA connections to areas along the corridor. Width and Clearance Tread width minimum is four feet. The minimum clear zone will be the tread width horizontally and seven feet vertically. Grade Grades typically follow the natural topography therefore ADA access is extremely limited. Blending the trail into the setting is emphasized in trail routing. Provide positive drainage for the tread utilizing grade dips, cross sloping, and water bars to minimize erosion. Cross Section No trail bed excavation is required except to eliminate extreme cross grades. Material Preparation varies from machine-worked surfaces to those worn only by usage. No surfacing is required except in erosion prone poorly drained, marshy areas, or wet meadows. 620 Typical Assets and Design Considerations 4’-6’ TRAIL VARIES LANDSCAPE AREA VARIES LANDSCAPE AREA 621 AT Maintenance Maintaining active transportation routes that are safe and accessible for users of all ages and abilities is a high priority. In addition, adequate maintenance is critical to maximizing year-round utilization. The City needs to establish annual and long-term maintenance plans that includes a deferred maintenance analysis. There are three essential elements to properly maintaining an active transportation network. First, establish minimum standards for maintenance. Next, determine maintenance responsibility for each segment of the network. Lastly, identify the various sources to fnance the necessary maintenance. Methods Developing a comprehensive maintenance strategy will require considering various surface types, locations, responsible parties, and available funding. Anchor Routes and Shared Use Paths Share use paths located within street rights-of-way are typically maintained by the corresponding jurisdiction. One challenge is achieving consistent maintenance expectations and standards between the City, County, and State. Connector Paths The maintenance of Connectors not only depends on the responsible party but also on the surface type each route. Neighborhood Trails Despite being smaller, trails require a considerable amount of maintenance depending on location, the quality of construction, and the amount of use. Neighborhood trails are typically maintained by neighborhood associations, HOAs, the City, or GVLT. 622 Regulations The ability of the City to regulate maintenance of active transportation routes is limited. The City should consider ways to require routes owned or managed by private parties to be maintained according to established standards. The following actions are recommended. • Strengthen requirements for residential subdivisions, commercial developments, and other privately held routes to be adequately maintained according to standards adopted by the City. Policies Maintenance of active transportation routes in Bozeman is currently managed through a variety of resources, including private property owners, homeowner associations, community groups, non- proft partners, the City, and the Montana Department of Transportation. Clarifying responsibilities for maintenance and establishing standards will help ensure the fnancial investment developing a complete network is protected and enhanced in future years. The following actions are recommended. • Establish a comprehensive maintenance plan that includes minimum standards for upkeep, repairs, and replacement • Conduct a comprehensive deferred maintenance analysis of each route identifying the current condition, upkeep and repair needs, and sections needing to be rebuilt • Establish a maintenance template for the City, property owners, and partners to develop schedule tasks and estimate costs • Review and clarify how the Bozeman Parks Maintenance District can support the maintenance of the network Maintenance Standards General maintenance standards for evaluating needs for surface care, repairs, safety precautions, and managing adjacent landscaping should be developed for and consistently applied to all network typologies. In addition to annual and long-term tasks, seasonal maintenance of shared use paths is essential to accommodating year-round active transportation. Paved paths must have the snow removed frequently during the winter and be swept of grit and debris each spring. Maintenance Actions The following actions are recommended. • Develop a comprehensive maintenance plan including detailed standards by typology that ensure a high-level of safety, accessibility, and utilization. Below are recommended routine and periodic maintenance tasks based on surface type. Paved Surfaces—Routine maintenance activities: • Regular sweeping to remove debris, gravel, and other hazardous items • Regular snow removal during winter months • Inspect and repair pavement surface problems (seal cracks, grind down ridges, cut back tree roots, repair pavement) • Prune adjacent and overhanging vegetation to reduce encroachment or cause sight distance problems • Treating noxious weeds along corridor • Mowing trail edges if applicable (keep vegetation height low along trail) • Clearing drainage features to ensure proper function Paved Surfaces—Periodic maintenance activities: • Coordinate and schedule pavement overlays as part of adjacent road maintenance • Addition of surfacing material depending on condition (2-3 years) 623 • Re-grading to improve cross-slope or out-slope for improved drainage • Improvement of transitions with sidewalks or streets, restripe crosswalks and other markers • Repair or replace wayfnding, stop control signs and other elements • Restripe crosswalks and other markers Natural Surfaces—Routine maintenance activities: • Removing encroaching vegetation from trail tread (grading, chemical treatment) • Prune adjacent and overhanging vegetation to reduce encroachment or cause sight distance problems • Treating noxious weeds along corridor • Mowing trail edges if applicable (keep vegetation height low along trail) • Clearing drainage features to ensure proper function • Flood or rain damage repair: silt clean up, culvert clean out, etc. • Bridge/culvert inspection, clearing and repair • Map/signage post condition inspection, and vandalism repair • Assessing need for sign/map updates or replacement Natural Surfaces—Periodic maintenance activities: • Yearly trail evaluation to determine the need for minor repairs, identifcation of erosion damage, need for improved drainage • Addition of surfacing material depending on condition (2-3 years) • Re-grading to improve cross-slope or out-slope for improved drainage • Improvement of transitions with sidewalks or streets, restripe crosswalks and other markers • Repair or replace wayfnding, stop control signs and other elements • Restripe crosswalks and other markers Funding Like construction, the maintenance of Bozeman’s active transportation is funded by a variety of entities including the City, Montana Department of Transportation, non-proft partners, and private property owners. There are more maintenance needs than committed funding which leads to a backlog of repairs and overall degradation of accessibility and utilization. According to the Rails to Trail Conservancy, annual maintenance costs on average range from $1,000 to $2,000 per trail mile, depending upon the surface. Therefore, average annual funding required to maintain Bozeman’s 178 miles of paths and trails is approximately $267,000. The funding needed to adequately maintain the network will only increase as new extensions and routes are constructed. To meet this fnancial commitment, the City and its partners must proactively account for the necessary funding to execute the annual and long-term maintenance plans and aggressively commit the dollars. The following actions are recommended. • Ensure that a signifcant portion of the Parks and Trails Maintenance District funds are dedicated to path and trail maintenance • Allocate an annual portion of the City’s street maintenance budget to repair shared use paths and paved connector paths • Include Bozeman’s active transportation network and plan into the future Metropolitan Planning Organization budget 624 Prioritization Addressing the maintenance backlog of existing active transportation network will take years and considerable funding. Therefore, it is important to develop and utilize a method to prioritize the needed upkeep and repair projects. This plan includes a weighted prioritization matrix template utilizing the criteria listed below. The following actions are recommended. Develop a methodology for prioritizing potential maintenance projects based on the following criteria: • Area of deferred maintenance that poses a public safety risk • Area of deferred maintenance that restricts equitable access • Area of deferred maintenance that reduces utilization • Highly utilized routes • Ability to partner and/or leverage creative funding opportunities 625 PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT APPENDIX 626 Summary of Comments from PRAT Engagement Topic 1 Word Count 1 Topic 2 Word Count 2 Topic 3 Word Count 3 Topic 4 Word Count 4 Topic 5 Word Count 5 Total Count Emerging Themes Access (ADA)98 Affordable 4 Identity 38 Access (time)12 -152 Inclusion Nature 30 Environment 76 Tree 53 Native 15 Habitat 3 177 Nature Immersion Trails 227 Connect 76 Bike 66 --369 Trail Connectivity Indoor 15 Swimming/Aquatics 38 Sports Events 36 Adventure (XC/Disc Golf,etc)20 -109 Special Use Facilities Too many 13 Off leash/unleash 20 Care 26 Etiquette 11 Maintain/clean 45 115 Care Play 29 Winter/Snow 17 New 28 Events/programs 114 Family 4 192 Maintain Relevance Safe 90 Sidewalks 21 Crossings 47 Mobility 76 -234 Safe Access 627 Question Response Barriers to Usage of Parks, Trails, or Facilities (answered "Something Else")Accessible Barriers to Usage of Parks, Trails, or Facilities (answered "Something Else")Animal regulations not enforced Barriers to Usage of Parks, Trails, or Facilities (answered "Something Else")Benches, water for dogs Barriers to Usage of Parks, Trails, or Facilities (answered "Something Else")Bike lanes are where all the trash is swept Barriers to Usage of Parks, Trails, or Facilities (answered "Something Else")Close by parks are very packed and busy Barriers to Usage of Parks, Trails, or Facilities (answered "Something Else")Confusion about crowds parking use Barriers to Usage of Parks, Trails, or Facilities (answered "Something Else")Connectivity is lacking Barriers to Usage of Parks, Trails, or Facilities (answered "Something Else")Crowded Barriers to Usage of Parks, Trails, or Facilities (answered "Something Else") Desperately want another frisbee golf course because Rose Park is probably the highest trafficked park in the summer and we need to spread the crowd out to continue to grow the community.

Rose park is the only park in Bozeman that offers disc golf, which is not convenient if you do not live close. It is not a well maintained park (its full of gophers, and has only one set of trash cans to use) and is mostly looked after by local volunteers within the disc golf community. The amenities it does not contain are: obstacles for disc golf (such as more trees, uphill/downhill shots), a variety of different golf shots, and more holes (it has 14, and most are very short). Barriers to Usage of Parks, Trails, or Facilities (answered "Something Else")Need more off leash dog areas Barriers to Usage of Parks, Trails, or Facilities (answered "Something Else")Not adaptive to wheelchairs on all trails Barriers to Usage of Parks, Trails, or Facilities (answered "Something Else")Not enough parking, dog poop is a problem Barriers to Usage of Parks, Trails, or Facilities (answered "Something Else") Not enough parking. Need a true 18 hole disc golf park of proper tournament length. The current disc golf park at Rose Park is best for beginners, too crowded, too many gopher holes that affect safety, and has many decrepit foot bridges over creeks that need immediate repair. A new disc golf park while providing a new venue for experienced players, would also allow for tournaments which add value to the local economy. Look up the Rocky Mountain disc golf championships sponsored by Subaru, held near the Bridger Bowl a few years ago (on youtube). Sadly, that property was sold and the new owners did not wish to continue disc golf. We’ve been lacking a challenging course ever since.

Barriers to Usage of Parks, Trails, or Facilities (answered "Something Else") The park in our neighborhood on Cascade St. And Mineral Ave. Is completely neglected. Our HOA was maintaining this park, until it was voted for the City of Bozeman to maintain all community park in exchange for a tax increase. As stated before, this park is completely neglected. Our household often frequent the Valley Unit Park. We must cross Yellowstone Ave. To access this park, as do many others in the neighborhood. Vehicles traveling between Durston and Babcock often speed and fail to yield for pedestrians on Yellowstone Ave. And Meagher Ave. The crosswalks need to be better designated with signs, street markings, and perhaps stop signs to yield the flow of traffic to pedestrians trying to access Valley Unit Park.

It is constantly busy even middle of the day on weekdays we wait to tee off because there's so many players. With how much space bozeman had and rose being the busiest park on a Costigan basis during the summer should show the city we need mow disc golf but the city just doesn't care that this park is used as much as the regional park. The city barely does anything with Rose Park Disc Golf Course. The mow once a season then disc golfers have to get out there and mow because the city doesn't. Both new apartment buildings on the park walk there dogs and don't pick up after there dogs poop. I usually pick up at least 4-5 bags of dog poop because people in the apartments don't pick up after there dogs. This is crazy we don't have even a 18 hole course. Even Billings has 7 courses with diamond x having 3 in just one property. Helena and Butte both have more courses and better courses than what we have in bozeman. Missoula has 3-4 courses with multiple courses in national forest areas and city parks as well. Why does Bozeman only have one extremely small course with no trees? It seems like the city doesn't care at all about one of the busiest parks in bozeman. This park is used for multiple hours for each person that uses it. Not like other parks people spend 30 minutes in then leave. We need more disc golf in bozeman because rose Park is to busy to play a lot of the times. The doubles league and bag tag league in bozeman do all of the course maintenance other than the one a summer the city mow but we can't do it all. We need help. We need more courses.

There are also little to no bike lanes heading north/south just west of town ‐‐ like along 7th or 19th Avenues and multiuse paths are not conducive to commuting by bike as cyclists on these are lawfully considered the same as pedestrians and need to stop or at least slow down at every crossing. There also does not seem to be any deference given to bicycle riders with bike lanes being shut down for golf tournaments (on Kagy), temporary road signs being placed in the bike lanes and the lanes not being cleared of snow and/or debris on a regular basis (that last goes for bike paths as well).Many law enforcement officers and city officials seem to have little concern for cyclists' safety and the inherent dangers they face when riding on the roads. Police seem more concerned with citing riders for not stopping (and putting a foot down) at stop signs even when the cyclists have made a concerted effort to ensure there was no traffic coming in the other direction. And they don't seem to know the laws or care to enforce them on motorists who blatantly disregard traffic ordinances (such as parking in the bike lanes) putting cyclists at additional risk.DissatisfiedRoads are not conducive to non‐motorized traffic. Rules/laws are poorly enforced. Cross walks are often blocked by vehicles wanting to make a right on red.

Bozeman, along with Montana in general, is dated with it's implementation of universal design.SatisfiedAlthough they exist in most main areas, sidewalks and curb cuts should be present everywhere events take place. This is the same for access to events that are not on ground level. Are there ramps available? I would like this to be considered in our planning for the next 10 years.Our parks do not have accessible ground cover or accessible play equipment. It is disappointing to try to recreate and not be included. An accessible swing, at the very least, should be included in all parks. Wood chips and pea gravel are not accessible ground coverings. This lack of access to things others take for granted negatively impacts quality of life. If a piece of equipment or space works for a disabled person, it will work for everyone. Taking this view could positively change our community.I have not accessed any specific classes, programs, or events. But there is not an n/a option available.SatisfiedDissatisfiedMy daughter has an electric trike. The trails are marked no motorized vehicles. It isn’t safe for her to ride the bike lanes that are incorporated into roadwaysMy daughter has autism and I have mobility issues. I’m very worried that bozeman will enforce no electric bikes on the trails. We cannot ride the bike lanes due to safety issues. How is it that my tax dollars mean we should be excluded from trail use because our bikes are electric?My daughter has had great experiences at summer camps, and the library offers good opportunities too.DissatisfiedI wish there was a trail that allowed people to get to Eagle Mount without having to walk/bike on busy Goldenstein! This is especially important for people with special needs, because their judgement isn't as good as typical folks. I want my daughter to be as independent as possible, but for her to get to Eagle Mount on her own is a bit disconcerting.

A much larger city with this system is the Atlanta Greenbelt. This type of investment can actually attract businesses, as a surprising number of folks don't want to drive cars and love taking the "greenbelt" or parks connector.

In addition, adding trees, benches, and other low cost amenities will increase the enjoyment for surrounding residents. 45.69591 -111.09216 1173 Furguson Avenue, Bozeman, Montana 59718, United States http://engage.bozeman.net/pratplan/maps/public-workshop-park-system- patterns?reporting=true#marker-61080 Barriers / Difficulties This dog park is an amazing amenity but is over- utilized due to being the only dog park within a half mile of many many homes. Intense erosion in the spring and heavy use has led to it just being a mud/dirt pit with little grass. It needs investment and additional smaller dog parks or off-leash friendly hours parks nearby to lighten the load and allow the landscape to recover. 45.693074 -111.08953 3793 West Oak Street, Bozeman, Montana 59718, United States http://engage.bozeman.net/pratplan/maps/public-workshop-park-system- patterns?reporting=true#marker-61081 Places The shared use path along the north side of Oak is amazing and should ring the whole park to provide safe connectivity to adjacent neighborhoods. 45.720503 -111.0344 2864 Mcilhattan Road, Bozeman, Montana 59715, United States http://engage.bozeman.net/pratplan/maps/public-workshop-park-system- patterns?reporting=true#marker-61082 Barriers / Difficulties This park would greatly benefit from some shade in the summer.

Church St., Bozeman, Montana 59715, United States http://engage.bozeman.net/pratplan/maps/public-workshop-park-system- patterns?reporting=true#marker-61695 Barriers / Difficulties Peet's Hill suffers from overuse. Because it is the only dog park on this side of town, it is full of dog feces year round. The wild flowers that used to be famous in this area are dying out, only surviving on slopes where dogs don't run and pee. Bikes, loose dogs and people collide, and dog owners are often irresponsible and allow their dogs to run off leash into the property of the homes along Church and the library land and path. Each of these groups needs to be considered before the hill becomes an unwelcoming place. The smell of feces when the sun comes out is awful. I miss the wild flowers. 45.721042 -111.03307 2864 Mcilhattan Road, Bozeman, Montana 59715, United States http://engage.bozeman.net/pratplan/maps/public-workshop-park-system- patterns?reporting=true#marker-61697 Opportunities This is what a dog park should be.

For this study, BerryDunn conducted research for the marketing assessment by reviewing information that was provided by the client and that is publicly available. A summary of agency documents and background information resources is as follows: • City and Department websites • Bozeman City and Parks and Recreation budgets • Engage Bozeman • 2020 Communication Plan • 2020 Bozeman as an Inclusive City Report • 2021 Gaps Analysis for Equity Indicators Project • City and Department social media accounts. • Department’s Parks and Recreation Program Guides. In addition, the team created multiple online accounts including the portal to “Engage Bozeman,” Instagram, Facebook and Twitter to understand process, consistency and to follow important projects. A focus group session with key leadership staff was conducted on November 15, 2021 as well. The purpose of the meeting was to determine how the Department is marketing currently, as well as to understand areas of challenge and opportunity. Review of Current Operations The Department implements a hybrid model of marketing and outreach, which is common in the field of parks and recreation. Some functions are centralized in Office of the City Manager in the Administration Division. These include creating and maintaining the City’s brand, color scheme, and related high-level functions. Other functions are decentralized, such as creating presentations, social media posts, printed materials, and other efforts. BerryDunn identified one dedicated full-time equivalent (FTE) for marketing and outreach functions across the City, who is located within the City Manager’s Office. Staff report that one additional FTE (Outreach Coordinator) is planned to be added in the FY23 budget. BerryDunn was made aware that an increased focus on marketing and outreach has occurred in recent years. This includes greater emphasis in the City’s strategic plans, hiring the City’s first Communication and Engagement Manager, and the creation of specific marketing and outreach plans. Through these recent actions, coordination and quality of efforts have been improving. BerryDunn could not identify a specific marketing and outreach budget. Staff report a dedicated budget is challenging to identify due to the hybrid model of these services. Staff estimate $25,000 is budgeted for advertising. The City’s FY22 budget is $158.3 million, and of this amount, $2,322,748 is budgeted for Recreation and $5,167,179 is budgeted for Parks. 680 3 Current marketing activities for the Department focus on use of the website and social media as well as printed materials. Staff implement several outreach-related activities, such as the Department’s Rec Mobile and special events. The City’s vision states “Bozeman remains a safe, inclusive community, fostering civic engagement and creativity, with a thriving diversified economy, a strong environmental ethic, and a high quality of life as our community grows and changes.” Some of the language in this vision highlight the importance of marketing and outreach such as “inclusive community” and “civic engagement.” The City’s Strategic Plan includes vision statements on the following key areas: 1. An Engaged Community 2. An Innovative Economy 3. A Safe, Welcoming Community 4. A Well-Planned City 5. A Creative, Learning Culture 6. A Sustainable Environment 7. A High Performance Organization While all of these areas relate to marketing and outreach, the statement on an engaged community is especially important to consider and review for the marketing assessment. Outreach is identified as 1.1 in the City’s Strategic Plan, with the goal of continuing to strengthen and innovate in how information is delivered to the community and partners. The City developed a 2020 Communications Plan, which was supported by the 2018 Strategic Plan. The plan’s purpose is to serve as a guide and vision for staff for how to best communicate, inform, and engage with the public. Clear goals support the Communication Plan, including: 1. Telling the Story 2. Engagement 3. Celebrating and Enhancing Partnerships 4. Communicating the Strategic Plan 5. Communications Infrastructure as an Agency 6. Communications and Public Engagement as an Integrated City Service Specific objectives and audiences are identified through the City’s Communications Plan. 681 4 Figure X: Graphic From Page 20 of the City of Bozeman 2020 Communications Plan: The City created “Engage Bozeman,” which is a 2021 community engagement initiative. The foundation of this initiative is the Engage Bozeman Plan, which includes guiding principles and goals for community engagement. From the research conducted on these documents and efforts, it is clear that marketing, outreach, communication, and engagement are important to the City of Bozeman. Marketing and Outreach Strengths for the Department The City has prioritized marketing and outreach at an increasing level in the past few years. These efforts have created new tools for the Department to utilize to help advance services. The following strengths were identified: • The City’s Communication Plan, Engage Bozeman, and Strategic Plan are updated resources available for services. These new resources have generated more awareness and attention to the Department, such as Engage Bozeman efforts providing the ability for individuals to receive updates on key endeavors (including the Parks, Recreation, and Active Transportation Plan). 682 5 • City staff collaboration is strong, and staff report significant improvement of efforts with the hiring of the Communication and Engagement Manager. • Many staff members in the Department include job functions that relate to marketing, communication, and outreach as part of the hybrid approach of this service. • Many programs, services, and events provided by the Department are outstanding forms of marketing, outreach, communication, and engagement and significantly contribute to the brand of the City. • Department services are identified in many ways for contributing to citywide strategic goals with opportunities for more achievement. Marketing and Outreach Challenges for Parks and Recreation While several new outreach tools, efforts, and resources are available citywide, the Department experiences challenges to provide and connect services to the community in ways that are aligned with the City’s Strategic Plan. Key challenges relate to budget, staffing, and planning. The following challenges were identified: • The budget is low for current needs and is not enough to support growth • There is a lack of a dedicated marketing and outreach FTE for the Department, which results in lack of coordinated efforts and reactive marketing (and less storytelling, engagement, and other priorities consistent with the City’s Communication Plan) • Budget resources are not clear • A marketing plan for the Department does not exist • Program Guide circulation is limited and needs to reach more audiences (e.g., the Program Guide is not mailed directly, and underrepresented populations do not receive quality access to this information). Approximately 76% of park and recreation agencies across the country print a program guide (based upon National Park and Recreation Association’s [NRPA] 2019 Marketing and Communications Report). • The Department’s social media is well-utilized and updated by staff in a timely fashion. BerryDunn identified regular posting of information and promotions with 5,130 followers on the Recreation Facebook page. When compared to NRPA Gold Medal Award Winners for the past 10 years in Class IV population 30,000 to 75,000, the average number of Facebook followers for these park and recreation agencies is 9,687. Based on this benchmark and consideration of Bozeman residents’ high access to the internet, Facebook usage has the opportunity to increase. Reported in the US Census 2019 Quick Facts of Bozeman, 96% of households in the City have a computer, and 89% have access to the internet. Community residents appear to have a high level of access to technology. 683 6 City’s “Moose on the Loose” creative and engaging outreach program Marketing and Outreach Recommendations for the Department 1. Continue to provide training on marketing and outreach-related resources that are available citywide, including any updated or expanded resources (e.g., City Communication Plan, Engage Bozeman, etc.). 2. Develop a centralized budget for marketing and outreach that will support the goals identified in the City’s Strategic Plan, Communications Plan, as well as the Department’s cost-recovery and general marketing needs. Based on the NRPA’s 2019 Communications and Marketing Report: The typical park and recreation agency allocates three percent of its annual operating budget to marketing and communications activities, including all aspects of these activities from printing and design costs to paying for salaries and benefits of any associated employees. Some agencies spend even less of their budgets on these efforts. Twenty-eight percent of survey respondents indicate their agencies designate less than two percent of their annual operating budgets to marketing and communications. Conversely, 17% of park and recreation agencies spend at least 10% of their annual budgets on marketing and communications strategies. Smaller park and recreation agencies tend to dedicate a greater percentage of their annual budgets to marketing activities than do larger ones (although this is, of course, relative as these agencies’ overall budgets are comparatively small). The typical park and recreation agency serving fewer than 20,000 residents and the typical agency with an annual budget under $1 million each spends five percent of their annual budgets on marketing and communications activities. In comparison, the median is three percent for agencies serving every other population cohort. 684 7 Considering the population of Bozeman is 52,619, then the median of 3% of the Department’s budget should be dedicated for this important function. For fiscal year 2022, the combined Department budget is $7,489,927, which means that approximately $224,000 should be allocated for marketing and outreach when considering national best practices. From a staffing perspective, NRPA reports that the typical park and recreation agency has 1.5 FTEs dedicated to marketing and communication activities. Also, more than one in three park and recreation agencies use outside contractors to support marketing and communication efforts.

BerryDunn reviewed the results of these analyses from a global perspective. This recreation assessment report offers detailed insight into the Departments’ recreation program offerings, and helps to identify the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for future program direction. This report also assists with identifying program categories, programming gaps, and future program considerations. The reports and data that informed the recreation assessment included the Department’s seasonal program guides, participation data, Department revenue and expenses; and program metric worksheets completed by staff. Internal meetings and interviews with staff also provided insight. Program Menu The program menu consists of the recreational activities for a specific time frame. The 2019 program menu contains the last full data set for one year of programs not impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, and therefore used for the program menu analysis. This section will review the menu’s core program areas, service format, program inventory, program distribution, and age segmentation. Department staff have identified the core programs as active aging, adult, aquatics, camps, events, preschool, and school’s out activities. In many departments, core programs are organized by activity type (fitness, nature, sports) and not by age group (preschool, youth, adult). Bozeman uses a combination of both. As the variety of programming increases, re- establishing the core programs might be helpful. Core Program Areas Active Aging Active aging programs are for participants 55 years and older. Nearly all of the classes offered in 2019 were fitness classes including Fusion 4 Function, Heart and Sole, Balance & Beyond, Sole Energy, and Stability and Mobility. Adult Adult recreation encompasses most programs that serve participants ages 18 years and older. These include Wellness in Story Mansion Park, Walking Book Club, avalanche awareness, and the sports leagues which include indoor and sand volleyball. Aquatics The Department offers a robust swim instruction program for children 6 months through 12 years. For the youngest age group (6 months – 3 years), these classes are parent and child together (Angelfish). For the next age group (3 & 4 years), Clownfish is offered. There are several levels of swim instruction for 5 to 12 years olds and also for 6 to 12 years olds 691 2 depending on ability. These courses are offered at the Bozeman Swim Center year-round and at the Bogert Pool during the summer months. The Department also offers lifeguard courses and a Water Safety Instructor course. Camps The Department provides several camp options for the community broken down into different age groups including 3 – 5 years, 5 – 7 years, 5 – 10 years, 8 – 10 years, and 11 – 14 years. Camps are offered during spring break, winter break, and summer and include opportunities for all interests including art, fishing, sports, and spring break at The Mill just to name a few. Events Several events are offered throughout the year – many which are free and do not require advance registration. These events include Easter Egg Hunt, Gallatin Valley Earth Day Festival, Discovery Walks, Pickin’ in the Park, Fishing Derby, National Trails Day, Youth Triathlon, Sweet Pea Children’s Run, Wellness in the parks, Walk with Ease, Avalanche Awareness, and Active Aging Week. Monster Mash (a Halloween themed event), Breakfast with Santa, and the Father Daughter Dance all require advance registration and target specific age groups. Preschool Programming for preschoolers is divided up into several different age groups including: • 2 – 3 years: soccer and sports sampler • 2 – 4 years: Roots & shoots, art in the park, gone camping, treasure seekers, strider bike classes, and hometown heroes. • 2 – 6 years: Little Explorers programs including meet the Bozeman Bucks, town harvest garden at MSU, Amaltheia Goat Farm, and touch a truck. • 3 – 4 years: T-ball league, soccer, and sports sampler • 3 – 5 years: Nature unleased, harvest party, budding artist, sports sampler, strider bike, and Story Mill sprouts (bugs & slugs and spring fever). • 3 – 13 years: programs for this age group provide an opportunity for parents to have a night off and are offered throughout the school year. • 4 – 5 years: T-ball league • 4 – 6 years: Fun on ice • 4 – 7 years: Chinese, French, and Spanish lessons 692 3 School’s Out Activities School Day off events are offered throughout the school year when school is not in session. Programs are offered for 5 to 10 years and include several opportunities including sports, nature, and science. Youth Youth programming is also divided up into several age groups including: • 6 – 7 years: T-ball league • 6 – 12 years: several levels of ice skating and skate boarding • 7 – 9 years: Fun on ice • 8 – 12 years: Chinese, French, and Spanish instruction • 11 – 14 years: Outdoor adventure club including water sports and mountain biking Potential New Core Program Areas Instead of organizing programs by age group, Bozeman might consider using the type of activity to designate core programs. The following list is suggested for future consideration: • Arts • Athletics • Aquatics • Camps • Fitness • General interest • Lifelong learning • Nature/outdoor education • Outdoor adventures Within each area, the goal would be to provide offerings for all age groups (preschool, youth, teen, adult, seniors). Obviously, some core program areas like camps would only include preschool, youth, and teen. Organizing in this fashion helps to create a well-rounded department that is focusing on all areas of recreation. Other Services In addition to the core programs and activities, the Department manages other types of facilities that provide community leisure opportunities. 693 4 Bogert Pool is an outdoor facility that has two swimming areas: a 25-yard lap pool (3.5 – 9 feet in depth) and a shallow pool for young children (1 – 3 feet in depth). The lap pool includes a climbing wall, a small slide, and a zip line. The shallow pool includes a small slide. This facility is typically open from mid-June to late-August each summer. The Swim Center is an indoor aquatic facility with a 50-meter, eight lane lap pool that is typically open year-round. From mid-August to mid-March, it is divided into a 25-yard pool and a 24- meter pool. The Rec Mobile provides recreation to children ages 5 – 10 years in neighborhood parks throughout the spring and summer. Recreation leaders facilitate play that keeps children outside, active, and engaged with peers. These opportunities are available on Monday and Wednesday evenings at different parks. The Bozeman Farmers Market is available late June through mid-September on Tuesday evenings at Lindley Park. The Market features locally grown produce, food vendors, art, and musical entertainment. Several Bozeman facilities are available for rental including Beall Park Recreation Center, Lindley Center, Story Mansion, and Story Mill Community Center. Program Inventory The following is a list of major program categories that park and recreation agencies throughout the country commonly provide. This list helps to identify if there are any common program areas not offered by an agency. Most agencies offer most programs. In matching the Department’s inventory of programs against the list, most of the program areas, 55% are represented. (Blue text represents programs not offered by the Department). Active Adult Aquatics Arts Before/After school Biking Birthday Party Services Childcare Cooking Dance Day/School break camps E-Sports Early Childhood Environmental/Nature Extreme Sports Fitness General Interest Golf Gymnastics/Tumbling Historical programs Homeschool Horseback Riding Ice Skating/Hockey Language Arts Lifelong Learning Martial arts Music Open Gym Outdoor Adventure Pets Pickleball Preschool Running/Walking Seniors Special/Community Events Specialty Camps Sports Instruction Sports Leagues – Adult Sports Leagues - Youth STEM/STEAM Summer Camp (day-long) Sustainability/Green Teen Tennis Theatre/Acting Therapeutic Recreation Trips Wellness For comparison purposes, the consulting team reviewed the program category percentages against its database of park and recreation agencies nationwide. The comparison agencies’ 694 2 average percentage of program categories was 64.5%, which is slightly higher than the Department’s 55%. The program categories depicted in blue text represent opportunities for program menu expansion if aligned with community need. Program Distribution Understanding how the Department’s enrollment-based program menu is distributed across the core program areas helps to identify the extent of programming within each program area in relation to the whole. A total of 329 programs were offered by the Department in 2018 – 2019. Figure 1 depicts the total of programs offered in 2018 – 2019 according to program area and season. Figure 1: Total Programs Offered in 2018-2019 The program with the largest quantity of programs offered was aquatics (160), regardless of season. The second largest quantity of programs offered was preschool (43). Conversely, the areas with the lowest quantity of programs were events (4) but many events do not require advance registration and are not included in this data. These events include the Easter Egg Hunt, Pickin’ in the Park, Youth Triathlon Camps, Youth Triathlon Race, Sweet Pea Children’s Run, Wellness in the Parks, Walk with East, Avalanche Awareness, and Active Aging Week. There are also programs that are run by outside organizations that take their own registration (Skyhawks) and that data is not included here either. It would be ideal for the Department to include all Bozeman programs and events that require a fee into the registration software in an effort to obtain solid data regarding participation. The distribution of the core program areas in relation to each other is depicted in Figure 2. 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 ActiveAging Adult Aquatics Camps Events Preschool School'sOut Youth Total Programs offered in 2018-2019, by Category and Season Winter Spring Summer Fall 695 3 Figure 2: 2018-2019 Program Distribution Age Segmentation The age segment analysis reviews the distribution of the program offerings according to the age segments serviced. For the purposes of this assessment, BerryDunn delineated age categories according to the following age structure: • Early Childhood, ages 0 – 5 years • Youth, ages 6 – 12 years • Teen, ages 13 – 17 years • Adult, ages 18 – 54 years • Active Adults, ages 55+ years • All Ages Aquatics48.8% Preschool13.1% Camps11.3% Active Aging10.7% Youth10.1% Adult2.4%School's Out2.4%Events1.2% Program Distribution 696 4 BerryDunn tallied the number of registration-based program opportunities geared toward age groups for four seasons. If a program section spanned clearly across age categories (e.g., ages 4 – 8 years), BerryDunn counted that section once in early childhood and once in youth. Figure 3 displays the Department’s 2018-2019 program menu’s percentage of programs according to each age segment. Figure 3: Age Segmentation of Enrollment-Based Programs Offered 2018-2019 A high percentage of programs, 49%, were designated for early childhood. Of all the age- specific programming, 91% are designed for youth under the age of 18 years. A small percentage of programs were offered for adults, ages 18 to 54. The age segmentation analysis is one helpful method to review the Department’s programming related to the community demographics. Demographic data can be helpful to consider how programming efforts are aligned with the makeup of the community. The adjacent comparison of the community’s population and enrollment-based program offerings in Figure 4 demonstrates Early Childhood (0-5 years)49% Youth (6-12 years)40% Active Adult (55+ years)8% Teen (13 -17 years)2%Adult (18 -54 years)1%All Ages0% Age Segmentation of Programs Offered 2018-2019 697 5 two key age segments’ relationship between the population percentage and the percentage of programs offered. Figure 4: Population vs. Program Menu A large percentage (91%) of the Department’s enrollment-based programs are designed for youth, while the youth age segment represents 22% of the community’s population. Adults, ages 20 years and up, make up 78% of the population, while 9% of programs are designed for adults. The notion of offering most of the programming for youth is consistent with most park and recreation agencies’ program menus across the country; that said, the percentage of youth programming is more often within the 60 – 75% range. The program menu’s age segmentation does not need to mirror the community’s age demographic segmentation in an exact manner; however, an ongoing goal can be to balance the menu toward a reflection of the community makeup. Program Enrollment Total enrollment into Department’s programs was 3,414 in 2019. Aquatics had the highest enrollment with 1,092 participants, followed by preschool at 783, and camps at 661. Figure 5 shows all the programs and the percentage of each of the whole. There are some programs that are offered by other organizations who take their own registration (Skyhawks) and this data is not included in any of these analyses. 22% of population 91% of programs Youth 78% of population 9% of programs Adult 698 6 Figure 5: Enrollment by Core Program Area for 2018-2019 Aquatics accounted for a third (32%) of the 2018-2019 enrollments, and preschool and camps accounted for approximately one-fifth of the programming each, 21% and 19% respectively. Aquatics accounted for nearly half (48.8%) of the program menu and 32% of all enrollments, which is typical due to the smaller class size and the advertisement of several course sections that can be combined, if needed. For camps and preschool, the percentage of participants is greater than the percentage of courses offered. Figure 6 depicts the courses offered and their respective enrollments as a percentage of the whole.

This type of assessment helps to determine if the Department staff need to develop new and more innovative programs, reposition programs in the decline state, or continue with the current balance of life cycle stages. BerryDunn based this assessment on staff members’ opinions of how their core programs were categorized according to four life cycle stages: introduction, growth, mature, and decline. Table 1 outlines the description of those life cycle stages and the Department’s percentage of programs within each stage. Table 1: Life Cycle Stages Life Cycle Stage Description Department Percentage Introduction Getting a program off the ground, heavy marketing 2% Growth Moderate and interested customer base, high demand, not as intense marketing 60% Mature Steady and reliable performer, but increased competition 38% Decline Decreased registration 0% Figure 7 depicts the percentage of the programs in each life cycle stage. A healthy balance between the stages is optimal, with the bulk of the programs in the growth and mature stages. That is certainly the case in Bozeman with 98% of the programs I the growth and mature stages. 0%10%20%30%40%50%60% Active Aging Adult Aquatics Camps Events Preschool School's Out Youth Bozeman Courses and Participation Participation Courses 700 8 Figure 7: Life Cycle Stages As a normal part of the planning cycle, there should always been programs in the introduction stage that bring new and innovative programming to the menu. In Bozeman, the introduction stage includes 2% of programs. Creating new programming should be a focus for Department programming staff. There will typically also be programs in the decline stage; those programs that should be either repositioned or decommissioned. The Department has no programs in the decline stage. Figure 8 provides a visual presentation of all core programs and their respective spread across life cycle stages. Introduction2% Growth60% Mature38% Decline0% Bozeman Life Cycle of 2018-2019 Programs by Stage 701 9 Figure 8: Life Cycle Distribution of Programs Programming staff should strive to have program areas include courses that fall into all four life cycle stages, with the majority in the growth and mature stages (green and blue in Figure 8). None of the six-core program area include courses in all four of the four life cycle stages. The very small percentage of programs in the introduction stage indicates opportunities to introduce new opportunities across the Department. Other Important Metrics There are additional metrics that are worth tracking when it comes to recreation participation data including cancellation rates, participant residency, and participant reach. Cancellation Rates The difference between the number of courses offered and the number of courses held results in the cancellation rate. A higher rate will generally indicate one of two things: either a) the programming team has been charged with trying new, innovative programs that have not been successful yet; or b) the programs being offered are not meeting the needs of the community. The first scenario requires patience and perseverance to allow time for exploration and to push communication efforts. The second scenario requires research to understand what factors contributed to the program cancellations (e.g., instructor performance, child aged out, or other barriers such as day, time, or transportation). Typically, the target range of a “desirable” cancellation rate is between 10% - 20%, with 12% - 15% being most ideal. Any higher than 20% indicates the staff are doing a great deal of work preparing for and marketing classes that do not run. 0 0 0 0 0 1 12 13 6 1 0 0 2 0 2 0 6 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0%10%20%30%40%50%60%70%80%90%100% Preschool Camps Youth Adult Active Adults Aquatics Bozeman 2018-2019 Life Cycle Distribution of Programs Introduction Growth Mature Decline 702 10 The program data provided by the Department included that 60 programs offered in 2018-2019 (18.2%) had either one or two participants’ registered. It is unclear from the data if these programs were combined with others and held or cancelled. There are no programs listed with zero participants which might indicate that these programs were held. Tracking the cancellation rate from year to year and working to reduce the number of programs cancelled is important. For cost recovery purposes, it is also ideal to set a minimum number of participants for each course (based on the fee and anticipated expenses), advertising that in the seasonal program guide, and sticking to it. It is not clear from the data if this is being done by programming staff on a regular basis. Participant Residency A community park and recreation department’s primary market is its residents. Exploring participation data for residency can monitor whether a department is reaching its intended primary market – its residents. It is unclear from the data provided if the Department tracks resident and nonresident participation on an annual basis. This is another important metric to track from year to year. Participant Reach If the Department is interested in understanding where its current participants are coming from and whether they are missing any geographical areas, a heat map can be created. This information can then be compared to population density. This is another data set that is worth creating and monitoring from year to year. 703 11 Similar Providers Bozeman residents enjoy a wide variety of recreation programs offered by a host of different organizations – some of these are nonprofit groups and others are private businesses. Many of these are provided space for their activities by the Department. Affiliates The Department permits space to several affiliate groups that provide recreation programs to the community. When discussing the permitting process with staff regarding the local sports programs, there was some uncertainly regarding the requirements. Future policies should consider requiring all affiliate groups to require all coaches to submit to a criminal background check, comparing the list of coaches to the state and federal sex offender databases, and charging a special field use fee for nonresident participants. Table 2 includes local affiliate groups that the Department provides park and field space to for their programs.

Due to the low percentage of programs offered by the Department for adults, fitness opportunities within the community were reviewed. There are several private facilities spread out in the community offering fitness opportunities for Bozeman residents. Table 3 includes a small sampling of the facilities and programs available in Bozeman.

Montana Parent has done a great job of summarizing the offerings on their website (https://mtparent.com/bozeman-area-camps). There are opportunities for children of all interests including art, dance (ballet, hip hop, aerial hammock, and choreography), hiking, camping, rock climbing, STEAM (outdoor science, coding, sports, yoga, drumming, karate, performing arts, horseback riding, farm camp, and more. 707 15 Alignment with Community Need ETC conducted a statistically valid survey of the Bozeman community for this project. One of the questions asked about household participation in recreation programs and events offered by the Department – 22% of survey respondents indicated they had participated in a program or event. This is below the national average of 32%. The top reasons for lack of participation in programs included: 1. Not aware of programs offered 2. No time to participate 3. Types of programming not of interest, relevant or desired. ETC has created a priority investment rating (PIR) which combines the importance that residents place on a program with the unmet need. The PIR ratings provide information on where a community should invest resources to add or increase facilities or programs. The top five priorities for investment in recreation facilities and amenities in Bozeman include: • Natural Trails (150) • On-road bike lanes or facilities (135) • Indoor Pool (134) • Outdoor Pool (134) • Paved trails (127) • Nature center (105) The top priorities for program investment in Bozeman include: • Aquatics programming (200) • Arts & Culture (175) • Winter recreation (174) • Fitness (142) • Etiquette programs for park & trail users (125) • Outdoor adventure (125) • History (119) • Outdoor education (107) Combining the priorities for facilities and programming together, there is clearly a need to focus on aquatics as well as outdoor education. With indoor and outdoor pools and aquatics being 708 16 included in the top four for both facilities and programs, aquatic programming and facilities should be a high priority for Bozeman. Finding spaces (possibly through a partner) for arts and culture and history programming are two additional areas of potential focus. In addition, having a nature center and outdoor education both rating high, this type of programming (and potentially creating a new space) should be a priority as well. Bozeman already provides winter recreation, but additional offerings should be explored. 709 17 Recommendations As a result of meetings with staff, the review and analysis of program data, and the statistically valid survey results, the BerryDunn consulting team recommends the following: Program Organization 1. Redefine core program areas to focus on program type rather than age. 2. Expand general program menu to better align with community demographics. 3. Increase programs and services for adult demographic including arts and culture, fitness, adventure, and history. 4. Develop additional programs in Arts, Lifelong Learning, Therapeutic Recreation, Pickleball, and Enrichment. 5. Conduct an in-depth operational assessment including a staffing plan to define roles and responsibilities and to strategically allocate funding. Data Gathering and Tracking 1. Establish metrics for measurement of departmental goals (i.e., program cancellation rate, program reach, new programs offered, and residency). 2. Create performance measurements and a system for consistent tracking. 3. Begin department wide quarterly program evaluation process. Partnerships and Collaborations 1. Enhance existing local public, private and nonprofit partnerships and seek out new ones to fill gaps in service delivery. 2. Create partnership, teaming guidelines and policy to define goals and expectations. 710 ADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTEDADOPTED November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021November 23, 2021 711 2 Acknowledgments This plan was made possible through funding by Gallatin County and the Gallatin Valley Land Trust.

County is one of the fastest growing counties in the western United States. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Gallatin County’s population was 67,831 in 2000, 89,513 in 2010, and 118,960 in 2020, the latest year for which population estimates are available. With an estimated 75% population growth since 2000, Gallatin County is rapidly changing. The Triangle area of Gallatin County, which is generally the area between Bozeman, Four Corners, and Belgrade, is experiencing change as a direct result of this population growth. With its proximity to existing development and availability of public services, the Triangle area is expected to see a continued increase in development as Gallatin County’s population grows. Recognizing its unique place in the County, the Triangle has been subject to several studies and plans over the past decade. Gallatin County, City of Belgrade, and the City of Bozeman all play a role in the development of the area. In 2016, these three jurisdictions created the Planning Coordination Committee (PCC) to focus on issues and opportunities within the Triangle. The PCC was established through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that outlined the need for coordination and communication between the City of Bozeman, the City of Belgrade, and Gallatin County, to support growth and development patterns as they expand in this area of the Gallatin Valley. The MOA identified issues around infrastructure, public safety, parks and trails, neighborhood design, and other land use concerns that would benefit from cooperative planning. In 2019, the Planning Coordination Committee (PCC) developed the Triangle Community Plan to coordinate land use development patterns, deliver community services and infrastructure, and protect important environmental resources, all in a manner that supports community values and vision while responding to rapid growth pressures. During the process to develop that plan, public comments highlighted the need to develop a coordinated trail plan for the area. The work to develop this Triangle Trails Plan is a direct result of the Triangle Community Plan.Triangle Area 715 6 Plan PurposeThe Triangle Trails Plan will guide the development of non-motorized pedestrian and bicycle recreation and transportation infrastructure in future developments within the Triangle area. The communities of Belgrade and Bozeman have plans for trail connectivity, but the rapidly growing Triangle area of Gallatin County lacks a guiding document to ensure future trail development and connectivity. This plan serves as an extension and complement to the existing Belgrade Parks and Trails Master Plan and the soon-to-be-created and -adopted City of Bozeman Parks, Recreation, and Active Transportation Plan (PRAT). Anticipating significant new public and private development in the Triangle Area, this plan creates the vision to ensure that a trail and pathway system for safe recreation and transportation is created over the long term. Developers, landowners, and homeowners will benefit from a clear, predictable, and inspiring vision for a trail, pathway, and linear park system. Project GoalsThe project goals expand upon the purpose of the plan to further clarify the intent and anticipated outcomes of the planning process. The project goals are: • Create a vision for guiding future trail development and connectivity • Identify key corridor and connections within the Triangle area • Provide clear and predictable expectations for developers, landowners, and homeowners for trail and pathway development • Propose implementation strategies to guide Gallatin County, Belgrade, and Bozeman in the completion and maintenance of the proposed trail network PartnersGallatin County and the Gallatin Valley Land Trust are leading this effort with support from the City of Belgrade and the City of Bozeman. 716 7Triangle Trails Plan Plan Vision The plan vision is an expression of the partners and community’s desired future for trails in the Triangle Area. The five themes below capture what community members most value about trails, recreation and their community, and articulate a shared vision of what they want their trail system to become. During the fall of 2020, through a series of stakeholder meetings and a public virtual open house, the following themes emerged to create these vision statements. Connected Network The trail network should connect communities and neighborhoods to places people want to go with continuous routes and convenient connections. This includes destinations such as home, school, employment, shopping, recreation, public services and transit. The existing and proposed multi-use trails should connect seamlessly to the greater transportation and recreational trails networks. Safe and Welcoming Routes should be physically safe and perceived as safe and welcoming by all users. Safe means minimal conflicts with vehicular traffic and easy to navigate routes that are well marked. Inclusive for All Trails should accommodate the non-motorized mobility of residents of all ages and abilities. The network should employ principles of universal design. Consistent Standards The network should use consistent standards that span across jurisdictions. Achievable Implementation The plan should establish clear and economical methods for completing the network to complement adjacent private development. 717 8 Trails enhance public health, environmental sustainability, and our sense of community. Definitions of Terminology Below are definitions of terminology as the words will be used in this plan. These definitions align with those found in state and local laws, widely accepted industry sources and technical manuals associated with trail and transportation systems. ADA: The 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a landmark piece of legislation designed to ensure a more inclusive America, where every person has the right to participate in all aspects of society. One aspect of the legislation is defining accessibility standards for public infrastructure such as sidewalks, crosswalks, and other transportation facilities like trails. The Trail Use Classification and Characteristics standards in Appendix D addresses ADA trail accessibility. Active Transportation: Active transportation is a means of getting around that is powered by human energy, primarily walking and bicycling. As opposed to ‘non-motorized transportation’ the term ‘active transportation’ expresses the key connection between healthy, active living and our transportation choices. Bicycle: Bicycles are a vehicle propelled primarily by human power on which any person may ride irrespective of the number of wheels, except scooters, wheelchairs, and similar devices. The term includes e-bike. E-Bike: E-bike means an electronically assisted bicycle on which a person may ride that has two tandem wheels and an electric battery capable of propelling the bicycle and an average rider no faster than 20 miles an hour on a level surface. Equestrian: Equestrians are skilled horseback riders. Equestrians generally use soft surface trails for traveling by horseback for the purpose of transportation or leisure. Micromobility: Micromobility describes a category of transportation modes utilizing light weight devices operating at speeds below 15 mph, ideal for short trips. Devices include shared and personal scooters and bicycles (both human-powered and those with electric motors, both docked and dockless), skateboards (both human-powered or with electric motors), and hoverboards (electric powered one or two-wheeled boards like a Segway without a handle). Multimodal Transportation: Multimodal transportation incorporates diverse transportation options, typically including walking, cycling, public transit and automobiles. Multimodal transportation planning accounts for the differing capabilities of various modes, including their availability, speed, density, costs, limitations, land use factors that affect accessibility, and therefore their most appropriate uses. Natural Fines: Natural fines are a finely crushed stone mix that provides a user-friendly trail surface for all types and ages of visitors, including strollers, wheelchairs, and bikes. If built properly natural fines trails can meet the specification for a “firm and stable” surface as defined in current federal guidelines for accessible trails. Trails are an integral part of the Gallatin Valley’s quality of life 718 9Triangle Trails Plan Non-Motorized Transportation: Non-motorized includes any form of transportation that provides personal mobility by methods other than a combustion motor. Pedestrian: A pedestrian is any person on foot or any person in a manually or mechanically propelled wheelchair or other low-powered, mechanically propelled device designed specifically for use by a physically disabled person. Shared Use Paths: Shared use paths are a type of trail designed to be part of the overall transportation system by providing dedicated and separated non-motorized travel routes for a variety of users. Trails: Throughout this plan the terms ‘trail’ and ‘trails’ are used generally to reference any type of trail or path. When referring to a certain type of trail more specific names will be used such as “natural surface trail” or “shared-use path”. Universal Design: Universal design is the design of buildings, products or environments to make them accessible to all people, regardless of age, disability or other factors. Walkable: The term ‘walkable’ refers to streets, trails, and places designed, constructed, or reconstructed to provide safe and comfortable facilities for pedestrians of all ages and abilities. Wayfinding System: A wayfinding system is an integrated collection of user-friendly informational signage that convey consistent accurate information for trail users about navigation, direction, destinations, distances, and etiquette. A comprehensive wayfinding system is an essential element of a community trail network. “Trails have been shown to improve quality of life, promote health, sense of community, and more. When communities invest in trails, they are also building a trail culture. Outdoor recreation opportunities attract new residents, new businesses, and create a sense of pride for the communities that build them. Trails bring people together by building a social infrastructure that bonds its citizens by bringing them outdoors.” -- Why Trails? - American Trails 719 10 The Importance of Trails Community ValuesTrails were consistently prioritized as highly valued community amenities during public outreach for the Triangle Community Plan. As detailed later in this plan, trails for recreation and transportation are top community priorities identified in numerous local planning documents including Envision Gallatin, Belgrade Growth Policy and the Bozeman Community Plan. “Walking is man’s best medicine” – Hippocrates Trails provide people an enjoyable, and healthy way to move throughout our communities. They are important safe routes to and from schools, parks, and playgrounds. Trails build social capital by connecting neighborhoods to one another. They provide efficient connections between commercial districts for work and commerce. Trails increase property values of adjacent homes and businesses. A robust trail system promotes active transportation and delivers the community a triple- bottom line of socio-cultural benefits, public health benefits, and environmental benefits. 720 11Triangle Trails Plan Inclusive and AccessibleTo develop an inclusive trail system that serves the differing needs of trail users, consideration should be given to providing trails that serve various age groups, modes of travel, universal accessibility, and ability levels from beginners to advanced. • Provide a diversity of trails and trail linkages to promote walking, biking, and micromobility as both a recreation activity and a transportation option. • Provide staging and parking areas at neighborhood and regional parks with trail access for all users. • Develop all new Commuter Trails and most Connector Trails to exceed the minimum ADA standards for accessibility to create a variety of exceptional active transportation and recreation opportunities for those with mobility challenges. Healthier LifestylesThe 2007 Bozeman PROST Plan established that the local trails are the City’s most utilized recreation facilities. This is not unique to Bozeman, as throughout the country walking and biking on local trails are low-cost, low-impact recreation and exercise options for people of all ages and abilities. In 2020 American Trails published a guide highlighting the health benefits of trails: Mental Health Benefits of Trails • • Spending even 20 minutes outside will have short term effects on the brain to reduce stress. • • Countless studies show people self-reporting reduced stress, clearer thought patterns, more optimism, and an overall heightened sense of well-being after being outdoors. • • We are now seeing more medical practitioners prescribe time in the outdoors as a way to combat depression, anxiety, and other health related issues. Physical Health Benefits of Trails • • For every dollar spent on trails, there is a three-dollar savings in health care costs. • • More overall physical activity is measured in communities after trails are built. • • Cardiovascular benefits are seen across all trail user types. This means healthier hearts, and a reduction in preventable disease for trail users. • • Commuting by foot or bike gains popularity when trails go into a community. This both reduces traffic and creates a healthier, more physically active community. “Trails, by their very nature, promote social, racial, gender, and economic equity. They are almost always free to use, are available 24/7/365, and provide transportation alternatives no matter what mode of travel you use.” --Trails Move People Coalition 721 12 Transportation ChoicesPeople make transportation choices based on a variety of issues like cost, convenience, environmental impacts, and personal health. Financial considerations include cost of owning (car loan, insurance) and operating (gas, maintenance, parking) a personal vehicle. For some it may be more convenient to drive because of the distance between destinations. While others may find it inconvenient to drive because of traffic. Choosing to commute by walking or bicycling is part of a healthy lifestyle for some. A safe, well-maintained, connected trail system provides more residents with the option to walk or bicycle as a primary means of transportation. Whether for work or accessing goods and services, the better the trail network the more residents will choose active transportation as a less expensive, healthier, and environmentally friendly option over driving a personal vehicle. What is Active Transportation? “Active transportation is a means of getting around that is powered by human energy, primarily walking and bicycling. Often called “non-motorized transportation,” we prefer the term “active transportation” since it is a more positive statement that expresses the key connection between healthy, active living and our transportation choices. Communities that prioritize active transportation tend to be healthier by enabling residents to be more physically active in their daily routines and by having cleaner air to breathe. Active transportation systems also foster economic health by creating dynamic, connected communities with a high quality of life that catalyzes small business development, increases property values, sparks tourism and encourages corporate investment that attracts a talented, highly educated workforce.” --Partnership for Active Transportation Example of one Bozeman resident’s annual cost savings, CO2 reduction, and health benefits from commuting by walking and biking as calculated by Go Gallatin www.gogallatin.org 722 13Triangle Trails Plan Chapter 2: Proposed Trail System Overview The proposed network outlined in this chapter was developed through input obtained during the virtual open house, meetings with project stakeholders, consideration of previous planning efforts, and the analysis of existing conditions and constraints within the Triangle. The existing land uses will guide how development of the trail network is completed. For properties that are undeveloped and/or used for agricultural purposes, proposed trails will only be developed if the landowner chooses to build those trails. Otherwise, future trails will only be constructed with the development of the private property or as part of public right-of-way projects. This plan is intended to be used for future planning, as well as a resource in the development review process. This plan will guide community decision-makers when properties are proposed for subdivision and development. The plan maps show approximate locations of future trail corridors, based on ideal locations, that will meet the vision of the plan and serve existing and future residents if these properties are developed. However, trail network expansion and connectivity will be prioritized before strictly following the exact trail alignment depicted in this plan. If property owners choose not to develop their land, the trails shown on the maps will not be created unless the property owners voluntarily agree to do so. Future trail corridors are not shown through areas that are already built out. If any of these areas are redeveloped at higher densities, trail connections should be considered. Because future growth patterns cannot be fully anticipated, future trails may need to be constructed in locations other than those shown on the plan maps. Additionally, trails within developments and neighborhoods are not shown on the map but should be included and designed as a best practice for developments. Only connectivity priorities are shown on the map. Trails promote active transportation and healthy lifestyles 723 14 Guiding Principles The overall vision of the Triangle Trail Plan is to develop an integrated, connected trail network and develop implementation strategies to construct and maintain the network. Key components of this visionary trail system include: • Connectivity (between places people want to go) • Safety (decrease conflicts between users and vehicles) • Inclusivity (surfaces, abilities, user groups) • Consistency (in and between jurisdictions) User and Trail Typologies Establishing clearly defined typologies of trail users and trail facilities is critical to identifying which trails best serve the intended uses and users. The typologies established below are intended to not only provide common nomenclature for this and future plans, but also to identify consistent characteristics. Appendix D: Trail Classifications and Design Standards establishes physical specifications for each trail type including width, grade, cross-sections, and materials. User Typologies To strategically plan a trail network, consideration must be given to the types of users based on activity, ability, and mode of mobility. Identifying and understanding the wide- ranging uses, differing abilities, and a variety of modes inform trail location, typology, design standards, associated amenities, and required maintenance. The primary trail users are pedestrians and bicyclists, both groups are categorized and described below in terms of utilitarian, recreational, and family characteristics. Defining attributes common between groups and categories include age, ability, and purpose. People with disabilities are an essential user group that must be considered and accommodated with accessible trail design of commuter trails and most connector trails, maintenance standards, and trail etiquette. To help ensure the safety of the listed user groups, motorized vehicles, including ATVs and snowmobiles, should not be permitted on any of the trails proposed in this plan. Regulation of users will ultimately be the responsibility of the appropriate jurisdiction for which the trail is located. “Shared use paths should be thought of as a system of off-road transportation routes for bicyclists and other users that extends and complements the roadway network. Shared use paths should not be used to preclude on-road bicycle facilities, but rather to supplement a network of on-road bike lanes, bicycle boulevards, and paved shoulders.” --AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities 724 15Triangle Trails Plan Pedestrians Pedestrians are one of the primary users of the trail system. People walk for a variety of reasons which are generally described below. The needs of pedestrians for a safe and welcoming environment must be considered for each of the three trail types. Those needs are better understood by identifying the defining characteristics of the three types of pedestrians. Utilitarian Pedestrians Recreational Pedestrians Family Pedestrians People walk with the purpose of commuting to work or school, traveling for everyday services, or as a primary means of transportation. Often this kind of walking is done using the existing sidewalk system. But given the opportunity, utilitarian pedestrians will utilize connector and commuter trails. Utilitarian pedestrian trips typically involve a single individual and range in length from a quarter mile to two miles. Therefore, it is important that logical connections are made between trail and sidewalk networks to provide efficient and safe travel routes. A comprehensive wayfinding system is essential to communicate distance and directions. Many people use the different trail types for recreational purposes which includes walking for enjoyment and exercise. This type of pedestrian utilizes both the trail and sidewalk networks but likely prefers trails if conveniently located and well maintained. Recreational walking involves single individuals or often pairs of people. Recreational outings vary from a quarter mile to many miles (particularly for exercise). Runners are included in this user typology and they travel at higher speeds and for longer distances than their walking peers. Recreational pedestrians need some comfort amenities, like benches, and benefit from a comprehensive wayfinding system. Families include the widest range of age groups including small children and elderly walkers. Because of this diversity of ages, trails for family- oriented pedestrians should accommodate all ability levels. To be adequately inclusive, the trail system must include properly constructed and maintained connector trails and commuter shared-use paths. Family pedestrian groups usually number between two and six walkers that often move at a slower pace than the other pedestrian types. Trails intended for family pedestrian use should incorporate more amenities such as benches, trash- recycling receptacles, and adjacent places to linger, interact and rest. 725 16 Bicyclists Bicyclists are the other primary user typology frequenting the trail network. The variety of cycling users can be characterized similarly to the pedestrian typologies. People of differing ages and abilities bike on each of the trail types requiring a range of needs to be considered when planning, constructing, and maintaining the trail system. Whereas the speeds at which pedestrians, including runners, is fairly uniform, bicyclists travel on trails at a wide range of speeds from 5 to 20 miles per hour. Utilitarian Bicyclists Recreational Bicyclists Family Bicyclists Many people commuting to work or school, traveling for everyday services, or choosing not to drive prefer the efficiency of biking. Utilitarian trips can be longer and completed more quickly by biking than walking. The increased mobility enjoyed by bicyclists often involves linking the street network and trail system for longer trips sometimes more than five miles. Commuter trails are critical infrastructure for utilitarian bicyclists and require a comprehensive wayfinding system that provides accurate directional and distance information. People bike for recreational enjoyment and exercise on all the trail typologies. Recreational bicyclists often use the street network to access the nearest trails but are less comfortable riding on streets without bike lanes. Recreational bike trips can be a short as half a mile to well over ten miles when for exercise. This group of users often ride in groups of two or more, but do not need many trail amenities other than a comprehensive wayfinding system. Bicycling is a popular family activity on the trail system involving children, parents, and grandparents. Considering the needs of the youngest and oldest bicyclists is essential to an inclusive community trail network. Ability level and group size vary greatly with family bicyclists so properly sized and surfaced connector and commuter trails are essential. These trails must also be supported by amenities including benches, trash- recycling receptacles, and generously sized areas adjacent to the trail where families can rest and socialize without blocking the trail itself. 726 17Triangle Trails Plan Other User and Mobility Typologies Trail users and their travel modes are more diverse than the utilitarian, recreational, and family typologies described above. Below are some additional users and modes that must also be considered. The best way to inclusively manage all these users and modes is by establishing a code of trail etiquette clearly educating, and prominently reminding, all trail users of the rules. Electric Bicyclists Rollers Cross Country Skiers Electric bikes are becoming more common for utilitarian uses. How the trail network accommodates e-bike and mitigates potential user conflicts need to be considered as part of planning, building, and operating a robust trail system. Gallatin County, the City of Belgrade and the City of Bozeman should develop unified standards for the use of e-bikes in order to create consistent expectations and safety through the greater trail network. The trail system is also used by people using inline skates, skateboards, kick scooters, and electric scooters on commuter trails. Paved shared- use paths should be designed, constructed, and maintained to safely accommodate all these modes. People use these other modes on commuter trails for recreational and utilitarian purposes, just like pedestrians and bicyclists. During the winter season, people commonly cross- country ski on neighborhood and connector trails. And like the other user types, cross country skiers range in ages and abilities. Dog Walkers Equestrian Dogs may love trails more than their owners, so their needs and the dynamics they create should be considered when planning and maintaining an inclusive network of community trails. Most notable is the necessity to provide and maintain dog waste stations along all trail types. The number and frequency of dog waste stations are critically important to keeping trails clean for all users. Equestrian and horseback riding have always had a presence in Gallatin County. Equestrian use would be appropriate for neighborhood trails, but not for commuter or connector trails. Subdivisions and neighborhoods that include equestrian facilities as part of their trail development will need to develop strategies for minimizing conflicts between users, appropriate trail maintenance and using signage for clarifying appropriate use of trails. 727 18 Trail Typologies The 2017 Bozeman Transportation Master Plan recognizes two off-street active transportation facility types: shared-use paths and natural surface trails. The more recent Triangle Community Plan identifies three types of trails: The Triangle Trails Plan adopts and perpetuates the three trail typologies from the Triangle Community Plan—neighborhood, connector, and commuter—as described in the following table. To reiterate, trails of all types are off-street transportation facilities and should not preclude on-street bicycle facilities such as bike lanes, bicycle boulevards, and paved roadway shoulders. “Non-motorized transportation systems will be a priority and developed at three levels: neighborhood trails that connect locally to parks and open space; connector trails that connect together meaningful destinations, such as neighborhoods, schools, and hubs of commercial activity; and commuter pathways that connect larger community nodes.” “A variety of trail types are essential to build a comprehensive multi-modal trail network” 728 19Triangle Trails Plan Commuter Trails Connector Trails Neighborhood Trails DescriptionCommuter trails are wide with durable surfaces intended for higher speed travel between community destinations. Commuter trails are categorized as Class I trails that are between 10 and 12 feet wide shared-use path constructed of an impervious surface such as asphalt or concrete. Commuter trails are separated facilities from adjacent streets and roadways. Ideally a network of commuter trails would connect major points of origins, such as subdivisions, with primary destinations, such as commercial districts. Connector trails are generous in size and constructed of natural materials that connect neighborhood destinations such as housing, schools, and commercial hubs. Connectors are classified as Class II trails that are 6-foot wide ADA accessible surfaces of natural fines or compacted crushed gravel. Connector trails provide critical access as network extensions to and from commuter trails. Neighborhood trails are soft surfaced, local paths. These trails are classified as Class III trails that range between 4 and 6 feet wide and may be established over time by repeated use. Neighborhood trails are to be designed and constructed as part of future subdivisions. When possible, they should connect to neighborhood parks and the larger trail system. UsesThis portion of the trail network is intended to facilitate traveling longer distances as efficiently as possible. These multi-use trails are used for both recreation and commuting. These trails provide connections within neighborhoods and connect to parks and nearby community amenities. 729 20 Commuter Trails (cont.) Connect Trails (cont.) Neighborhood Trails (cont.)MaintenanceFor maximum utilization for commuting, shared-use paths need to be plowed in the winter and swept of debris in the spring. Otherwise, maintenance involves periodic asphalt sealing and patching. These trails accommodate heavy bi-directional multi-use in a safe manner. Connectors need annual maintenance involving weeding, tree trimming, raking, and periodic application of additional surface materials. The maintenance is minimal with occasional vegetation trimming.Design Summary*Trail Width: • 10-feet surface with 2-feet shoulders Grade: • Up to 5%, some short sections up to 12.5% Material: • Asphalt or concrete • Porous surfaces used in sensitive areas Trail Width: • 6-8 feet surface with 2-feet clear area Grade: • Up to 5%, some short sections up to 10% Material: • ADA acceptable surface Trail Width: • 4-6 feet surface Grade: • To follow natural topography and provide positive drainage Material: • Natural surfaces *Complete design recommendations are located in Appendix D 730 21Triangle Trails Plan Proposed Network The expansion of the trail network will provide recreation and transportation opportunities throughout the Triangle Area. The proposed network maps identify new Commuter and Connector trails. New neighborhood trails are not shown on the plan maps, as they are intended to be designed and built within future development. Proposed trail alignments shown are a ‘planning level’ representation of intended routes, which provide connections between destination points, and desirable trail experiences for a variety of users. In the final implementation of proposed trails, adjustments and modifications to the alignments shown are expected. Such adjustments may be required to navigate environmental features, avoid wildlife habitat, accommodate landowner desires, jurisdictional requirements, and complement future land development projects. These adjustments should be expected and accommodated, so long as the adjustments do not compromise the original intent of the planning level alignment. Commuter Trails (Class I) Because commuter paths are generally designed for higher speeds and longer travel distances, these routes are generally shown to follow existing and future street corridors. When identifying which corridors were most suitable for commuter paths, emphasis was placed on the following: • Existing multi-use paths • Proximity to community facilities such as schools, parks, and commercial areas The commuter trail network seeks to connect all portions of the Triangle area with the greater Gallatin Valley. Many of the routes shown on the plan maps extend beyond the boundaries of this plan and form the heart of a larger regional trail system. Where there are existing trails along the proposed routes, efforts should be made to improve trails for safety and accessibility as needed. Connector Trails (Class II)Connector trails are both transportation and recreation oriented and should provide connections to schools, neighborhoods, parks, points of interest, and other transportation nodes. These trails are typically natural surface trails and are independent of the road network. They may bisect parks and open space, as well as parallel natural features, such as streams and other watercourses. Connector trails provide an important function within the Triangle. These trails can provide connections throughout the community and where possible, should be separated from the street network. These trails can be located in natural environments, enhancing the community’s desire for livability and promote public health. As development occurs within the Triangle area, connector trails can be designed to limit street crossings, thus reducing conflicts, and increasing safety. Neighborhood Trails (Class III)Neighborhood trails connect community features within neighborhoods, such as nearby open spaces, commercial developments, parks, and schools. Neighborhood trails within future developments are not shown on the proposed trails maps because they should be designed and built as part of the neighborhood infrastructure. The following are key considerations for future neighborhood trails: • Trails should be designed as part of a neighborhood’s transportation system • When combined with parks and open space, trails play a vital role in supporting the recreational needs of a neighborhood • Trail should connect with adjoining neighborhoods, as well as adjacent Commuter and Connector Trails • Trails should be designed to accommodate a variety of users • Consider year-round trail use and plan appropriate maintenance • Provide amenities suitable for the neighborhood and anticipated users 731 22 Proposed Triangle Trails Map 732 23Triangle Trails Plan Proposed and Existing Triangle Trails Commuter Trails 733 24 Existing and Proposed Connector Trails 734 25Triangle Trails Plan Chapter 3: Standards & Guidelines Crossings and Roadway Interfaces The Triangle area includes US Highway 191 (Huffine Lane), State Highway 85 (Jackrabbit Lane), I-90 Frontage Road and other significant arterials roads. These highways carry a significant volume of semi- trucks and passenger vehicles, which makes crossing these roads a challenge. To improve user safety and trail connectivity between communities within the Triangle, at-grade and grade separated crossing improvements need to be considered at trail and arterial intersections. At-Grade Crossings Of the three crossing options, building an at-grade crossing may be the least expensive. As many of the trails in the Triangle area cross arterials and major collectors that carry high volumes of traffic, these crossings may be a cost-effective solution since they can be used at signalized intersections. To maximize the safety of at-grade crossings for trail users, crossings will include clear signage, curb cuts, highly visible crosswalks through the intersection, and minimized sight obstructions. Grade Separated Crossings (Elevated or Underpass) When trails need to cross higher speed roadways, grade separation is required for safety. Trail bridges can be expensive as additional property is needed to build the ramps and meet height requirements. Tunnels and underpasses are additional solutions to safely separate trails from high volume/high speed roadways. The viability of tunnels and underpasses is dependent on the number of underground utilities, the level groundwater in the area, and soil conditions. Several tunnels have been built recently within the Triangle area, including under Huffine Lane at Monforton School Road and under Jackrabbit Lane just north of North Star Lane. Watercourses and Irrigation Ditch Protection Gallatin County, the City of Belgrade and the City of Bozeman all require the protection of watercourse corridors through the provision of setbacks. These setbacks protect bank stabilization, reduce stream sediment and pollution, accommodate habitat conservation, and assist with flood management. While designated setbacks may vary based on the type of stream, water corridor, or wetland, the intent is to protect water quality and other ecological values. The following recommendations should be considered for protection of riparian areas when it is not feasible to meet the setbacks. • Align trails along or near existing human-created edges or natural edges • Consider critical habitat and ensure appropriate buffer and separation. • Provide diverse trail experiences so that trail users are less inclined to create trails of their own. • Ensure that trails do not impede the operation and maintenance of water conveyance facilities. While new buffered trails along ditches are identified as priority routes within this plan, developers should be mindful of the important agricultural use of these conveyance systems in the Triangle Area and beyond. Trails along irrigation ditches should be located outside of the ditch and maintenance easement. Natural buffers of parkland or open space flanking trails along ditches can allow for regular maintenance access and mitigate potential adverse impacts from adjacent development. This approach will address potential safety concerns and reduce conflicts with regular ditch operations and maintenance. Projects that wish to build new trails parallel to ditches should consult with the ditch owners on an appropriate alignment and separation. 735 26 Trailheads Trailheads provide an opportunity to offer amenities, provide wayfinding, and create trail access. The size and type of trailhead depends on location, need and expected user groups. Three levels of trailheads are outlined below, ranging from the smallest with limited amenities to the largest with the most amenities. Small Medium Large Small trailheads can be located at the beginning or connecting point to the trail system. The primary intent of small trailheads are to provide wayfinding and route finding. Recommended Amenities: • Identification Sign • Wayfinding Map or Orientation Exhibit Desired Amenities: • Benches • Trash Receptacle Medium trailheads are to be located at destinations with trail connections. In addition to the wayfinding amenities of small trailheads, these locations should include additional amenities appropriate to the location and anticipated needs of the users. Recommended Amenities: • Identification Sign • Wayfinding Map or Orientation Exhibit • Benches • Trash Receptacle Desired Amenities: • Bike Racks • Dog Waste Stations Large trailheads would be appropriate at parks or other public spaces with trail connections. In addition to the wayfinding amenities of medium trailheads, these locations should include additional amenities appropriate to the location and anticipated needs of the users Recommended Amenities: • Identification Sign • Wayfinding Map or Orientation Exhibit • Benches • Trash Receptacle • Bike Racks • Lighting • Dog Waste Stations Desired Amenities: • Water Fountain • Restrooms • Bike Repair Stations 736 27Triangle Trails Plan Trail Amenities Trails only make one part of a safe, user-friendly active transportation network. The trails and paths must be supported by a strategic mix of amenities. The table below outlines the various trail system amenities noting type, locations, and level of necessity. TYPE LOCATIONS NECESSITY NOTES Bathrooms Parks with trail connections and parking areas Preferred Providing bathrooms protects natural areas and water quality Benches Trail gateways, junctions, areas of interest (overlooks, scenic spots, next to water) Expected Important for families and elderly users Bike racks Parks with trail connections, parking areas Desired Strategically located where multi-use trails originate and end Bike Repair Stations Trail gateways, along long stretches of commuter trails Desired Includes tire pump and essential tools Dog Waste Stations Trailheads, parking areas, trail junctions Expected Helps protect aesthetics and cleanliness of trails Lighting Trailheads, parking areas, high volume trail junctions Preferred Lighting should be dark skies compliant, and installed at key location rather than along entire trails Parking As required with parks and open space Desired All parking areas are at trailheads Trash & Recycling Receptacles Parking areas, high volume trail junctions Expected Greatly reduces littering Water Fountains Parks, parking areas, major trail junctions Desired Fountains should accommodate human and dog use Shade Along trails Expected Align trails with existing trees to provide shade, also incorporate new tree planting for additional shade 737 28 Wayfinding The most important trail amenity is wayfinding. In fact, wayfinding is functionally critical to a robust highly functioning community trail network. Although outside the scope of this plan, a comprehensive wayfinding plan should be developed, adopted and implemented by the City of Bozeman, City of Belgrade, and Gallatin County. One wayfinding plan for the entire Triangle trail system, and those in the greater Bozeman and Belgrade areas, would standardize and integrate consistent signage and information across the entire network. Example of wayfinding on GVLT Main Street to Mountains trail system The benefits to a comprehensive wayfinding system include: • Effectively guides all users from place to place • Simply identifies routes, directions, distances, and destinations. • Improves safety by increasing visibility of trail users to motor vehicles. • Helps reduce false perceptions that there is a lack safety, function, and convenience. • Positively promotes inclusivity for all abilities, age groups, and mobility modes. • Further legitimizes active transportation as a viable alternative to driving. The elements of a comprehensive wayfinding system would include: • Access Elements—monuments, informational kiosks at key locations • Navigation Elements—direction, distance, intersection, and turn signs • Enhancement Elements—pavement and mileage markers • Digital Resource—wayfinding app or website that includes an interactive maps A comprehensive wayfinding system would conform to the Manual of Uniform and Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) where applicable and required such as at trail and road intersections. 738 29Triangle Trails Plan Best Practices There are a variety of resources that begin to establish best practices for trail design and construction standards, operations and maintenance guidelines, and user etiquette and safety rules. Each trail type, from dirt single tracks to paved shared use paths, have unique best practices. A bicyclist demonstrating proper trail etiquette by yielding to a pedestrian Trail Etiquette and SafetyEstablishing clearly articulated rules about how to use the trails system creates a safer and more enjoyable experience for all users. It should not be assumed that everyone is familiar and comfortable using trails, therefore trail etiquette information and signage is an important component of ensuring the trail network is welcoming and inclusive. The same etiquette rules should be applied across the entire Triangle trail system to consistently establish expectations. Trail etiquette signage is an important part of a comprehensive wayfinding system. The other key component of a safe and enjoyable trail system for both people and dogs is clearly established and respected canine etiquette rules which are the ultimately the responsibility of dog owners. Additional guidance on e-bike and e-scooter use will be provided by individual jurisdictions. Gallatin Valley Land Trust Trail Etiquette EVERYONE: • Stay on the trails • Be respectful of wildlife • Respect private property • Be courteous to other trail users • Stay right, except when passing • Keep the trail litter free • Watch for downed and falling trees • Avoid using the trail in wet conditions • Report trail maintenance needs • Volunteer your time • Pick up dog waste left by others • Open to all non-motorized users BICYCLISTS: • Yield the right-of-way to pedestrians • Stay to the right & pass on the left • Pass others with care & give courteous verbal notice • Control your speed & be ready to stop if necessary DOG OWNERS: • Leash dogs except in designated off- leash areas • Keep dogs in sight & under voice control in designated off-leash areas • Pick up after your dog • Avoid encounters with wildlife & livestock 739 30 Trail MaintenanceThe required minimum levels of trail maintenance vary significantly by trail type. For instance, natural surface trails require regrading and erosion control, whereas paved paths necessitate sealing and crack repairs. In addition to the annual and long-term tasks, seasonal maintenance of commuter trails is essential to accommodating year-round active transportation. Paved paths must have the snow removed frequently during the winter and be swept of grit and debris each spring. As an example, the Denver Parks and Recreation Department has a robust trail maintenance program that includes ongoing scheduled tasks and ‘as needed’ work, identified below: • Ongoing scheduled tasks: inspections, sweeping, grading, trash removal, pruning, mowing, signage repair. • As needed work: surface repairs, snow removal, weed control, drainage control, habitat enhancement, mapping updates, education, agency coordination, volunteer recruitment, employee/volunteer training. Beyond establishing minimum maintenance requirements by trail type, it is critical to identify who is responsible for the work, coordinate efforts when possible, and secure funding sources. To ensure the proper maintenance is funded and performed a trail maintenance plan should be developed. The maintenance management system utilized by the US Forest Service provides the framework to plan, prioritize, schedule, and track maintenance work, through the following efforts: • Setting specific maintenance goals and standards for levels of service. • Developing the necessary maintenance programs which will provide those levels of service. • Executing those programs using the most efficient combination of resources. • Controlling and evaluating the effectiveness of the work in relation to the desired level of service. • Furnishing cost data from which budgets can be built. Regular maintenance by volunteers, organizations, and government entities is critical to keep trails safe 740 31Triangle Trails Plan SustainabilityPrinciples of sustainability should be applied to the development of all trail types in the Triangle area. While there are many aspects to sustainability, the National Park Service and US Forest Service define sustainable trail development to include: • Preserves area’s natural or cultural resources • Produces negligible soil loss while allowing native vegetation to inhabit the area • Encourages users to stay on the trail by providing an enjoyable experience • Accommodates existing use while allowing only appropriate future use • Withstands the impacts of normal use & natural elements • Requires little rerouting and minimal long-term maintenance Sustainable trail design and construction minimizes soil disruption, controls erosion, accommodates native vegetation, and minimizes maintenance needs. 741 32 742 33Triangle Trails Plan Chapter 4: Understanding Current Conditions Related Plans Numerous existing county and local plans summarized below recognize the intrinsic values of developing and maintaining a strategic interconnected system of trails throughout Gallatin Valley. A complete review of related plans is provided in Appendix B. The most relevant existing plan is the Triangle Community Plan which includes a policy directive to “support the creation and adoption of a trail plan specifically for the Triangle area that supplements and supports Bozeman, Belgrade, and community partner trail plans”. As recognized in the 2020 Triangle Community Plan, all the major rural and urban community plans (Four Corners Community Plan, Bozeman Community Plan, Gallatin County Growth Policy and Belgrade Growth Policy) establish goals related to trails: • Establish and support plans and policy for parks, trails, and open space systems that integrate with other area planning documents. • Establish open space, parks and trails along the Gallatin River and other waterways. • Provide viable parks and trails, with plans for long-term maintenance. • Provide a diversity of recreational facilities, activities, and parks. Existing Land Use While the land use in the Triangle area is diverse and evolving, it remains predominantly agrarian. The 2020 Triangle Community Plan provides these characterizations of the primary land uses: Agriculture Land Use“Agricultural operations support dairy and beef cattle, hay production, grain crops, local market vegetable produce, and other specialty products.” Commercial Land Use“From industrial warehouses to retail to growing local businesses in technology and recreation, the Four Corners area and nodes along Huffine and Jackrabbit continue to be desired commercial locations and emerging community hubs. In addition, there are commercial gravel mining operations in the north end of the Triangle.” Residential Land Use“Residential developments and larger, multi-phase subdivisions continue to populate the Triangle. The diversity of developments offers different housing options to the market from large country estate lots to multi-family housing.” Most of the existing trail network was constructed in conjunction with land development. Neighborhood trails are typically installed when a new subdivision is built, but these segments are often disconnected from one another and the larger network. More recently, some road construction projects include new trails along the right-of-way but separated from the vehicle lanes. 743 34 Geography of the Triangle The geography of the Triangle is flat with the overall surface gradient of less than 100 feet per mile generally sloping from southeast to northwest. The altitude ranges from about 4,800 feet along Huffine Lane to approximately 4,500 feet near Interstate 90. The primary geographic features are a variety of waterways. Four tributaries of the East Gallatin River—Baxter, Aajker, Hyalite, and Dry Creeks—traverse the Triangle from south to north. Numerous irrigation ditches and intermittent drainage swales crisscross between the creeks providing water to agricultural properties. The near-surface geology of the Triangle is predominantly clay soils and alluvial gravels. Existing Trail System There are approximately 58.29 miles of trails in the Triangle including 38.85 miles of natural surface trails, and 19.44 miles of paved shared use paths. Most of the trail segments are within subdivisions on the eastern side of the Triangle near Bozeman. The longest continuous trail (6.6 miles) is the shared use path along the east side of Jackrabbit Lane between Hulbert Road East and Shedhorn Drive. The longest east-west trail (4.5 miles) is the shared use path along the south side of East Valley Center Road between Valley Center Spur and Jackrabbit Lane. The existing trail network has been built over decades in conjunction with private land development and public road projects. Most trails constructed during the development of residential subdivisions have been on a voluntary basis. Gallatin County, City of Bozeman, and City of Belgrade have differing regulations that determine if trails are a required component of private development projects. Recently a significant mileage of trails has been added to the system as part of municipal, county, and state road construction projects. The Triangle area geography showing prime agriculture land, [source: Envision Gallatin] Existing Trails within the Triangle Area 744 35Triangle Trails Plan Trail Management and Maintenance Trail management and maintenance within the Triangle falls upon many different entities. Most neighborhood trails are maintained by homeowner associations. Trails within the City of Bozeman are maintained as part of the Bozeman Parks Maintenance District. Montana Department of Transportation maintains the paved shared use paths within their right-of- way such as those along East Valley Center Road and Jackrabbit Lane. The Gallatin Valley Land Trust helps with seasonal maintenance on some sections of trail. There is no coordinated management and maintenance plan for the entire network which results in some inconsistencies and inefficiencies. Needs and Issues The purpose of this plan is to identify the challenges of the current trail network and propose solutions. The list below of needs is based upon the public input received during the community engagement process and industry best practices. A complete summary is included in Appendix C. • Develop a comprehensive plan to coordinate both on-going and long-term maintenance. This would include seasonal maintenance (sweeping and snow removal), annual tasks (grading, erosion control, vegetation trimming), and long- term maintenance (repair and resurfacing). • Identify and secure funding for existing trail maintenance and future trail construction. Sources include local support, grant funding, government funding (local, state, and federal). • Establish standard specifications for construction of new trails to be used across the entire Triangle. • Create a comprehensive trail wayfinding system that includes prescribed sign typologies, standardized location specifications, and unified graphics. This system must be uniform along all trails in the Triangle. • Plan and develop a complete trail network to provide transportation and recreation choices across the Triangle. • Identify and connect the gaps between trail segments within the existing network. 745 36 This word cloud captures the key words from public input during the community engagement process in 2020. Existing Commuter Path along Valley Center Road 746 37Triangle Trails Plan Critical public input was gathered during the 2020 community engagement process. Chapter 5: Community Engagement Unique Conditions The Triangle Trails Plan was initiated and completed during the COVID-19 pandemic. This unique circumstance created some challenges and demanded adaptations for public participation. The project designed opportunities for capturing ideas and concerns virtually and used the project website as the hub for all information and engagement (www.triangletrailplan.com). The website tracked over 1,500 engagements during the planning process. Appendix C contains a detailed summary of the public input received. Building Awareness The project built on existing momentum and community engagement from the Triangle Community Plan that was adopted in 2020. The email distribution list developed through that planning process was expanded with additional businesses, homeowners’ associations, community centers and organizations that have a recreation, development or transportation focus. The project also sent letters to all the large landowners in the project area that provided project information and contacts. The project also utilized the reach of list serves, social media and websites of project partners, interested organizations and businesses. The email updates and social media posts alerted residents to new opportunities to participate and provide comment. News releases to local media outlets launched the project. As the project advanced additional news releases, op eds and articles were published in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle and Belgrade News. Steering Committee Guidance A highly engaged Steering Committee with representatives from Gallatin Valley Land Trust, Belgrade, Bozeman, and Gallatin County met monthly to provide direction and respond to public input. The Steering Committee also organized three bike tours of the project area. These tours offered intimate experience of current conditions and identified opportunities the plan could highlight. What barriers stop YOU from using trails? 747 38 Engagement Opportunities The website was the central focus for project information and opportunities to respond to polls and surveys. Having a stand-alone website made access easy and convenient. The website also included a sign up for the project mailing list which grew to over 350 contacts. Community members were asked to help the project by providing information on a mapping platform. The community first identified existing trails in the project area, both official and unofficial. This crowd-sourcing provided a realistic base map of trail infrastructure and current travel routes. The second mapping exercise focused on where people would like future trails. Participants were able to map destination locations as well as preferred travel routes. A dozen focus groups with over 50 total participants were organized and conducted over Zoom. These focus groups targeted diverse interests and sought to represent those voices that may not be as likely to participate through the website. Focus group categories included agriculture, recreation, diversity and minority voices, schools, transportation, community development, water resources, developers and real estate, health, and fish and wildlife. A Virtual Open House was hosted on the website in November 2020 and provided an opportunity to comment on a variety of issues from trail design to location to funding and uses. This forum included multiple choice questions, open ended questions, mapping, and visioning opportunities. The input from the Virtual Open House was combined with the focus group and other website surveys to identify the core elements of the plan. A summary of the project’s community engagement is included in Appendix C. Reporting and Publishing Progress reports were provided to local government boards and committees and published on the website. The focus group participants were also asked to review the draft plan and respond to a survey to indicate support and propose friendly amendments. The draft and final plans were presented to the Steering Committee, Gallatin County, and Gallatin Valley Land Trust, and posted on the website with a response sheet to record level of public support and recommended edits for each section of the plan. Summary By compiling and analyzing the feedback from the focus groups and open house, the following themes were identified and guided the development of this plan. Trail System • Connecting communities, neighborhoods, and places • Tiered approach with commuter pathways, connector trails & neighborhood trails • Completing missing segments of trails corridors • Provide for equity and diversity of users with low user conflicts • Create a system that can have year-round use Safety • Create opportunities to have trails separated from traffic • Consider standards for road crossings, adequate sight distance and lighting • Provisions for maintenance must include regular sweeping and snow removal • Create trails that are safe and welcoming to all users, addressing the specific concerns of women and people of color 748 39Triangle Trails Plan Inclusivity • Consistent wayfinding for unity across jurisdictions • Education signs for the types of uses / customs • Maps, distances, and destinations • Multiple languages – inclusion and welcoming • Smart phone application integrated • Benches, water, trash and recycling, interpretation, and toilets Standards • Consistent standards across jurisdictions for trail development • Standard details for different trail types, intersections, and street crossings • Stream and ditch setback standards • Provide consistent wayfinding • Include standards for amenities such as, benches, water, trash and recycling, and toilets • Include standards for landscaping, aesthetics, nature, and gardens Implementation • Plan will establish priorities, recommended policies, and regulations • Trail construction should be integrated with subdivision development • Commuter and connector trails will need to be funded from a variety of sources • Construction and maintenance funding sources should be identified 749 40 750 41Triangle Trails Plan Chapter 6: Implementation Overview This chapter is structured to highlight implementation issues and opportunities that will lead to suc-cessful completion of the Trail Plan. The goal to build an interconnected network of trails and path- ways throughout the Triangle Area is a commendable goal. However, there are fundamental questions that must be answered if the actual attainment of the trail network is to be realized. How will trails be established, who is responsible for prioritization, who pays for construction, and how will the trails be maintained? This chapter contains recommendations that can move the plan from concept through completion. While this plan establishes the vision and provides guidance for trail development, successful implementation necessitates cooperation between Gallatin County, the Cities of Belgrade and Bozeman, private landowners, non-profit partners, and citizens to turn the vision into reality. Project Coordination There is an opportunity in the Triangle area to take steps towards implementing trail segments identified in this plan. Coordination between Gallatin County, the cities of Bozeman and Belgrade, non-profit organizations, and the private development community will be essential to the success of this trail system. Commuter Pathways The Commuter Paths shown on the trail plan maps are located parallel to existing or proposed roads. As the County considers future road improvements, adjacent trail improvements should be incorporated into road improvement plans. Connector Pathways The Connector Paths shown on the proposed trail maps are intended to be developed with future development. These trails will need to be coordinated with private property owners and regulated by development code requirements. Neighborhood Trails Neighborhood Trails will be constructed at the time of subdivision development. Given the likelihood of continued development in the Triangle area, it is important for this plan to address the implementation of this trail type within a framework of opportunistic growth over time rather than according to a log-ical and linear pattern. While neighborhood trails do not have specific alignment requirements on the map, trails are required within subdivisions that make sense for the site plan and create connectivity to outside of the development either to adjacent parcels or existing or proposed commuter pathways. Priorities The implementation strategies focus on trail construction and trail maintenance. As emphasized throughout the Trail Plan, properly maintaining the existing trails within the Triangle area is equally important as constructing new trails and important network connections. The primary implementation components for both trail construction and maintenance include: 751 42 Regulations: County and City regulations needed to guide trail development within future subdivision development and public transportation projects Policies: County and City procedures or policies used to guide decisions and identify implementation priorities Standards: Unified standards for trail construction and maintenance across all jurisdictions Financing: Sources of financing for all types of trail construction and maintenance Priorities: Procedures to establish annual and long-term priorities for maintenance of the trail system and construction of new trail sections Trail Construction Regulations Gallatin County and the Cities of Belgrade and Bozeman implement land use and subdivision reg-ulations that establish private development requirements. While each jurisdiction must imple- ment regulations in accordance with the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act (Title 76, Chapter 3, Montana Code Annotated), variations are permitted and do occur. Therefore, developing con-sistency between jurisdictions to ensure trail implementation is critical to establishing a compre-hensive trail network. Goal: Achieve consistency between municipal and County regulations for development of trails within the Triangle Area The regulations for constructing trails as a part of future subdivisions are contained within the following documents: • Gallatin County enacts trail development through Gallatin County Subdivision Regula-tions Section 6: Design and Improvement Standards, (Subdivision_Regulations) and the Transportation Design and Construction Standards Section 4.4 Pedestrian, Bicycle and Transit Facilities. (Transportation Design and Construction). These documents outline the requirements for trail development, dedication of easements, and design standards for trail construction. • The City of Bozeman enacts trail development through the Unified Development Code, Section 38.400.110 Transportation Pathways and Section 38.420.110 Recreation Path- ways 752 43Triangle Trails Plan Recommendations: • The City of Belgrade should consider adoption of regulations like Gallatin County Subdivision Regulations 6.E Pedestrian, Bicycle and Trail, and Transit Facilities. • Gallatin County, City of Bozeman, and City of Belgrade should consider adoption of Trail Design Standards and Specifications (Appendix D) to ensure uniformity between trail typologies across the entire Triangle Trails system and beyond. Goal: Ensure public access easements for proposed to future trails In some instances of minor subdivision or commercial subdivisions, development of trails may not be warranted with the development. In those instances, securing easements for future trail corridors should be sought. Recommendation: • Review subdivision and site development regulations to create consistent requirements for trail easements in cases where trail development is not required. Easements should be located to provide connectivity to the larger trail system and comply with applicable regulations. Policies Building the comprehensive trail network requires a variety of policies to ensure trail development continues within the Triangle Area. A review of existing policies should be completed to ensure coordination in the construction process. The following policies should be considered. Coordination: Continuous collaboration between jurisdictions and stakeholders will be required to ensure success of the Trail Plan. Several actions should be undertaken to facilitate this coordination. Goal: Ensure coordinated implementation of the Triangle Trails Plan Recommendations: • Add a staff position within Gallatin County to support the implementation of the plan. The staff would coordinate with developers and homeowners on parkland and trail development and maintenance plans, as well as provide support for grant applications. • Develop policies between Gallatin County, Cities of Belgrade and Bozeman to review proposed trail locations adjacent to jurisdictional boundaries and for Commuter and Connector trails that cross between jurisdictions. • Gallatin County should maintain a coordinated GIS trail data inventory. Include information from field assessments and construction for surface types, width, and other characteristics. • Consider providing Gallatin Valley Land Trust an opportunity to review and comment on proposed trail designs during the subdivision review process. Establish the roles and responsibilities through a Memorandum of Understanding. • Engage developers early and often to educate them about the Trail Plan’s trail classifications, trail connectivity needs, design standards, and maintenance requirements. Ensure the Triangle Trails Plan is provided when starting the development process with Gallatin County. • Coordinate the proposed trails in the Trails Plan with the Triangle Transportation Plan 753 44 and other relevant plans, such as the upcoming City of Bozeman Parks, Recreation, and Active Transportation plan (PRAT). Wayfinding: This plan highlights the important ways a coordinated wayfinding system benefits trail users, adjacent property owners, and the community as a whole. Development of a comprehensive wayfinding system should be completed so that wayfinding elements can be incorporated into the design for new trail construction and added to existing trail sections. Several actions should be undertaken to further develop the wayfinding element of the Trail Plan. Goal: Provide comprehensive wayfinding within the Triangle Trails system Recommendations: • Develop a comprehensive wayfinding plan. This should be based on wayfinding elements of the existing trail systems; standards developed by the local jurisdictions, Manual of Uniform and Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), the Gallatin Valley Land Trust, and other stakeholder entities. • Review options for subdivisions to incorporate standardized wayfinding as part of trail development. Trail-Related Improvements: Prioritize improvements to be included with trail development. Providing consistent improvements will create a predictable experience for users, as well as predictable costs for developers. Goal: Develop a list of prioritized amenities for inclusion in trail construction. Recommendations: • Using the list of amenities in the plan, identify priority elements for each trail typology. • Provide information to developers for sources of amenity products. Standards The standards recommended within Appendix D are sourced from local and national standards. As local standards are revised or updates, they should be reviewed with these standards to ensure consistency across jurisdictional lines. Goal: As appropriate, develop a single source for Trail Standards within the Triangle Area Recommendations: • Review existing standards for adequacy and consistency and pursue regulatory and policy updates as needed. Financial Investment Financing the trail network will be a long-term cooperative effort. There will need to be a variety of funding sources, and much of the trail development will depend upon the subdivision development within the Triangle Area. Goal: Identify consistent funding sources for each trail typology Commuter trails general align with major road corridors. As those roads are upgraded or constructed, trail design and construction should be included as part of the road improvement projects. Several actions should be undertaken to facilitate this work. 754 45Triangle Trails Plan Recommendations: • Review existing capital improvements plans and include trail costs as appropriate for scheduled road improvements. • On an annual basis, review and revise the capital budgets to support trail development. There are grants available to assist with trail construction. This type of funding is consistently competitive, and therefore not a reliable source of funding. In order to improve competitiveness, jurisdictions and stakeholders should coordinate funding requests and secure matching funds so as to provide stronger proposals. Recommendations: • Strategically prioritize grants applicable to trail construction. • Identify on a yearly basis applicable grants with trail needs. Grant Source• Purpose Description Surface Transportation Block Grant Pro-gram (STBGP) • Bicycle and pedestrian improvements The Surface Transportation Block Grant pro-gram (STBG) provides flexible funding that may be used by States and localities for pro-jects to preserve and improve the conditions and performance on any Federal-aid highway, bridge and tunnel projects on any public road, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and transit capital projects Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) • Bicycle and pedestrian improvements Funds can be used for construction, plan-ning and design of on and off-road bicycle and pedes trian facilities Rebuilding American Infrastructure and Sustainability and Equity (RAISE)• Transportation infrastructure Previously known as BUILD and TIGER dis-cretionary grants, these competition awards support the development of transportation infrastructure Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP)• Transportation infrastructure The program is designed to provide flexibility for a wide range of transportation projects to access high-use recreation site and economic generators Recreation Trails Program (RTP)• Trail construction The program funds construction of new trails, as well as acquisition of land or easements for the purpose of trail development Neighborhood trail construction will be completed as part of future residential subdivisions. These improvements will be completed by the developer as part of the required infrastructure improvements, as outlined in the applicable subdivision regulations. Priorities Because trail building will be largely dependent upon the development of future subdivisions and private road projects within the Triangle Area, determining future priority trails or connections is difficult. Instead, it will be more helpful to create criteria that can be used annually to determine priority projects. 755 46 Goal: Develop criteria to determine priority trail projects Recommendations: • Develop a methodology for determining projects to be included within a capital improvement plan, grant application, or other funding source • Criteria for determining priorities should include: • Ability to improve trail connectivity • Ability to connect to a large number of people • Ability to connect to a school or park • Ability to reduce or eliminate a significant safety issue • Significant stakeholder interest and funding opportunities Trail Maintenance Building and maintaining trails that are safe for users of all ages and abilities is a high priority. Individual jurisdictions will need to establish annual and long-term maintenance plans based on available funding sources. The plan’s suggested trail maintenance guidelines can help communities identify what activities to incorporate in their maintenance plans. Regulations There are two important elements of trail maintenance: establishing minimum standards for maintenance and establishing responsibility for that maintenance. Regulations adopted by each jurisdictions require a developer or homeowner association to assume responsibility for maintenance public or common improvements. The City of Bozeman is currently implementing the Parks and Trails District to maintain parks and trails within the city. The implementation of this plan should coordinate with that district to ensure consistency within and beyond the Triangle Area. Goal: Create consistent and predicable standards for trail maintenance Recommendations: • Review regulations assigning maintenance responsibility in areas outside of the Bozeman Parks Maintenance District. Policies Maintenance of trails with the Triangle Area is currently managed through a variety of resources, including homeowner associations, local jurisdictions and the Montana Department of Transportation. Standardizing responsibility of maintenance, as well as standards for maintenance will help ensure the financial investment of trail development is protected and enhanced in future years. According to the Rails to Trail Conservancy, annual maintenance costs on average range from $1,000 to $2,000 per trail mile, depending upon the surface. Goal: Create consistent policies for trail maintenance Recommendations: • Review standard maintenance practices and establish minimum standards across all jurisdictions. • Establish a template for maintenance of gravel fines trails. This template would be 756 47Triangle Trails Plan available to developers and homeowner associations to estimate costs and develop a schedule of tasks and inspections. Standards Standards for paved trails and gravel trails will differ in the approach to maintaining the surfaces. General maintenance standards for evaluating needs for repairs, maintaining clearance standards, and treatment for noxious weeds should be consistently applied to all trail types. Consistently removing snow from paved trails will significantly increase winter and shoulder season use. Goal: Establish consistent routine maintenance plans Routine maintenance of paved trails is important for safety and protection of the investment made in the trail network. Paved trails should be maintained to accommodate all users of the fa-cilities to a reasonable level of safety. Common maintenance concerns such as cracks or ridges in pavement, potholes and removal of debris should be addressed on a regular basis. Below is a list of routine maintenance activities for paved trails: • Routine sweeping to remove debris, gravel and other hazardous items • Regular snow removal during winter months • Inspect and repair pavement surface problems. Seal cracks, grind down ridges, cut back tree roots and repair pavement • Coordinate and schedule pavement overlays as part of adjacent road maintenance • Prune adjacent and overhanging vegetation to reduce encroachment or cause sight dis-tance problems • Repair or replace wayfinding, stop control signs and other elements • Restripe crosswalks and other markers Routine maintenance of gravel trails can be defined as maintenance that is needed to keep the trail operating in a safe and usable condition. Below is a list of routine maintenance activities for gravel trails: • Yearly trail evaluation to determine the need for minor repairs, identification of erosion damage, need for improved drainage • Removing encroaching vegetation from trail tread (grading, chemical treatment) • Treating noxious weeds along corridor • Mowing trail edges if applicable (keep vegetation height low along trail) • Clearing drainage features to ensure proper function • Removal of fallen trees, hazardous trees or dangerous limbs • Planting, pruning, and general landscaping • Flood or rain damage repair: silt clean up, culvert clean out, etc. • Trash removal/litter clean-up, routine 757 48 • Bridge/culvert inspection, clearing and repair • Map/signage post condition inspection, and vandalism repair • Assessing need for sign/map updates or replacement Periowdic maintenance activities: • Addition of surfacing material depending on condition (2-3 years) • Re-grading to improve cross-slope or out-slope for improved drainage • Improvement of transitions with sidewalks or streets, restripe crosswalks and other markers Financial Investment Funding of trail maintenance is often not identified when trails are constructed. The result is that maintenance is often deferred, leading to declined trail conditions and costly repairs. A critical component of any trail system is to identify responsibility and funding for maintenance. Similar to trail construction, maintenance responsibilities will differ with each trail typology. Goal: Identify and establish dedicated funding sources for trail maintenance Commuter Trails As with construction, the maintenance of commuter trails should be completed with the adjacent road maintenance. From a budget perspective, commuter trail infrastructure should be no differ-ent from other transportation infrastructure. These trails will be asphalt or concrete surface and should be included in annual road maintenance budgets. Connector TrailsConnector trails will play an important role to link places throughout the Triangle Area. These trails are mostly located off the street grid and outside of the neighborhood trails. Maintenance for these trails will need to be coordinated through different jurisdictions and neighborhoods. Potential funding for maintenance includes: • Future Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). Upon certification of the 2020 census, an MPO area will be designated around Bozeman. This purpose of the MPO is to coordi-nate transportation planning. For trails identified as part of the transportation network, the MPO may be the appropriate organization for coordinating maintenance. • Recreational Trails Program (RTP) Grants. This program is one of the few grant programs for trail maintenance. It is a program of the US Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and is administered at the state level. Funds are intend- ed for recreation trails and require a local match. • Montana Stewardship Grants. This program funds new trail construction as well as mainte- nance of existing trails and shared-use paths Neighborhood TrailsAs the City of Bozeman begins to maintain trail improvements through the Parks and Trails main-tenance district, neighborhoods outside of the city should ensure consistent financing for mainte- nance of their trail inventory. Currently, new subdivisions are required to maintain trails by the homeowner association. The association provides maintenance for common elements, including parks, trails and streets. Maintenance varies by subdivision and could be improved with prescrip-tive standards and required maintenance plans. 758 49Triangle Trails Plan Other options for maintenance of subdivision trails: • Rural Special Improvement District. Pursuant to 7-12-2102, MCA, the Board of County Commissioners may order and create RSIDs upon receipt of a petition to create an RSID that contains the consent of all the property owners to be included in the RSID. The pur-pose of the RSID is to assess property owners annually for the costs associated with the proposed maintenance. These districts require administration by the county to provide assessments, maintain expenses and ensure the work is completed. • Funding trail maintenance at a larger scale could be accomplished by a maintenance dis-trict approved by voters. Such a district simplifies the administration of maintenance, can provide coordinated efforts with adjoining jurisdictions, and ensures funding into the fu- ture. Because it must be voter approved, it is not guaranteed. Similar districts include the Bozeman Parks and Trails District, and the Big Sky Trails, Recreation and Parks District. Priorities Priorities for establishing maintenance include the following: • Establish standards and expectations for each trail typology • Create a maintenance plan template for use by developers and homeowner associations to develop annual costs • Identify areas of deferred maintenance as priority areas • Coordinate maintenance between jurisdictions • Consider long term funding sources for a maintenance program as the trail network ex-pands Trails for future generations 759 50 Appendix A: Useful Resources American Trailswww.americantrails.orgAmerican Trails is a national, nonprofit organization working on behalf of all trail interests to create and protect America’s network of interconnected trails.

Perhaps most importantly the draft growth policy sets the goal to: “Promote design standards and development patterns that connect multimodal facilities, trails, and pathways to recreational open space corridors, parks, community amenities, and other meaningful destinations.” The Triangle Trails Plan provides an opportunity to build off the proposed goals of the County Growth Policy and create a comprehensive vision of a safe, interconnected active transportation network of trails and shared-use paths. Bozeman Community Plan (2020) The 2020 Bozeman Community Plan serves as the City’s statutory growth policy. Several of the adopted goals and objectives related to trails and active transportation are highlighted below: • N-1.8 Install, replace, and maintain missing or damaged sidewalks, trails, and shared use paths. • N-1.10 Increase connectivity between parks and neighborhoods through continued trail and sidewalk development. Prioritize closing gaps within the network. • EPO-3.2 Ensure complete streets and identify long-term resources for the maintenance of year-round bike and multi-use paths to improve utilization and reduce annual per capita vehicle miles traveled. • M-1.4 Develop safe, connected, and complementary transportation networks for pedestrians, bicyclists, and users of other personal mobility devices (e-bikes, electric scooters, powered wheelchairs, etc.). • M-1.9 Prioritize and construct key bicycle infrastructure, to include wayfinding signage, connections, and enhancements with emphasis on completing network connectivity. • M-1.14 Identify possible routes for future bicycle and pedestrian beltway/greenway. 762 53Triangle Trails Plan Triangle Community Plan (2020) The Triangle Community Plan is the genesis of this trail plan and contains overarching guidance for a more comprehensive approach to trail planning, construction, and maintenance. One of the formal goals of the Triangle Community Plan is to “support and improve opportunities for trail development and active transportation infrastructure for a variety of uses and users, from avid cyclists to pedestrians, and from children to the elderly”. Other highlights include: • Walkable neighborhoods and trails to local parks or community core areas support the physical, social, and mental health of people in the communities where they live, learn, work and play. • Trail systems strive to provide maximum connectivity and serve different purposes and users. • Non-motorized transportation systems will be a priority and developed at three levels: neighborhood trails, connector trails, and commuter pathways. The policy statement to create this Triangle Trails Plan specifically emphasizes these priorities: • Connecting trails to meaningful destinations, such as parks, schools, residential areas, neighboring city centers, and other community hubs, which supports opportunities for walking, biking, and social interaction. • Improving connections at the ends of trails and connecting into commuter routes/pathways. • Connecting trails as developments are built and integrating smaller parcels into the trail system, as opportunities arise. • Designing and maintaining trails and pathways for winter use. Belgrade Parks and Recreation Master Plan (2020) The Belgrade Parks and Recreation Master Plan recognizes the importance of trails as community amenities that improve the quality of life for residents. The Master Plan references Headwaters Economics research that trails benefit not only residents, but also has value to businesses and property owners. Proposed trail developments include a City Loop shared-use path, linear parks, and a section of the Great American Rail Trail. The Master Plan also identifies wayfinding and public education about trail etiquette and safety as integral components of a successfully trail system. Bozeman Transportation Master Plan (2017) The Bozeman Transportation Master Plan emphasizes active transportation as a critical component of the overall transportation system place it on equal terms with vehicle and transit elements. It is important to note that the project area addressed by the Master Plan extends well beyond the Bozeman city limits and thus overlaps with a significant portion of the Triangle Trails Plan boundary. The Master Plan acknowledges that Bozeman has a long history of promoting and developing active transportation facilities yielding an inventory of 92 miles of natural surface trails and 23 miles of shared-use paths as of 2017. But the Master Plan identifies the opportunity to greatly expand the active transportation network with an additional 126 miles of natural trails and 102 miles of shared use paths. The Bozeman Transportation Master Plan also emphasized the need for better long- and short-term maintenance of the existing and future trail and path network. Long-term maintenance is very dependent on construction materials and methods which vary widely. The Master Plan recommends more frequent sweeping and snow removal to ensure safe, year-round use. 763 54 Gallatin County Parks and Trails Comprehensive Plan (2010) Although never formally adopted, the Gallatin County Parks and Trail Comprehensive Plan represents a foundational element of this Triangle Trails Plan. The Comprehensive Plan established goals and recommended policies to “support economic growth and development through the stimulation of tourism and the provision of quality-of-life amenities”. It recognizes that the planned development of parks and trails can help preserve agricultural land and natural resources in the Gallatin Valley by strategically locating facilities and access where most appropriate. The Comprehensive Plan included a National Park Service Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance report that concluded: “The Belgrade-to-Bozeman/triangle area trail network is a long-term project that will develop incrementally, as a constellation of projects that coalesce into a system over time. The overall vision should be established by the county, given the size of the area under consideration and the long-term nature of the task. Every mechanism available to improve bicycle-pedestrian facilities should be employed. Community trails enthusiasts can assist by advocating for the projects most important to them.” Bozeman PROST Plan (2007) The Bozeman PROST (Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Trails) Plan is 13 years old and scheduled to be update in 2021. Nonetheless, the PROST Plan provides insights about the importance of active transportation to the Bozeman community and beyond. For instance, the PROST included a robust public survey showing “trails are the most used recreational facility in the City”. The survey established that approximately 70 percent of the respondents selected walking and hiking as their primary recreational activity. Correspondingly, the PROST highlighted the most requested improvement the City’s Parks and Recreation facilities was to better maintain existing trails and expand the network of shared use paths. The PROST analyzed current usage and inventory to project future trail and path mileage: “The City should seek to provide a slightly higher level of service than is currently being provided with 1.5 miles of trail per 1,000 people. Based on this recommended service standard, and the City’s population projections, trails miles per 1,000 people will needed as follows: 2010 – 54 miles; 2015 – 64; 2020 – 104; and 2025 – 133.” Noting that trails and shared-use paths are uniquely popular with all age groups in the community, the PROST recommends that safe trail design, particularly at street intersections, and winter maintenance are paramount. Lastly, the PROST recognized the need to build and better connect the trail and path system to create longer routes for both recreation and transportation use. Four Corners Community Plan (2006) Even 15 years ago, the Four Corners Community Plan supported the development of a more robust and regionally integrated parks, trails, and open space system. Of note is the vision that a comprehensive transportation system should include bicycle and pedestrian facilities that are separated from the road network. 764 55Triangle Trails Plan Concurrent Planning ProcessesTwo important and related transportation planning processes coincided with the drafting and adoption of the Triangle Trails Plan. Just as it is critical that this plan recognize and complement the host of existing area planning documents referenced above, it is vital to coordinate with concurrent planning efforts. Greater Triangle Area Transportation Plan This transportation plan has been initiated by Gallatin County to guide transportation infrastructure investments within the ‘greater triangle area’ that includes Bozeman, Belgrade, Four Corners, and Gallatin Gateway. The plan will identify recommended improvements based on the transportation system needs and forecast development over the next 20 years. “The plan will integrate with the County’s ongoing Triangle Trail Plan for the Bozeman-Belgrade-Four Corners area and build from transportation plans completed for the Greater Bozeman Area and for the City of Bozeman and City of Belgrade. The Greater Triangle Area Transportation Plan will evaluate and address the transportation system needs of all travel modes.” The Greater Triangle Transportation Plan process began in October 2020 and is scheduled to be finalized in December 2021. The Great American Rail Trail Project This visionary Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC) project plans to connect a multiuse trail that stretches more than 3,700 miles between Washington, D.C. and the coast of Washington State traversing twelve states. Large portions of the proposed trail network are old railroads converted to public trails and to date over 2,000 miles of completed trails have been designated as part of the Great American Rail Trail. A group of stakeholders are actively coordinating with each other and the RTC Great American Rail Trail team to identify, design, and fund the construction of the missing sections though Gallatin County and beyond. The engaged stakeholders include local, state, and federal agencies and local active transportation organizations. The proposed trail runs through Gallatin County between Bozeman and Three Forks. The route includes: • Bridger Canyon to Belgrade (M Trail, Oak Street, North 19th, Valley Center) • Belgrade to Central Park (no existing trail or proposed route) • Central Park to Three Forks (proposed along Hwy 205/Frontage Road to join the Headwaters Trail System) 765 56 Appendix C: Summary of Community Engagement Below is a comprehensive summary of the public input received during the community engagement pro-cess. The comments below were captured during the focus group meetings and the virtual open house. Triangle Trail Vision • In 10 years, I hope to describe the trail network as being connected for all users. The measure of success will be seeing a vast variety of ages and abilities using the trail network year-round for a wide range of purposes such as recreating, commuting to work/school and/or running errands, socializing, etc. What still needs to be done is a unified effort across jurisdictions to recognize the need for following current best practices for design, construction, and maintenance as well as dedicating sustainable funding sources appropriated for the completion of a connected trail network (within our lifetimes). • Bike/walk trails that connect the existing Belgrade, Gallatin Gateway and Bozeman trails. I would also like to see an increase in community trails in the Four Corners area, creating access to the river as well as scenic pathways throughout neighborhoods, creating greater connection within the neighborhoods and to trails that connect communities. Ideally, I would like to see a robust trail system that decreases the reliance on vehicle transportation between and within these communities. • Trail system that appeals both to recreation and utility. I would like to have more safe access to run/bike commuting routes. I would love to have more varied trail and connecting options near my home. I would like to see the trails, like road, have both some main arteries that provide a safe transportation corridor as well as side trails that get closer to nature. • I hope to see a quality connected network of trails throughout the triangle. Trails will be well signed, and longer trails or loops will be branded/marketed in an appealing way. Smaller feeder trails will connect throughout the triangle to larger paved trails that enable bike commuting into and out of Bozeman from the more remote reaches of the triangle. Accessibility & Comfort Provide for most accessibility – taking into consideration all abilities and types of users • Consider different abilities and ages • Consider different activities (true single track and family neighborhood trails) – possible parallel trails with different uses. • Consider access / poverty and diversity • Consider winter use – connect to maintained x-country ski trails • If paved, can you have a parallel trail of natural surface for walking/horseback? • Consider future transit and park & ride. • ADA toilet / porta potty • Shelter and resting areas • BIPOC community • POC (i.e., MT Racial Equity Project) and Indigenous groups (i.e.: Indian People’s Network) and center their recommendations in your plans. • Best trails are at least 10 feet wide, are away from roads, use natural landscaping, and consider all types of users in their design. Often there are parallel trails -- one for those on foot and one for those on wheels. 766 57Triangle Trails Plan • Plan ahead for electric bike and small pods used for transportation – make sure separated and wide enough • Ability to connect with nature / natural surroundings Amenities • Benches • Shelter • Water • Restrooms • Garbage and recycling • Wayfinding and interpretative signage • Especially adjacent to community gardens and food forests Design Standards • Create standards that work to reduce user conflicts on the trail. • Different types of trails will provide for different types of uses – walking the dog vs. commuting vs. exercise. • Create standards for trail development and adopt these to ensure connectivity and consistency – same or very close Bozeman, Belgrade and County. • The County transportation standards adopted earlier this year address trails but having a trails plan adopted that shows specific routes and level of development for trails will be another good tool. • Complete streets resolution, but no regulatory teeth – follow complete streets guidelines Trail System Structure Like the tiered approach of neighborhood, connector and commuter trails that are integrated • There is understanding and support that neighborhood trails (local) would have different standards and maintenance than commuter trails • Complete the perimeter (arterials)– separated, paved, maintained pathway along Jackrabbit, Frontage and Huffine. • Create other “spines” (collectors) – that are more enjoyable to travel on, less busy and noisy and can connect different destinations and neighborhoods. • Use transit for major distances and then bike last mile • Need a true transportation network not just trails • Connect to future great American trail (rails to trails) • Network on ½ to ¼ mile grid Broad support for requiring developments to install and connect trail systems at the time of development (concurrency) just like all infrastructure. Need to ensure this is enforced / compliance. • Trails should be embedded in plans, policies, and new developments. Top Rated Trail Connections: • Connection to communities • Connection between neighborhoods, commercial areas, and schools 767 58 • Connections between neighborhoods and public open space (interconnected greenways) • Connect the segments of trails that exist (Costco area and in Triangle) • Connecting trails to commercial areas is an economic boost Development Funding Funding the development of trails – this topic had a variety of ideas from RID to grants to partnerships. 1% for trails, gas tax, federal funds, philanthropy – a variety is important. There were some comments about tax fatigue and the high cost of housing and being sensitive to adding more burden to residents. Take away was use a variety of mechanisms. Funding proportionality is fair. Use public-private partnerships. • Realtors not supportive of new tax • State funds – emphasize front country and daily exercise needs • MT Trail Stewardship • LWCF • Opportunity to pair transit and trails – grants like Smart Growth America • Create district before the land is developed – funding source • How do we pay for roads? – Just add 5 or 10% and cover the trail transportation network. • Double positive of a gas tax of $0.02 – Missoula County example Open House: existing budgets, grants, local option tax, developer pays for development and existing budgets for maintenance Maintenance Funding Funding for maintenance was also important and it was suggested several times to have this in a separate fund from development. A variety of ideas were recommended – RID, using existing transportation maintenance funds, partnerships public-private, adopt a trail (businesses), similar approach to “I Plow Hyalite” initiative. • Pool funding and hire private contractor for winter and summer maintenance. • Use $$ in the county mil for maintenance – at least part of it. • Partner with Streamline on trash and snow removal • Snow removal is an issue for safe routes to school – should not be responsibility of school • Asphalt/concrete – higher capital expense up front, but lower overall maintenance cost. We need an asphalt management approach because these facilities would have a longer life with the right maintenance program. • Clear about who is responsible for maintenance Wayfinding People like the existing wayfinding that is used for GVLT’s Main Street to the Mountains – keep this consistent theme and unify the trail systems in Bozeman, Belgrade and the Triangle this can be a unifying element. 768 59Triangle Trails Plan • How far to? Am I on the right path? • Is the path going to change (paved now but will turn to hard pack soil in 2 miles) • Investigate an app for the trails system • Use wayfinding to share the appropriate uses on that system and how far to popular destinations • Trail etiquette • Clear communication on allowed uses – better information and education • Integrate trails and transit wayfinding on app Destinations & Routes Destinations that were identified: • Schools – new high school, to be built schools (Bozeman is delaying development of the next elementary school, but it should be considered in this plan (west of Gooch Hill Road, south end of Woodland Park development to Elk Lane and west to 191), Cottonwood/Stucky another location, Monforton also looking for properties to expand.) • Community Centers – YMCA • Sports field complex • Work – major employers • Water – Gallatin River Access points or views, Hyalite, other waterways – use terrace / floodplains • Water – canals – Farmers Canal • Commercial nodes (market) • Food and beverage – commercial nodes • Along Blackwood • Connecting Belgrade, Bozeman, Four Corner – perimeter • Focus on connecting existing trails that have gaps • Think about connections beyond Triangle (Rails to Trails) • Can we look for opportunities with MSU ag land? • Gooch Hill area is isolated – needs connections -along Stucky • Fowler – Hyalite • Oak Street, Durston Street, Love Lane • Davis Lane • More Parks between Baxter and Huffine off Durston and Love Lane. County gravel pit in future park? • Four corners to Hot Springs (old RR grade) • Existing trail systems leading to parks and recreational areas and then connecting with trails that generally parallel county roads...Most of the trail system was wide enough to accommodate small groups walking and much of it is paved especially near the parks • Extend Valley Center to Bozeman / to Catamount St. • Quail Run to Monforton School • Separated paths along Fowler, Huffine, and College St. • Heart of Valley dog park • Harper Pucket • Future Destination Park in Triangle? 769 60 • Quiet recreation opportunities – bike to hike. • Bikers – mountain biking and Through bikers • New Billings Clinic • East of 19th and Blackwood – dense development in next 5 years • Airport to Belgrade • Park and ride opportunities / streamline integration • Belgrade area – Thorpe and Amsterdam to Jackrabbit – Gallatin Heights connection • Erwin Bridge Fishing Access • Old railways • Main connector and arterial streets such as Alaska, Oak, Davis, Harper Pucket, Hidden Valley, Love Lane, Durston, Baxter, etc. • Connector trail between the Cimmeron neighborhood and Sundance Trail • Path along 191 to Rainbow School • Connect Elk Grove along Violet Rd • NorthStar subdivision to Monforton School • Trail that dead ends behind Christ the King church, suggest continuing south to Durston to pick up the Fowler trail or Valley West trails. • Forest Park connection • Paved trail through Meadowlark Ranch subdivision. • Cameron Bridge • Pedestrian bridge from Thorpe across I-90, the railroad tracks, and Frontage over to the northwest side of Belgrade • Kagy (beginning at 11th) and going West. Also, on Stucky from 19th W to Cottonwood. Then on Cottonwood to Huffine. • Frank Rd • CJMS to Gallatin High • Durston to Hulbert Safety Issues • Separation away from traffic • Watch busy trucking areas (i.e., gravel pits) • Baxter is scary • Lighting • Visual awareness and space • Welcoming – multi-language wayfinding – all races. • Indigenous land recognition • Safety station? Do you need a friend? – Community care. • Focus on unity and inclusion in design and wayfinding • How do we get across Jackrabbit & Huffine? • Need adopted safety standards • Alaska Road is dangerous • Consider sight line • Some county roads in desperate need of upgrades (for ag and safety) • Need to right size the crossing facility related to motor vehicle infrastructure. Paved separated 770 61Triangle Trails Plan facilities along arterials, appropriately engineered crossings, designing roads for the speeds we want to see to enhance crossing safety, safe interactions between all users. • Snow removal is an issue for safe routes to school • Wider shoulders – avoid steep drop offs • Consider speeds of e-bikes and where they can safely travel • Tunnels and overpasses like Three Forks • Pedestrian lead times and/or pedestrian scrambles at signalized intersections • Reduced car speeds • Gallatin heights and other underpasses for Jackrabbit • Fowler and Huffine intersection is not safe • Crossing over I 90 Irrigation Ditch Concerns • NOT in ditch right of way for maintenance (possible in open space adjacent to right of way) • Ditch easements are not public right of ways • Public access has negative impacts on ditches (yard clippings, dog waste, liability) • Maintaining access to and ease of ditch maintenance, e.g., planting of trees and shrubs, placement of trails • Impacts to or destruction of trails during canal maintenance • Liability insurance - requirements, increased costs • General increased time and management costs to ditches • Signage, EDUCATION, and enforcement - who will be responsible for that? • Impacts to water quality (trash, dog waste, etc.) • Users should pay for access, perhaps via an entity like the city or GVLT - if it’s a desirable amenity, then there should be funding for insurance, maintenance, cleaning, signage, education, enforcement and this responsibility should NOT fall on the ditches. • Big picture, if this is something people want and will pay for, there should be a “ditch trail” manager who is responsible for these things. Build it and then figure out how to manage use/impacts after the fact is not an acceptable approach. • Many of the waterways within the Triangle area are, in fact, irrigation ditches with existing easements on private land for the ditch companies to conduct maintenance and improvements. Ditch companies have huge concerns with people, kids, and dogs along their ditches due to the liability as well as people not respecting the water and its use to those who use it for a livelihood. • Undersized Culverts • I like the idea of the trail being 50’ off the ditch bank and creating corridors. I have no problem with someone planting trees if they have water rights. I think they help protect the ditch bank. Grass growing and encroaching the ditch banks making the ditches smaller I think is a bigger issue. • Not near farming operations – better along roads. • Ensure development will continue the use of the ditch and maintenance - Planning of the subdivision and how it is accommodating the ditch is really important and has long lasting impacts beyond the developer and the future landowners – the ditch may continue on into the future to serve water rights or as irrigation for that subdivision. • Better choice may use the ditch as part of the park land, but you need to ensure that maintenance could still happen – you cannot deny access due to state law – it is a prescriptive easement secured by adverse possession – the ditch is there and that is the easement – period according to state law. There is a secondary easement for maintenance that is in state law that 771 62 allows for access by only the people doing the maintenance. • Legally the easement is not for trails, so it is not legal, and the ditch company does NOT own the land under that easement General Challenges • Roundabouts – how to incorporate bikes and pedestrian crossings SAFETY • Commercial developments are not required to put in trails causing a break • Crossing and curb cuts – need safety striping or lights depending on how busy. • Need a system that can bridge the gaps between developments – temporary easements and buy backs? • Need dedicated funds for maintenance. • Protect Landowners and ditch companies from liability. • Working with MDT regarding easement when they widen roads. • Work with MDT for establishing separated shared use path when possible. • Trash and gravel make trails unappealing – need clean up. • Can trails offer wildlife corridor connections? • Concern about sensitive wildlife areas (wetlands, riparian). • Limit crossings to reduce impact on traffic flow • Snowplows cover pathways • Rivers and streams move over time and are sensitive areas – need a buffer and careful planning • Lack of Connectivity is a barrier • Unsafe crossings • Lack of maintenance • Wayfinding – confusing, not enough • Not maintained – gravel, debris, garbage • Safety – lack of lighting • Roadways difficult to cross • Not enough separation between cars and trails • Link trails and bike lanes • Bike lanes commuter routes, such as Baxter, Oak, and Love. • E-bike speeds Focus Group Participants AgricultureTreimstraMike GafkeCircle 4 Bob & Barb MarxSpanish Peaks Sand and Gravel Sue Duncan/AGAI Nonprofit / AdvocacyMatt Parsons, Gallatin Valley Land Trust Catherine Schmidt, Trust for Public LandsPatrick Rooney, SW Montana Bike Association 772 63Triangle Trails Plan Betty Strook, Gallatin Alliance for PathwaysKevin Belanger, Rails to TrailsGary Hellenga, Big Sky Wind DrinkersLizAnn Kudrna, Bike-Walk Montana, walk audits Randy Carpenter, Future West, Manhattan, and Three Forks Planning Ralph Zimmer, Pedestrian Traffic Safety CommitteeMarilee Brown, Pedestrian Traffic Safety Committee Community OrganizationsChristopher Coburn, Bozeman Health, 5210+ CoalitionLilly Deford, Gallatin Watershed CouncilAli Vasarella, Belgrade Community Coalition Cheryl Bartholomew, Bozeman Age Friendly Community Chair Community MembersAndrew WilliamsonJonathon Stewart Alyssa RossMarianne Amsden Real Estate / Developers Kevin CookKarl CookTom StarnerRob LateinerDon Cape Jr Ellen Beck TransportationDani Hess, City of Bozeman Levi Ewan, Gallatin CountySheila Ludlow, MT Dept.

The classifications are a combination of the City of Bozeman PROST Plan and draft Gallatin County Trails Report and Plan. Trail Classification and Design Standards Trails consist of a central walkable/ridable surface, known as a tread. Trails have a shoulder located on each side. The tread plus the shoulder is known as the clear width. The height above the trail with no obstacles like tree branches is known as the clear height. Trails are classified based on the amount of traffic and type of use. As uses or intensity change, a trail may be upgraded in classification. Class I Trail Design Standards These paved commuter pathways connect larger community nodes trails. They are heavily used with full access and are designed use along major transportation corridors. These trails are designed to permit two-way traffic using an impervious surface material such as asphalt or concrete. Width and Clearance • 12 feet wide • Width can be decreased to 10 feet in interior subdivision settings. • 1’ gravel shoulder, 2’ minimum shoulder graded away from trail (2% max. slope) • A minimum vertical clearance of 10’ should be provided. Branches that could restrict the trail when weighted with snow or rain should also be removed. Grade • The maximum trail cross slope shall be 2%, sloping one direction, not crowned. The cross slopes on corners and curves shall be towards the inside where drainage permits. • The maximum trail cross slope should be 5%, the cross slopes on corners and curves shall be towards the inside where drainage permits. If there is a segment that has a cross slope of more than 5%, the segment should be as short as possible. • Maximum grade segments: • 8.3% for a maximum of 15.24m (50ft) • 10% for a maximum of 9.14m (30ft) • 12.5% for a maximum of 3.05m (10ft) • Near the top and bottom of the maximum grade segments, the grade should transition to less than 5%. Rest intervals should be provided within 7.6m (25ft) of the max grade segment. • There can be no abrupt change in surface level greater than ½ inch. Cross Section • Concrete - The trail base shall consist of a minimum of 3 inches of crushed gravel compacted to 95 percent of maximum density as determined by AASHTO T99. Concrete shall be a minimum of 6 inches of M4000 • Asphalt -Excavate 11.5 inches of material. Install a minimum of 9 inches of crushed gravel compacted to 95 percent of maximum density as determined by AASHTO T99, unless otherwise 775 66 dictated by sub-soil type materials being compacted to road standard. The overlay shall consist of 2.5 inches of asphalt compacted to 93 percent of maximum density, as determined by ASTMD 2041. Construction seal shall be applied at 0.08 gallon/square yard after installation. Material • To decrease long term maintenance, tread surface must predominately be impervious material such as asphalt, concrete, pavers set on concrete, or wood decking • Porous surfaces (permeable pavers, porous asphalt, porous rubber) should be a priority in sensitive areas. • The tread material including any base course will have a total minimum thickness of six inches. • Wood deck planks must be run perpendicular to the direction of travel and joints must not exceed 36 inches. Planks must be securely fastened so they do not warp. Class II Trails These trails receive moderate use intended for multiple non-motorized, recreational and commuter users. These trails connect meaningful destinations, such as neighborhoods, schools, and hubs of commercial activity. Class II trails are constructed of natural fines and are 6 feet in width. Width and Clearance • Single surfaced tread with a minimum width of five or six feet. • Tread width may be reduced to 36 inches for a maximum distance of 30 feet to pass or preserve significant features such as rock formations, important vegetation, etc. • The minimum cleared zone will be tread width plus 2 feet to either side of the tread and 10 feet vertical. In no instance may the overhead clear height be less than 8 feet. Grade • A cross-slope of no less than 2 percent and no more than 5 percent to provide for water drainage is allowed. • Maximum sustained running grade is 5%. A 10% maximum grade is allowed for a maximum distance of 30 feet. • Tread will be raised above adjacent surfaces and have a 1-to-2-inch crown. Where this requirement is not possible, the tread will have a 1 to 20 cross slope and/or side ditches outside the cleared zone. • Stream crossings will be over culverts or bridges. • Only dips or slot-entrance drainpipe will be used for cross tread water stops. Surface MaterialClass II trails or portions of trails designed for ADA access will be surfaced with a minimum of wood decking, natural fines, or with a well maintained compacted crushed gravel meeting specifications in the figure below. 776 67Triangle Trails Plan Percentage by Weight Passing Square Mesh Sieves • A gravel or particulate tread surface will be a minimum of six inches thick. • Wood chips are not an acceptable tread material for Class II trails. • Geo-textile material will be placed beneath the tread material in poorly drained, boggy or marshy areas, or wet meadows and on any of the following soil types: clays, clayey loams, silts, silty loams, or less. Geo-textiles for all Classes of Trails:a. The preferred geo-textile is a continuous filament non-woven needle-punched engineering geo-fabric.b. An acceptable geo-textile is a woven engineering geo-fabric.c. Minimum geo-textile requirements: Cross Section • The trail bed must be excavated 6 inches deep, prior to installation of tread mix. • Tread mix shall be installed in two parts. The first 3-inch lift shall be of ¾ inch Road mix, compacted to 95%, and then 3/8th inch minus gravel (natural fines) compacted to 95%. • (If moisture content is not adequate for compaction, water should be added prior to rolling and compacting). • Natural fines used for these trails shall consist of 80 percent sand, 10 percent silt and 10 percent clay. • If the natural fines tread mix does not contain enough clay or soil binder, additional binder must be mixed in. • Geo-textile material will be placed beneath and gravel or particulate tread material in poorly Passing Crushed Top Surface Crushed Base Course Pit Run Gravel Base Course 3 inch sieve 2 inch sieve 100% 1 inch sieve 100% 1/2 inch sieve 3/8 inch sieve 100% No. 4 sieve 50–80%25–60%No. 10 sieve 35–70% No. 200 sieve 8–15%6–12%10–15% Property Non-woven Woven Mass per unit area (ASTM D-3776)4 oz/sqyd N/A Thickness (ASTM D-1777)60 mils N/A Flow Rate (ASTM D-449)100 gpm/sqft 40 gpm/sqft Puncture Resistance (ASTM D-3787)50 lbs 70 lbs Trapezoid Tear Strength (ASTM D-4533)40 lbs 45 lbs Grab Tensile Elongation (ASTM D-4632)100 lbs @ 60% 140 lbs @ 15% 777 68 drained, boggy or marshy areas, or wet meadows and on any of the following soil types: clays, clayey loams, silts, silty. The preferred material is non-woven needle-punched engineering geo-fabric, but woven is acceptable. Fabric should be selected for use and durability. Width and Clearance • Single surfaced or unsurfaced tread, five-foot minimum width. Tread width may be reduced to 32 inches for a maximum distance of 30 feet to pass or preserve significant features such as rock formations, important vegetation, etc. • The minimum cleared zone will be tread width plus one foot horizontal, and ten feet vertical. Grade • Grades will be 15% or less. Class II trails or portions of trails designed for ADA access will have a maximum sustained running grade of 8% and a 14% maximum grade is allowed when resting intervals are provided every (5 ft), and the maximum cross slope is 5 percent. • Tread will be raised above the adjacent surfaces and have a 4 inch crown. Where this requirement is not possible the tread will have a 1:20 cross slope and/or side ditches outside the cleared zone. • Changes in level: • Should not exceed 51mm (2 in) • May be up to a maximum of 76mm (3 in) in areas where 51mm cannot be attained and the slope of the trail is less than 5% in any direction. • Obstacles over 51mm (2 in) in height should be removed • Stream crossings will be over culverts or bridges. • Only dips, slot-entrance drainpipe, or rubber belting will be used for cross-tread water stops. Class III Trails Class III trails are narrower neighborhood soft surface trails that connect locally to parks and open space These trails receive moderate to low use and are typically 3-5 feet in width. They are either natural trails developed by use over time or constructed with natural fines. ADA accessibility may be limited as trails typically follow the natural contours. Material • Preparation varies from machine-worked surfaces to those worn only by usage • No surfacing is required except in erosion prone poorly drained, boggy or marshy areas, or wet meadows. • Wood chip tread materials are acceptable when traffic is limited to pedestrian traffic in sensitive locations such as in wetland nature education areas. Cross Section • No trail bed excavation is required. Width & Clearance • Tread width minimum is three feet. • The minimum clear zone will be the tread width horizontally and seven feet vertically. Grade • Provide positive drainage for the tread. • Grades typically follow the natural topography • ADA access is extremely limited • Utilize grade dips, cross sloping, and water bars to minimize erosion. 778 69Triangle Trails Plan • Blending the trail into the setting is emphasized in trail routing. • Applicable to all Trail Classifications • Adequate visibility for safety. • The minimum acceptable trail easement width is 25 feet. • Trail entrances will be signed describing the degree of ADA access. • All above items may be modified to meet current ADA specifications. • A minimum of 5-foot separation between edge of path to top of slope that is greater than 1V:3H, if not met, a railing must be implemented. DrainageCulvert • Drainage shall pass under the trail by culvert or chase drain designed for 25-year storm event with no surcharging. • The minimum culvert diameter should be 15” and a flared end section is required. • Culverts should run perpendicular to the trail, sloping drain downslope with a slope of 2-5%. • Culvert should extend 12” beyond edge of trail (up-slope) and 4” into sump. Where no sump is included, culvert should extend 12” beyond trail down- slope. • A minimum of 6” cover should be above the culvert. Ditches • Appropriate crossing treatment for all trails that need to cross ditches. • Need for a no-rise floodplain analysis on jurisdictional waterways. • Shall have a flat bottom of 8” in width and be dug to a minimum depth of 12” within 2’ of the trail tread. • Drainage ditch slope shall be greater than 2% with increasing depth to a point where natural grade allows for discharge. • Where drainage ditches slope at greater than 1’ vertically in 12’ for more than 30’, provide a 6”x6” timber check-dam, across the bottom of the ditch embedded 12” into each side 10’ spacing. • Rock spillways shall be provided with the width or diameter of the drainage structure and 3x that dimension down-slope. Spillway shall drain a minimum 2% slope or conform to the existing slope. Bridges • Bridges should be as wide as the path with an additional (2 ft) buffer on either side. • The height of the bridge is measured from the bridge deck to the bottom of the stream or river. If the deck is more than 30 inches high a protective rail is required. • Rails are to be 42 inches high, with at least one mid rail at 34inches, to be used as a handrail. A protective barrier must be installed along the length of the rail system with either solid paneling or vertical bars. • Spacing between bars shall be no greater than 9 inches or less than 3.5 inches. • If the bridge does not require a rail it must have a 3-inch-high curb on both sides along the entire length of the bridge. • The deck should be constructed of slip-resistant material. • The deck of the bridge shall not exceed a12:1 slope along any part of its length. • The deck and ends of the bridge must have no abrupt change in surface level greater than ½ inch.

Bridges must be rated for weight load distribution in • All bridges to be installed on public lands must be certified by a licensed civil or structural 779 70 engineer Waterway Setbacks and Vegetative Buffers • Riparian buffers are strips of vegetation along the banks of creeks and streams. They can serve many purposes including: • Protecting stream/creek bank integrity • Providing pollutant removal for runoff and interflow • Supporting necessary wildlife habitat • The proposed setback for streams, ditches, and waterways shall be at least 30-feet as measured from the high-water mark or top of bank, when the high water mark is not distinguishable. • The trail must be designed to limit or discourage foot traffic into the setback. Intersections • Curb cuts shall be provided at all street / trail connections. • Trail widths should be increased at intersections. Signage must be added and in accordance with MUTCD. Right of way must be determined and signed appropriately. • Visible crosswalks across the intersection must be included. Signalized Intersections • Intersections shall be designated with signs in accordance with MUTCD. • Where crossing distances exceed 60ft, a crossing island should be considered. Crossing island width should be 6ft or greater. Truncated domes are required in ramps. • Marked crosswalks shall meet MUTCD standards. Un-Signalized Intersections • All trail crossings shall intersect at a minimum of 60 degrees, preferably 90 degrees. • Intersections shall be designated with signs in accordance with MUTCD. • Special emphasis on crosswalk markings should be used to increase visibility. Crosswalks should be straight and in line with the trail. In street crosswalk signs must be installed at uncontrolled pedestrian crossings, most effective in two-lane, low-speed streets. • RFBs can be used to increase yielding rates at uncontrolled or mid-block crossings. • Curb ramps and detectable warnings should be used to ensure users with vision impairments are aware of the street. • Line of sight should be unobstructed from both a seated and standing position.

The city includes a vibrant historic downtown, is home to Montana State University, and serves as a gateway to the wonders of Yellowstone National Park and other natural areas. In addition, the city boasts its own recreational elements, programs, facilities, parks and trails, all of which contribute to the vision embodied by the City’s slogan: “The Most Livable Place”. In fact, its high quality of life, vibrant cultural elements, access to nature, and recreational opportunities attract new residents at a rate that is putting Bozeman on the trajectory of becoming Montana’s third largest city by 2025. A Unique Natural Setting Bozeman is situated within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, which is the largest intact ecosystem in the continental United States. It is at the foothills of many environmentally sensitive areas, with the Bridger Mountains to the northeast and Gallatin National Forest to the south. Primary rivers in the Bozeman area include the Gallatin, Madison, Missouri, Yellowstone and Jefferson. A 90 mile drive southeast of the city center takes one to Yellowstone National Park. Established in 1872 as the country’s frst national park, Yellowstone attracts an average of 4 million visitors annually, many of which use Bozeman as their home base to access the Park. The Park serves as an important sanctuary for the largest concentration of wildlife in the lower 48 states, which includes elk, bison, grizzly bears, and nearly 300 bird species. Directly south of city limits is the 1.8-million acre Gallatin National Forest which is home to federally listed threatened species: the grizzly bear and the Canada Lynx. Bozeman’s location near these ecological sanctuaries cements the importance of local efforts to co-exist with nature. Bozeman is one of the fastest growing cities of its size in the nation. Bozeman is at a unique hydrological setting: the city is situated at the headwaters of the drainage of the Missouri River Basin. Numerous rivers, streams and irrigation canals transverse Bozeman, mostly in a north-south direction. These rivers, creeks and streams host different habitats, scenic views, and a diverse population. Due to their excellent recreational value, these water bodies have greatly infuenced the location of parks, open spaces, and trails. A Fast-Growing Micropolitan City Bozeman is one of the fastest growing cities of its size in the nation: the population has grown by 43% in the past decade. Cities that are experiencing similar trends or challenges as Bozeman, known as “peer cities” include Fort Collins, Missoula, and Helena. In contrast, these cities have grown by 20% or less in the past decade, with the exception of Bend, OR which has grown by 29%. Bozeman and the greater Bozeman area are projected to keep growing at an annual rate of about 3% to reach more than 200,000 people by 2040. According to the 2019 City of Bozeman Community Housing Needs Assessment, as of 2017 27% of owner households were single-occupant, compared to 37% of renters households. A majority (41%) of owned households were 2-persons. There is also a high percentage of roommate occupancy, contribution to a large percentage of over 3-persons households (33% for owners and 29% for renters). Bozeman’s population is young compared to the rest of the state, with the city’s median age at 27.4 years old, compared to 40.1 years old statewide. Given its 7 789 Figure 1.1 Rec Mobile Program younger population, and the presence of Montana State University, most of the population is single with 64% of residents fling as such, almost twice as much as the state’s average. The city is not as diverse as its peer cities used for comparison in this plan, with 92.1% of the population identifying as white. During and following the Covid-19 pandemic, many people relocated to Bozeman from urban areas across the country in search of more space, access to recreation and proximity to nature, making Bozeman an ideal place. While growth is bringing opportunities for investment, its rapid pace puts pressure on the natural system and recreation areas. The timing of this update highlights the need for a proactive planning approach to maintain Bozeman’s high access and use of park spaces and recreation services. History of the Park System In May of 1883, the same year Bozeman became an offcial town, the City added a street grid of 52 blocks south and west of city limits. Investors set aside two blocks as a public park. The park was named Cooper Park, after one of the investors, and was a popular spot for picnics in the summer. Other early parks include Southside Park, Lindley Park and Bogert Park, which were added to the park system in the 1920’s. The land of what is now Bogert Park (originally Bogert Grove Park) was originally purchased by the City as a tourist park following its past use as a favorite overnight camping location during community events like the Bozeman Roundup. Following the purchase, the park quickly became a popular spot for locals to picnic and host Boy Scout gatherings. Recreation programs began the same decade when Eva Pack became the City’s frst playground supervisor at Beall Park in 1929. She worked at the park during the summer months and served as Athletic Director for Montana State College during the school year. Early recreational programs at Beall park included playgrounds, tennis, picnic grounds, a bandstand for music in the summer and an ice skating rink in the winter. In the 1950’s, the City planned for a park and recreation department 8 790 9 with a professional recreation director and a park maintenance crew. The 1958 City Plan listed a variety of seasonal activities, including swimming, baseball, and special activities during summer months, and ice skating, sledding, and dancing in the winter. In the 1960’s, community service groups and the City Recreation Board began promoting the idea of a new indoor-outdoor swimming pool. Support for the idea was plentiful but costs escalated, inhibiting the proposal until a bond passed in 1974. The Bozeman Swim Center opened to the public in 1975. The center closed temporarily in May 2022 to make necessary repairs to the building’s structure. These repairs wrapped up at the end of 2022. As of 2022, the city’s system includes over 1,000 acres of parkland and 79 miles of natural trails. Residents have the option to participate in a vast variety of seasonal recreational programming, including art classes, nature-based activities, athletic offerings, ice skating, sledding, volleyball, and various indoor classes. PRAT Terminology Open space - Privately owned and maintained land; generally free from signifcant structural improvements, typically with public access easements, and seen as protecting or restoring areas of high natural resource beneft. Private land/HOA equivalent of “natural areas” is called “open space.” Parks - City-owned and/or managed land; categorized into six park types – Pocket Park, Neighborhood Park, Community Park, Special Use Park, Natural Area Park, and Linear Park. (see pages 46, 47, 54 and 55 for more information). Figure 1.2 Bird’s eye view of the city of Bozeman, Gallatin County with approximate boundary of its historic core. Figure 1.3 Cooper Park, the City’s frst public park. Natural Area Park - One of Bozeman’s six park types; primarily focused on natural resource conservation and passive recreation without signifcant structures. Natural areas within parks - City-owned land that has high natural resource value, such as native plants, forested areas, wetlands, riparian corridors, ponds, etc.; may be present in any park type; free from signifcant human-made improvements. Park system equivalent of “open space” is called “natural areas within any park type.” 791 Valley Center Ln Baxter Ln Oak St Durston Huffine Ln Planning AreaFrom PROST to PRAT Bozeman, like many other peer cities, is grappling with fast population growth, a changing climate with warmer winters and drier summers, and a higher risk of environmental disasters. The City aims to assess and plans to address these issues while recognizing the importance of racial equity, inclusion and environmental sustainability within its parks, trails, and recreation centers and programs. This document is part of its mission to continue its high standard for quality of life through a safe, welcoming and connected parks and trails system. The City’s most current plan is the 2007 Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Trails (“PROST”) Plan which has guided the creation of numerous trails and has helped elevate the role of parks, recreation programs, and facilities in maintaining the City’s quality of life. However, as Bozeman’s population continues to grow and diversify, the City’s parks and recreational facilities will face more pressure from increased usage. The City and its residents want to ensure that it maintains the quality elements, natural resources, and recreational opportunities that continue to draw people in. Bozeman’s parks, open spaces (privately owned)/natural areas in parks (City-owned), and trails are important in realizing this vision. Open space has come to mean privately owned land with high natural resource beneft (see also PRAT terminology on pg. 9). In the context of City parks and recreation, open spaces are particularly important for certain trail connections and passive recreational use. However, since privately owned open spaces are not under City management, this plan focuses Trails Streams Roads Lakes & Reservoirs Railroad Parks City Boundary Privately-owned Open Space Growth Boundary Future Parks Valley Center Ln Baxter Ln Oak St Durston Huffine Ln 10 792 11 I-9I-900 ee ee Ave vverell Av A Aver Ave ee Aehwh Av Av Av Aveewtthhddoo99trtrousousFF117733RRDowntown MMaaiinn St St Bozeman II-9-900 MSU KaKaggyy B Bllvdvd Rd Rd dd oooo Ln Ln nwnwee e ee SSoereeroltl Av Avououttwwhh Avt Av Av Avrrtthoohddddoo99ttrrCCFF117733ouougghh Rd Rd Growth Boundary N 0 0.5 1 mile Figure 1.4 The planning area and its context 793 12 Figure 1.6 Main Street and Downtown Bozeman on City parks and its “natural areas” equivalent. Signifcant public comment indicates the desire for more natural areas to be added to the City park system. One outcome of the PRAT plan is to amend the UDC to make it easier to allow natural areas into the park system (with design constraints to mitigate human impact) rather than open space under private ownership and management. This plan also brings an active transportation emphasis into the world of parks, recreation, and open space, including the full network of trails from gravel paths to on-street bicycle facilities. This shift recognizes the community’s shifting values around transportation and recreation, and the need to create greater connectivity between park assets and places across the city. In 2012, voters approved a $15 million Trails, Open Space and Parks (TOP) bond program which has so far increased parkland by 145 acres and added 3 miles of trails. Additionally, in 2020, at the outset of the COVID pandemic, residents voted overwhelmingly in favor of the Parks and Trails District to address park and trails maintenance in the City. This document frst aims to understand and inventory the existing system of parks, privately owned open space, City-owned natural areas, recreation, and active transportation. This assessment informs a set of recommendations to enhance current elements for all Bozeman citizens, as well as guide the future expansion and evolution of the system to meet the needs of a growing and changing community. Note: At the direction of the PROST, Resolution 4784 was created to establish the criteria for evaluation of requests for use of cash in lieu of parkland dedication. What is the Parks and Trails District? In 2020, residents voted to create a parks and trails district. This district provides a dedicated source of funding for maintaining and improving our City’s parks and trails. One of the key components of the District is authorization for the City to annually levy assessments to provide for maintenance of all City- owned or managed parks and trails. This means that every penny that goes into the Parks & Trails District will be spent on parks and trails in the Bozeman community. It also ensures that the these publicly accessible spaces are maintained consistently across the City. 794 2007 2017 PROST Plan Population 2022 ~50,000 people Population 2010 37,280 Transportation Master Plan PRAT Plan! Figure 1.7 Current documents that are informing PRAT Plan. The PROST plan was used by the city starting in 2005 but formally adopted with the 2008 version of the transportation plan. Relationships to Other Planning Efforts/Projects Previous PROST Plan Adopted December 17, 2007, the City of Bozeman’s current Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Trails (“PROST”) Plan provides a framework for integrating existing facilities and programs, while further developing a system of parks, recreation facilities and programs, open spaces, and trails. The plan also helped to establish City policies and infuenced the evaluation of development proposals that impact this system. Finally, it provided a basis for grant application, regulatory requirements, and other funding mechanisms for parkland expansion. Following an assessment of Bozeman’s recreational facilities and trends at the time, the plan identifed issues and needs for the City of Bozeman’s Recreation Division as (1) increasing the quality and/or quantity of local swimming facilities, (2) enhancing local recreation facilities for youth, (3) developing two new family-oriented leisure aquatic centers, one southwest and one northwest of town, (4) developing a community recreation facility with an indoor- outdoor aquatic component connected to a large community park, (5) offering programs that provide multi-generational recreational activities, fosters healthy family relationships, develops character and team building programs, educates. Through community surveys, the PROST plan identifed trails as the most used recreational facility in the City. The PROST plan was successful in ensuring new private development and city growth contributed to new open space and trail creation. Transportation Master Plan (TMP) Upgrades to the City’s transportation system following the PROST Plan and the community’s 13 795 14 the PROST plan identified trails as the most used recreational facility in the City. Since the release of the TMP, the City’s paved pathway network and on-street bicycle lanes have been expanding. increasing interest in transportation-related matters called for a comprehensive transportation master plan to help direct future growth through innovative planning. The Bozeman Transportation Master Plan (TMP) aimed to provide a new examination of multi- modal transportation issues within the Bozeman area and address the present and future needs of the community. Since the release of the document, the City’s paved pathway network has been expanding. However, although the PROST plan also highlighted the importance of a connected trail system, the two documents are not always in sync. The objectives of the PROST plan sometimes differ from the TMP, complicating the implementation of both the TMP and PROST, further exacerbated by the fact that the two documents are funded and managed by two separate departments. Alignment with UDC Process The Unifed Development Code or UDC is a set of regulations that support public health, safety and general welfare related to physical city growth, use of property and development. Found within Chapter 38 of the Bozeman Municipal Code, the UDC covers a wide range of subdivision and zoning topics such as setbacks, building height, allowed uses, landscaping, affordable housing and parking. Some regulations apply city-wide while others are specifc to different city districts. In terms of parks, the UDC (in compliance with state law) sets the calculations for minimum park area (and/or cash in lieu) requirements for new residential development as well as minimal design requirements such as frontage, irrigation and sidewalks. The UDC also addresses other related factors such as trails and pathways and watercourse setbacks. Rules related to park and facility usage are addressed in a separate chapter (Chapter 26) of the Bozeman Municipal Code. The City is at the beginning stages of a UDC overhaul. Upon completion of the overhaul, it will be important to make changes to refect the vision of the PRAT Plan. 796 Figure 1.8 Bicycle tour through City parks to kick off the PRAT process Figure 1.9 Many residents commute to work by bicycle everyday and share the road with cars. 15 797 16 timeline and milestones engagement approach and outcomes methods and milestones engagement key findings r te chapish tni2. plan process 798 Project Schedule 2021 2022 Understand Analysis + Assessment 1 Engagement Milestone #3 August 23-25 Park Pop-ups 2 3 Begin!

The planning process was framed largely around signifcant engagement efforts to ensure the desires of the community and Department staff were accurately refected in the plan’s recommendations. Plan development was also shepherded by the Urban Parks and Forestry Board (UPFB). The plan process was structured around four phases: Phase 1: Analysis: The frst phase encompassed the discovery and understanding of Bozeman’s unique recreation and parks system, its organization, and its provision of programs. It included a high level review of park types and distribution of parks and trails across the city, in depth study of historical and ecological systems, a needs assessment, and a statistically valid community survey. Phase 2: Vision & Concepts: During this portion of the project’s development, system-wide concepts and plan themes were developed and tested through public and staff review and comment. Phase 3: Draft Plan: The third phase of the process included establishing guiding goals and objectives, as well as an implementation strategy. A review of trail connectivity, investments and maintenance was also conducted. Phase 4: Final PRAT Plan: The fnal stage of the project included documentation, review, and approvals. This phase resulted in this document and supporting design and maintenance manuals. Figure 2.1 Plan process and schedule. 17 799 18 Engagement Approach and Outcomes During the 15-month long planning process, the project team engaged over 900 community members and stakeholders. The City’s parks, facilities, and programs are all beloved, and the master plan process was structured to ensure that all park users and communities were invited and had the chance to weigh in on the future of this important recreational system. Methods and Milestones Much of the plan’s development occurred during uncertainty in the COVID pandemic and encouraged the City to think creatively about meeting residents where they were and through diverse means of communication and engagement. To ensure people felt safe and included in their participation, the plan included both online and in-person engagement methods, like online workshops, pop-up events in parks and events, partnerships with other city initiatives and outreach methods, and both statistically valid and community surveys with opportunities for residents to give feedback on preliminary plan recommendations. 800 In-person Engagement Drop-in at local events: Tabling at existing events like farmers markets and City-sponsored festivals can help to reach residents unaware of the plan process and ask quick questions about needs and aspirations for the future of the park, trail and recreation system. Early on, the City identifed a series of events to participate in and destinations to visit to help build awareness of the plan process and goals and to gather feedback using questions relevant to what was being explored by the process at that time. For events happening in 2021, this meant asking about favorite parks and barriers to access using a map and mad libs exercise, in which residents responded to an incomplete sentence with responses about their recreation experiences. In the Spring of 2022, engagement at existing events focused on resident visions and big ideas for future projects or policies. Ultimately, the PRAT plan was represented at over 20 events throughout the city. and were also posted on the City’s website, which offers Google Translate services. Statistically Valid Survey: A statistically valid paper survey was mailed to 2,500 residents across the City of Bozeman. This tool provided an important data set that represented a user group with similar demographic characteristics to the City as a whole and offered a balanced resident perspective across the City. Final results were based on 300 total surveys providing a 95% confdence level. The City also made this community survey available online to residents who had not participated in the statistically valid survey. An additional 100 people shared their existing patterns and needs for the City system. Community Workshops: Due to ongoing COVID restrictions during the plan’s development, the project team made the decision to hold community workshops online, halfway through the plan process. Online Engagement Project Web Content: Regular content updates were made to the City’s website, which serves as an increasingly popular resource for information and updates regarding city-led projects. The PRAT Plan was the frst comprehensive plan to take advantage of a new digital platform, engage. bozeman.net. The project team shared PRAT plan updates at and in between milestones. The site pulled 4,537 unique visits over the year that the platform was publicly accessible. Social Media: Ahead of major public milestones, the City posted visual graphics and imagery to promote the plan, promote public events, and gather reactions to early ideas on existing City social media platforms. Certain advertisements were translated into Spanish 19 801 These workshops included a short presentation and small group conversations that used the Engage Bozeman platform to help facilitate conversations and map or catalog participant ideas. The community workshops were recorded and posted on Engage Bozeman for anyone interested in participating but unable to attend during the early April meetings. At the end of each engagement milestone, engagement feedback was synthesized and shared with them in an easily digestible and clear format that can be shared on multiple digital platforms, both internally and with the broader community. Alignment with Other City Initiatives Safe Routes to Parks: The project team also worked in parallel with the Safe Routes to Parks grant team to ensure the PRAT plan helps to reduce barriers to accessing parks and facilities. This grant was awarded to the Human Resource Development council, District IX (HRDC) in partnership with the Western Transportation Institute (WTI) at Montana State University and the City of Bozeman to create and test a community liaison program to highlight systematically excluded voices. The plan worked alongside three community liaisons who are connected to different underrepresented communities including the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), LatinX and Figure 2.2 HRDC Safe Routes to Parks Community liaisons 2200 802 2121 disability communities. The liaisons tested a variety of tools such as targeted surveys, hosting small group conversations, organizing a walk audit, and collecting stories through one-on-one interviews. Staff and Stakeholder Engagement Staff engagement was essential to the success and implementation of the plan. In October, as part of the project’s kick-off, staff and stakeholders participated in a series of topical focus groups to learn about the system through the eyes of staff, partners, and city leaders. These representatives were reengaged as part of the plan vision process in June 2022 and again to help identify implementation priorities in August 2022. Engagement Key Findings Through the engagement process, the plan uncovered that the City’s parks and trails provide an important oasis in the fastest growing city in Montana. Bozeman residents clearly value opportunities to connect with nature and to safely access walking and biking trails. Residents also want their parks and facilities to be inclusive places where they feel welcomed by other park users, staff, and by the design of these places and the programs within them. Residents were also aligned in their desires for special use facilities, more specifcally swimming pools. Though these values are not explicitly contradictory, they span many topics, so the planning process was oriented toward fnding the right balance of investments, whether they be in policy, Department capacity, or capital improvements. The top responses from the public engagement process were related to desires for inclusion, relevant programs and elements, safe access, nature immersion, trail connectivity, special use facilities, and park etiquette. These seven engagement themes provide an important framework for the goals and strategies outlined within this plan. Engagementby numbers (Participation and Methods) 401 78 2 401 community surveys (300 statistically valid) 24 disability community Surveys 12 BIPOC surveys 78 locations mapped 45 ideas shared 1 online implementation poll 4,537 unique site visits 2 online community meetings 15 meetings with city, boards, and councils 24 pop-ups at events and in parks 803 Inclusion Many residents reported feeling uncomfortable or unsafe in their parks. Efforts to enhance physical access, lead program inclusion, and expand park policies will ensure that parks, programs, and trails are welcoming for all Bozeman residents. Relevant Programs and Elements Residents continually noted their love of their park spaces and requested that same level of investment in their programs and events. Safe Access Fast moving and wide roadways that are diffcult to cross, limited universal accessibility between homes and privately-owned open spaces or buildings, inadequate access to parks and facilities for the disabled community, and diffcult to reach park spaces were all identifed as creating barriers to safely getting to and using parks and participating in recreational opportunities. Nature Immersion Trail Connectivity Trails not only facilitate connections between natural areas and public lands, but foster community connections as well. Residents and visitors love the existing trail network and are excited for a more connected system of pathways and trails that are connected to beloved parks and important community destinations. Special Use Facilities Swimming pools and aquatics programs were consistently among the top ranked needs by plan participants. The need for more water play and swimming opportunities emerged early on in the process, before the temporary closure of the Bozeman Swim Center. Other desired special use facilities included a nature center and affordable indoor ftness spaces. Engagement feedback themes Residents enjoy the proximity to nature both within the City and outside its limits. Many residents are also excited for more nature play and educational opportunities. Relevant Programs Inclusion and Elements Figure 2.3 Themes 22 804 Care Many different audiences use Bozeman parks, and not everyone is thoughtful about the impacts their park use has on the experience of others, the park’s maintenance burden and fnancial cost, and the natural resources and habitat quality. In order for parks and trails to be fully inclusive, the City must ensure that people’s use of parks isn’t entirely shaped by dogs. Park rules should be clearly communicated and respected. Park users are expected to actively care for habitat, park equipment, and facilities. Through a community of care, people can protect their investment made via the Parks and Trails District and can begin to yield to others’ needs.

The recreational facilities, parks, and trails are intertwined into the daily lives and experiences of Bozeman residents and have become a central part of one of the most cherished destination towns in the country. To understand more deeply how this system is structured and how to expand its role equitably across the community, we need to understand what the system includes today and compare that understanding against what we’ve heard from residents. We also need to see how Bozeman’s system compares to other cities to identify where there is an abundance of access and where gaps exist. Finally, we have to look to the future, to anticipate needs not yet identifed and proactively address those trends through the plan. To do this, the PRAT plan evaluated the complexity of the system through three lenses: ◊ Bozeman Outdoors - What is the structure of the physical system and how does it compare to cities with similar populations and growth patterns? ◊ Bozeman at Play - What programs and events does the city lead and what programs are led by other similar organizations? ◊ Bozeman on the Move - What are the connections and gaps in the city’s system of trails, paths, and street network and how can the City work to close gaps in access between parks, homes and other important destinations?

Since the PROST plan, the system has preserved 17 acres of park space per 1,000 residents. The City’s park system plays host to a variety of fxed and temporary park elements. From ballfelds to wintertime skating rinks, tennis courts to dog parks, and paved trails to BMX trails, Bozeman’s parks are destinations for everyone.

This snapshot of Bozeman’s current population provides a basis for understanding community needs for recreation elements. Demographic ranges have been combined into a composite geography that reveal places with defned opportunities for city services like parks and recreation programming. In general, areas surrounding MSU and west of 11th Avenue and northeast of Oak Street and 19th Avenue show the highest need for parks and elements based on the demographic composite. The demographic data also establishes the magnitude and composition of population change in Bozeman and highlights segments (youth, the elderly, and people with incomes below the poverty line) that the City should position itself to better serve in the future. A proximity analysis reveals physical community access and gaps to parks and facilities. The analysis evaluates a ten minute walk (half mile) and six minute bicycle ride (one mile) from each park by following the existing road structure and it also takes into account road crossing barriers from the Figure 3.2 Social vulnerability demographic compilation map. Households with the highest vulnerability are the darkest shades on the map. 27 809 Parks Proximity Map N0 0.5 1 mile Roads Railroad City Boundary Growth Boundary Streams Lakes & Reservoirs Parks Areas within 10-minute walk Figure 3.3 Proximity analysis of access to parks from a 10 minute walk. Many of the Spanish- speaking people who were interviewed during walk audit outreach identifed Main/Huffne as a major barrier to get to their nearest neighborhood parks - Kirk Park and Bozeman Pond. 28 810 2017 Bozeman Transportation Master Plan. Any walkshed that falls over those signifcant barriers was removed to further indicate where park access is limited, especially for residents with mobility limitations, families, and people without cars. Access to parks is generally strong within the denser areas closest to Bozeman’s Downtown. Still, the mapping within this section only highlights the geographic and quantifable side of the PRAT’s understanding of access. From conversations with various members of the disability community, the Safe Routes program liaisons surfaced that a signifcant number of parks and trails and elements lack access for the disability community and for low income and Latinx communities. The City has gotten ahead of growth by investing in new parks where growth was highest, so neighborhoods with the highest populations have high walkable access to parks. This means that park access is typically high along gridded city streets. Conversely, large areas west, north and south where large subdivisions are being built lack walkable access to community parks and elements or are bisected by fast moving streets like Huffne Lane (Highway 191) and 19th Avenue. Bozeman is growing most rapidly in the areas with the newest parks as a result of land dedication regulations for new developments. Communities north and west of downtown are also increasing in population, and this growth pattern is projected to continue and reinforces the importance of safe access between parks and neighborhoods. Population growth is also occurring outside of downtown near the edges of the city. Comparison to Similar Cities As a city of just over 50,000 people, Bozeman has an abundance of park acreage, but the city’s population and development continues to grow up and out, a phenomenon that has outpaced many other urban areas during the pandemic. Prior to 2020, Bozeman was already growing rapidly, similar to peer communities. Like Bend, Oregon, Fort Collins, Colorado, and Boulder, Colorado which boast substantial outdoor tourism economies - Bozeman appeals to an outdoor culture and is increasingly a destination for people seeking outdoor adventure. The PRAT plan looks to cities of similar size and character to understand how Bozeman’s acreage, average park size, trail miles, and park and facilities elements compare. This assessment incorporated data from both the Trust for Public Land (TPL) and the National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA) to draw these comparisons. Bozeman was compared to seven other similar cities - Fort Collins, Colorado; Missoula, Montana; Helena, Montana; Corvallis, Oregon; Billings, Montana; Boulder, Colorado; and Bend, Oregon. Not only are these cities generally similar in size, ranging from 28,000 to 170,000 residents, they also have been growing substantially over the last decade. While Bozeman is the second least populous city among this comparison, it is the fastest growing city among those compared. Bozeman also has the third highest number of acres per thousand residents (17 acres), after Bend, Oregon and Missoula, Montana. The majority of Missoula’s overall parkland is also not developed. Only 6 acres per thousand residents is comprised of active park space. 29 811 Population Growth 2010-2020 Corvallis, OR Bend, ORBillings, MT Boulder,CO Fort Collins, CO Bozeman, MT Helena, MT Missoula, MT Peer Department Total Population (2020) Growth 2010-2020 Density Residents/mi2 Helena, MT 28,190 +14% 1,724 Missoula, MT 73,489 +10% 2,671 Bend, OR 99,178 +29% 2,347 Billings, MT 117,116 +12% 2,697 Bozeman, MT 53,293 +43% 2,839 Fort Collins, CO 169,810 +18% 3,015 Boulder, CO 108,100 +11% 4,003 Corvallis, OR 59,922 +10% 4,240 SOURCE: NRPA/US CENSUS Figure 3.4 With a population growth of 43% in the past decade (2010-2020) Bozeman has grown faster than peer cities that share similar growth patterns, size, and community appeal. 30 812 31 Where is Bozeman Leading? Through its development code and 2012 TOP Bond, Bozeman has facilitated investment in playgrounds and its trail system, and is working to expand access to a variety of typical park elements across the city. A closer look at Bozeman’s facility and amenity counts against similar cities highlights the importance of those investments - Bozeman has 54 playgrounds, twelve more playgrounds than Bend, Oregon with the second highest number of playgrounds. Bozeman is also well served by pavilions and natural surface trails. Bozeman however also has a defcit of recreation facilities (the City currently has no recreation-focused facility), basketball and tennis courts, sports felds, and water based play (spraygrounds and pools). Bozeman at Play From learning and exploring nature to opportunities for dancing and family cookouts, to spaces for sledding in the winter and public art, Bozeman’s park, recreation and active transportation system has the potential to meet the needs and wishes of every visitor. These places provide vital venues for people to experience togetherness or provide space for refection and alone time, to get exercise, and to learn new skills. The PRAT Plan evaluated what programs exist today and gathered community thoughts and ideas about what experiences they enjoy, would like to see expanded, or would like to introduce. Recreation Assessment As Bozeman grows, changes and new trends in recreation are also evolving and expanding across the country. Understanding both the localized and national changes in demand for recreation and wellness-centered classes and programs can help project future program needs and the spaces that will support them. The community survey helps to defne demand for programs and research into the City’s How does Bozeman Compare to Peer Cities? In Boulder, CO, the Open Space and Mountain Parks Department manages permanently protected land that forms a buffer around the city. In contrast, Bozeman has an extensive network of natural areas within town that serve as an urban oasis, and if better connected, will be part of an active transportation system. 813 32 How does Bozeman Compare to Peer Cities?

Mix of Recreation Programs The city provides over 125 different types of classes and events to residents. Many of these programs fall into the category of “core program”, which are categories that help to distinguish what audiences or what topics are covered in the City’s offerings. Bozeman has seven core programs - active aging, adult, aquatics, camps, events, preschool, and school’s out activities. In many departments, core programs are organized by activity type (ftness, nature, sports) and not by age group (preschool, youth, adult). Bozeman uses a combination of both activity type and age group. Like many growing cities, the Bozeman Parks and Recreation Department acknowledged a desire to expand offerings that are more inclusive and welcoming to an increasingly diverse population. As the variety of programming increases, re-establishing the core programs by topic or activity will help to clarify what programs are offered publicly, and better identify gaps in program areas internally. The City’s core program areas are described in more detail below. Active Aging Active aging programs are for participants 55 years and older. Nearly all of the classes offered in 2019 were ftness classes including Heart and Sole, Balance & Beyond, Sole Energy, and Stability and Mobility. Adult Adult recreation encompasses most programs that serve participants ages 18 years and older. These include avalanche awareness classes and sport leagues such as sand volleyball, ping pong, badminton and pickleball. 814 33 Aquatics The Department offers a robust swim instruction program for children 6 months through 12 years. For the youngest age group (6 months – 3 years), these classes are parent and child together (Angelfsh). For the next age group (3 & 4 years), Clownfsh is offered. There are several levels of swim instruction for 5 to 12 years olds and also for 6 to 12 years olds depending on ability. These courses are offered at the Bozeman Swim Center year-round and at the Bogert Pool during the summer months. The Department also offers lifeguard courses and a Water Safety Instructor course. Camps The Department provides several camp options for the community broken down into different age groups including 3 – 5 years, 5 – 7 years, 5 – 10 years, 8 – 10 years, and 11 – 14 years. Camps are offered during spring break, winter break, and summer and include opportunities for all interests including art, fshing, sports, and spring break at The Mill just to name a few. Events Several events are offered throughout the year – many which are free and do not require advance registration. These events include Easter Egg Hunt, Gallatin Valley Earth Day Festival, Discovery Walks, Pickin’ in the Park, Fishing Derby, National Trails Day, Youth Triathlon, Sweet Pea Children’s Run, Wellness in the parks, Walk with Ease, Avalanche Awareness, and Active Aging Week. Monster Mash (a Halloween themed event), Breakfast with Santa, and the Father Daughter Dance all require advance registration and target specifc age groups. Preschool Programming for preschoolers is divided up into several different age groups and includes a range of How does Bozeman Compare to Peer Cities?

School’s Out Activities School Day off events are offered throughout the school year when school is not in session. Programs are offered for 5 to 10 years and include several opportunities including sports, nature, and science. Youth Youth programming is also divided up into several age groups that range from six years old to early teen programs. Other Services In addition to the core programs and activities, the City manages other types of facilities that provide community leisure opportunities. ◊ Bogert Pool is an outdoor facility that has two swimming areas: a 25-yard lap pool (3.5 – 9 feet in depth) and a shallow pool for young children (1 – 3 feet in depth). The lap pool includes a climbing wall, a small slide, and a zip line. The shallow pool includes a small slide. This facility is typically open from mid-June to late-August each summer. ◊ The Swim Center is an indoor aquatic facility with a 50-meter, eight lane lap pool that is typically open year-round. From mid-August to mid-March, it is divided into a 25-yard pool and a 24-meter pool. ◊ The Rec Mobile provides recreation to children ages 2 – 10 years in neighborhood parks throughout the spring and summer. Recreation leaders facilitate play that keeps children outside, active, and engaged with peers. These opportunities are available on Monday and Wednesday evenings at different parks. 816 35 ◊ Several Bozeman facilities are available for rental including Beall Park Recreation Center, Lindley Center, Story Mansion, and Story Mill Community Center. Distribution of Programs and Activities A total of 329 programs were offered by the Department between 2018 and 2019. Understanding how the City’s enrollment-based program offerings are distributed across core program areas helps to identify broader City trends and community needs. The program with the largest quantity of programs offered was aquatics (160), regardless of season. The second largest quantity of programs offered was preschool (43). Excluding events since they generally don’t require registration, the program areas with the lowest quantities are school’s out activities and adult programs, with 8 offerings each. Events (4) include the Easter Egg Hunt, Pickin’ in the Park, Youth Triathlon Camps, Youth Triathlon Race, Sweet Pea Children’s Run, Wellness in the Parks, Walk with East, Avalanche Awareness, and Active Aging Week. Evaluating Programs by Age The PRAT plan evaluated recreational programs against current citywide age groups. This analysis indicates that while 91% of City recreation programs are designed for people under the age of 18, this age group represents only 22% of Bozeman’s population. The reason for this disparity is that the City bases its program offerings on public demand. The City will continue to test the demand in all age groups for new or expanded recreational programs. Program Enrollment Total enrollment into the Department’s programs was 3,414 in 2019. Aquatics had the highest enrollment with 1,092 participants, followed by preschool at 783, and camps at 661. Figure 5 shows all the programs and the percentage of each of the How does Bozeman Compare to Peer Cities?

There are some programs that are offered by other organizations who take their own registration (Skyhawks) and this data is not included in any of these analyses. Aquatics accounted for a third (32%) of the 2018-2019 enrollments, and preschool and camps accounted for approximately one-ffth of the programming each, 21% and 19% respectively. Aquatics accounted for nearly half (48.8%) of the program menu and 32% of all enrollments, which is typical due to the smaller class size and the advertisement of several course sections that can be combined, if needed. For camps and preschool, the percentage of participants is greater than the percentage of courses offered. Similar Providers Bozeman residents enjoy a wide variety of recreation programs offered by a host of different organizations – some of these are nonproft groups and others are private businesses. Many of these are provided space for their activities by the Department. The Department permits space to several affliate groups that provide recreation programs to the community. When discussing the permitting process with staff regarding the local sports programs, understanding of requirements were inconsistent. Future policies should be clarifed for consistent communications between the Department and affliate groups and should consider requiring all affliate groups to: ◊ require all coaches to submit to a criminal background check, ◊ compare the list of coaches to the state and federal sex offender databases, ◊ charge a special feld use fee for nonresident participants 818 37 ◊ track demographics and city-county resident status, scholarships given out and DEI training Fitness programs are often a desire for young adults in communities across the country. Due to the low percentage of programs offered by the Department for adults, ftness opportunities within the community were reviewed. There are several private facilities spread out in the community offering ftness opportunities for Bozeman residents. In addition to the camps offered by the Department, there are dozens and dozens of summer camps available for Bozeman Youth. There are opportunities for children of all interests including art, dance (ballet, hip hop, aerial hammock, and choreography), hiking, camping, rock climbing, STEAM (outdoor science and coding), sports, yoga, drumming, karate, performing arts, horseback riding, farm camp, and more. Community Survey During the winter of 2021, the City released a community survey and received 300 responses. This survey, which is statistically valid and has a confdence level of 95%, highlighted community-wide desires for programs, parks, and park improvements. The survey, which was administered by mail, contained a cover letter, survey document, and instructions for the survey to be taken online. The cover letter included instructions for taking the survey over phone for any residents that preferred to speak a different language in their response. Findings The survey surfaced signifcant shifts in park and facility use that could be attributed to the impacts of the pandemic on outdoor and indoor recreation, like recent changes in level of comfort with visiting facilities or taking part in online programs. There were also many unsurprising conclusions, including the fnding that Bozeman residents visited parks top 10 priorities for investment programs Aquatics or Swimming Arts and Culture Winter Recreation Fitness Etiquette programs for parks and trail users Outdoor adventure History Outdoor education Seniors/Active Aging Special Events 819 much more frequently in the past year than the national average. Ninety-seven percent of Bozeman residents visited parks in their community during 2020-2022 compared to 70% nationally. Using a calculation that combines the importance that residents place on a park, trail and program with the identifcation of unmet need, the survey was able to identify where a community should invest resources to add or increase facilities or programs. The top fve priorities for investment in recreation facilities and elements in Bozeman included natural trails, on-street bicycle lanes, indoor pools, outdoor pools, and shared use paths. The top fve priorities for program investment in Bozeman include aquatics programming, arts and culture, winter recreation, ftness, and etiquette programs for park and trail users, tied with outdoor adventure activities. The community survey also surfaced barriers to park or facility use and program participation. Only 22% of residents participate in programs and events offered by the City, which is below the national average of 32%, however this doesn’t necessarily refect the people who participate in programs within parks managed by user groups. The top reasons for lack of participation are that residents are not aware of the programs offered, have no time to participate, or have little interest in what the City offers. While park participation is at an all time high for residents in Bozeman, barriers still exist. Limited time, lack of relevant elements, maintenance and cleanliness concerns, and limited operating hours were among the top barriers to park visitation. When considering the priorities identifed between facilities and programming together, there is clearly a need to focus future investment on aquatics as well as outdoor education. With indoor and outdoor pools and aquatics being included in the top four for both facilities and programs, fnding spaces for arts and culture and history programming are two additional areas of potential focus. In addition, having a nature center and outdoor education both rating high, this type of programming (and potentially creating a new space) should be a priority as well. Bozeman already provides winter recreation, but additional offerings should be explored. Evaluating Facility and Recreation Component Needs Against Demand The community survey and public engagement process helps to defne priorities for strengthened or new elements from a public needs perspective, while an evaluation of national and similar peers articulates an understanding of demand for elements. By evaluating need and demand in unison, the PRAT plan can best describe where priorities for investment exist. Based on this evaluation, there are clear, aligned priorities for aquatics facilities, a nature center and indoor ftness space. 38 820 39 Bozeman on the Move The 2007 Bozeman PROST Plan established that the local trails are the City’s most utilized recreation facilities. Likewise, the PRAT Plan statistically valid survey revealed this to still be the case in 2022. This is not unique to Bozeman, as throughout the country walking and biking on local trails are low-cost, low- impact recreation and exercise options for people of all ages and abilities. Existing Network As a result of past and current investments in shared use paths, natural-surface trails, and on- street bicycle facilities, the City of Bozeman has established a solid foundation on which to continue to build a robust, city-wide pedestrian and bicycle transportation network. Currently, Bozeman is home to over 39 miles of shared use pathways, 79 miles of natural-surface trails, and 58 miles of on-street bicycle facilities, resulting in an existing active transportation network of approximately 176 miles. Active transportation routes were consistently prioritized as highly valued community elements during public outreach for this plan. Current trails and pathways overwhelmingly received positive responses from the community in terms of quality, and are also rated the top two most important facilities for future needs. Pathways and trails for recreation and transportation are top community priorities identifed in numerous local planning documents including the Bozeman Community Plan and the Bozeman Area Transportation Plan. Trails Health Benefits In 2020 American Trails published a guide highlighting the health benefits of trails: Mental Health Benefits • Spending even 20 minutes outside will have short term effects on the brain to reduce stress. • Countless studies show people self-reporting reduced stress, clearer thought patterns, more optimism, and an overall heightened sense of well- being after being outdoors. • We are now seeing more medical practitioners prescribe time in the outdoors as a way to combat depression, anxiety, and other health related issues. Physical Health Benefits • For every dollar spent on trails, there is a three- dollar savings in health care costs. • More overall physical activity is measured in communities after trails are built. • Cardiovascular benefits are seen across all trail user types. This means healthier hearts, and a reduction in preventable disease for trail users. • Commuting by foot or bicycle gains popularity when trails go into a community. This both reduces traffic and creates a healthier, more physically active community. 821 The current network, however, needs substantial improvement regarding equitable accessibility, range, connectivity, and safety. These key elements were identifed through the survey, public engagement and City staff input. East-West Corridors The trail system relies on the natural network of waterways throughout the valley that allow development of trails to parallel these waterways. As a result, traveling in a north-south direction using off street trails is relatively accessible throughout the City. However, corridors that run east-west tend to rely on sidewalks and on-street bicycle lanes for this directional movement. Lack of Connectivity The City has a system of shared use pathways, on- street bicycle facilities and off-street trails, but connectivity between these facilities is often lacking. For many common routes continuity of experience is frequently broken through lack of transitions between existing trails, shared use paths and bicycle lanes. This makes these routes more challenging and less comfortable as users are forced to negotiate wide roadways with high speed traffc. Furthermore, recreational trails in the winter, while still used by residents, can be unsafe or not enjoyable due to a lack of maintenance. what is active transportation? From the Partnership for Active Transportation: “Active transportation is a means of getting around that is powered by human energy, primarily walking and bicycling. Often called “non-motorized transportation,” we prefer the term “active transportation” since it is a more positive statement that expresses the key connection between healthy, active living and our transportation choices. Communities that prioritize active transportation tend to be healthier [because they enable] residents to be more physically active in their daily routines and [because they have] cleaner air to breathe. Active transportation systems also foster economic health by creating dynamic, connected communities with a high quality of life that catalyzes small business development, increases property values, sparks tourism, and encourages corporate investment that attracts a talented, highly educated workforce.” Source: Partnership for Active Transportation Existing Bicycle Routes Existing Trails Existing Shared Use Paths Roads Railroad Streams Lakes & Reservoirs Parks Open Space City Boundary Forest and Woodland Grassland Shrubland + Savannah 40 822 VVaalllleeyy C CenenttVVereraa L Llllleen ny Cy Ceennteter Lr Lnn II-9-9 0 0 I-9I-9e e00 vv A Ae erree Av AvBBaxaxtterer L Ln nBBaxaxtterer Ln Ln wlwlhhFoFott9911ee vvee vvOOaakk St St OOaakk S Stt A Aee e rrvveee ee A Ae Ae A Av AvwlswlhhFot Av Avshduut19hdFo19rtroto7733RRDDururststDDooururn nststoonn MMaaiinn S Stt MMaaiinn St St Downtown Bozeman HuHuffffHHiineneuufff Ln Lnfiinnee Ln Ln II-9-900 KaKaggyy B Bllvdvd KaKaggyy B Bllvdvd Rd Rd ddoooonn SSw Lee Loowe nnrvvee euurrroeeo At AwldhotFot Av Avdth Avwl AvotoothC19hddCFo19trtruu7733ggh Rdh Rd N0 0.25 0.5 1 mile 41 Current Active Transportation Network 823 System Barriers Based on analysis within the Transportation Master Plan of critical safe crossings at high traffc intersections and arterial streets which act as barriers, there are opportunities for future investments in parks and trails to be coordinated with opportunities to make the sidewalks, crossings, and roadways that surround parks and trails safer. The active transportation system relies on on-street bicycle lanes and designated bicycle routes to create a network for bicycles to travel throughout the city. The unprotected bicycle lanes in Bozeman are most commonly used by confdent bicycle riders, as these facilities are separated by traffc with just a painted line and exist within the street. While the network may appear to be robust, bicycle lanes are often viewed as not safe for a majority of users. Where Are Needs and Demands Aligned? Demand represents priorities identifed by the Bozeman community in the statistically valid survey and Need represents alignment of elements with peer communities. For example, not many people indicated that sports felds were a priority in Bozeman, though the City has a lot less sport supporting infrastructure than peer communities. Playgrounds were identifed as being important and Bozeman has more than their peers. There is alignment in both demand and need for the following: • Aquatics • Nature center • Indoor ftness 42 824 Barriers: Parks, Trails, or Facilities No time to visit parks/trails/facilities Parks/trails/facilities do not have elements I want Parks/trails/facilities not well maintained Operating hours are not convenient Not aware of parks/trails/facilities 12% 18% Top barrier to access 9% 7% 5% Figure 3.5 Top fve identifed barriers to parks, trails, or facilities within the Statistically Valid Survey Barriers: Programs Not aware of programs offered Top barrier to participation 45% 24% No time to participate in programming 16% Types of programming not interesting/relevant/desired Times when programs offered not convenient 12% Program location/venue not convenient 6% Figure 3.6 Top fve barriers to programs within the statistically valid survey LOW NEED HIGH NEED HIGH HIGH DEMAND DEMAND Playgrounds Trails Aquatics Dog accommodations Nature center Community gardens/ Food Indoor fitness D Forest NAMDEFields Courts HIGH NEED LOW DEMAND Splash pads LOW NEED LOW DEMAND NEED Figure 3.7 Demand (the y-axis) represents priorities identifed by the Bozeman community in the statistically valid survey and Need (the x-axis) represents alignment of elements with peer communities. 43 825 44 safe routes to parks community engagement The “Safe Routes to Parks Community Survey: Disability Community” and interviews conducted by the Community Liaisons indicated that several respondents were unsatisfed or unsure of support options for programming and events. A lack of access to ASL interpreters in the City of Bozeman was used as one example. Other participants cited inadequate transportation options to programming and events as a barrier. Comments included: “Post that interpreters will be made available upon request.” “He needs an interpreter to be understood. And it is the law.” -Interviewee “If there is a sign with info, you can offer a bar code to scan so the device will link to web pages or audio fles to be able to read it. Also, partnering with organizations like Montana Independent Living Project, Montana Association for the Blind, School for the deaf/blind, VR agencies and senior focused housing to get more folks active and out into the community.” - Survey Respondent “At the event at Bogert, he would have liked to be able to ask questions. He couldn’t do that without an interpreter.” -Interviewee 826 45 “We haven’t had much opportunity yet, but how do the deaf get interpreters so they can get equal access?” -Survey Respondent “For self and native students, main concern is how do we do this for free” - Interviewee during Safe & Welcoming Parks to BIPOC Communities conversation “At MSU, one thing that has been successful having events that engage in a direct cultural activity; not a lot of visual cues that people of color belong unless there are other people there” - Interviewee during Safe & Welcoming Parks to BIPOC Communities conversation community Liaisons Mikayla Pitts Hosted group conversations and conducted surveys to engage BIPOC community Conducted interviews and surveys to engage disability community Hosted front door conversations to hear from Latino community Bri Daniels Luis Islas 827 Parks and Trail Facilities by Type There are six park types that frame how the City activates, maintains and develops parks. These park types have unique characteristics that balance a variety of elements and demands based on their size, use, and location within the city.

Each goal is supported by a series of recommendations that will help to realize and implement them over time. Community conversations and ideas were distilled into plan themes which drove the outcomes. The PRAT recommendations refect the community’s love for their parks and recreation system, their aspirations and concerns for its future, and the changing social, environmental, and economic context that surrounds the system and future generations who will steward it. in this chapter goal 1: equitable access goal 2: programs, places, partnerships goal 3: pedestrian and bicycle facilities goal 4: natural resources goal 5: staff and capacity 831 Goal 1 Build on Bozeman’s unique strengths while creating WELCOMING, EQUITABLE ACCESS to all spaces and programs. A high priority of the PRAT Plan and the Bozeman Parks and Recreation Department is to provide high quality, equitable access to parks, nature, and recreation programs for all city residents - especially as the city grows and changes in the coming years. Through the planning process, both the level of service analysis and feedback from community members pointed to key areas of gaps in access, barriers created by fast-moving roadways, and to the increasing challenges of having more park users occupying the same beloved spaces. Even as population growth is projected to increase signifcantly in the coming years, the Bozeman Parks and Recreation Department holds frm in its commitments to work to ensure residents are within a safe ½ mile (or ten minute walk) to a publicly-accessible park, and can access a wide variety of recreation experiences and programs that meet the expectations of Bozeman’s high quality of life. To meet this goal, the plan includes strategies to ◊ ensure a baseline of elements across the city, ◊ meet targets for expansion as growth occurs, ◊ balance park use by increased numbers of people ◊ reinforce the diversity of the park system and ◊ expand access and usability of the system in all seasons and into the evening. 50 832 Bozeman’s growth as a city has moved from its original development in the 1920s around Downtown and the frst park at Cooper Park outward, with recent development focused in the west, north, and southwest. As the decades have evolved, development patterns have changed and the shape, uses, and character of the parks and open spaces within each neighborhood refects the era within which it developed. This varied character is both a strength and a challenge for the system: the variety lends interest and choice across the city, yet makes equitable access to recreation elements diffcult when the underlying park fabric is so different. Looking forward to increased growth and change, the PRAT plan seeks to leverage the diversity of the system, while ensuring a baseline of elements, access, and equity citywide. In the rectilinear gridded neighborhoods of historic central Bozeman, vehicular transportation did not fully impact the neighborhood pattern leading to more walkable neighborhoods where classic neighborhood and community parks predominate today. There, over ½ of all parks are community serving parks and over ⅓ are neighborhood parks. In the next ring of development, which formed in the middle to later 20th century, Bozeman grew outward from its downtown core and was developed around the rise of the automobile. Here, parks - such as the recent Story Mill Park - perform more multifaceted services drawing community members from both local neighborhoods and driving distances. In this middle era of development, natural areas in parks, linear parks and special use parks are much more common. Finally, modern neighborhoods that developed most recently in Bozeman echo the car-orientation of the latter part of the 20th century. There, destination parks with unique elements, such as Gallatin County Regional Park, can be found alongside more natural areas. 51 833 equitable access Strategies This is a trackable metric equitable access means that Parks and recreation services are accessible to all Bozeman users regardless of age,ability, language, or income. “N19th is a bike/ped barrier. Need safer crossing for east- west shared use paths” - Feedback from April Public Workshop 1.1. Create a Consistent Set of Basic Elements Across Neighborhoods. Elements are assets or features found in Bozeman parks and trails. Examples include play spaces, multipurpose felds, courts, pathways, buildings, and other physical infrastructure to support a positive park experience. The PRAT Plan Design Manual identifes typical park elements that exist within different types of parks. As the city grows and as new park spaces are constructed or existing parks are renovated, the City should use the design manual to ensure that a consistent baseline of elements are provided within each park type. Special parks may have a unique approach; this baseline is meant to serve as a general guide to promote equity and balance. ◊ Add park assets that were identifed as in high demand by the community in new and existing spaces. Using community feedback as a guide, add elements to increase access citywide to playgrounds (including universal play spaces), trails, spaces for dogs, community gardens/ food forests, felds, courts, and splash pads. Explore ways to respond to high demand and identifed need for aquatics, indoor ftness, and nature centers, which require more signifcant investment. ◊ Create and implement a plan to provide universal access to parks and programs. Parks and recreation services should be made accessible to all Bozeman users regardless of age, ability, or language. The Department can begin with an ADA audit of physical facilities and program access to create an ADA Transition Plan which should include clear phasing over time and identifed funding. Universal access should consider access and cultural appropriateness with special consideration of play spaces, trails (including paved trails), printed and digital materials, wayfnding and signage, and ongoing community engagement and communication. 52 834 “Need parks and outdoors where people can just “exist and be yourself;” as a writer I crave to walk to a park and just write or read” -SRTP Conversation: BIPOC Communities ◊ Strategically include and allocate resources for equitable community engagement in parks, recreation plans and capital projects to align with changing community needs and concerns. Bozeman’s recent Strategic Plan resulted in creation and adoption of the Engage Bozeman Community Engagement Initiative in April 2021 which is a guiding framework for how the community can contribute to decision making processes. The PRAT plan incorporated Engaged Bozeman principles and approaches, and was able to use a partnership with the HRDC’s Safe Routes to Parks grant to increase the focus on engagement and outreach to underheard communities to ensure that their voices were heard and incorporated. In particular, the grant included community liaisons to Bozeman’s BIPOC, Latinx, and disability communities. Future engagement should build on the lessons learned from PRAT engagement overall and on the early relationships from this engagement to deepen and extend connections into all communities in Bozeman. Perhaps the most important lesson learned was that additional resources (both funding and time) need to be specifcally added to projects to meaningfully support this type of more diverse engagement. Additional engagement recommendations include: ◊ In line with the universal access strategy above, future community engagement should factor in universal access and translation/interpretation. These components should be planned and budgeted for at the start of any project. ◊ During future park and recreation planning and improvements, staff should develop engagement processes that match the scale of the improvement and subsequent impact. These plans should coordinate with the City of Bozeman’s community engagement process and early outreach to community organizations, partners, and affected community members. “Parks build and enhance neighborhood character and community culture” -Partners PRAT Visioning Session Figure 4.1 (Next page) The Design Manual included in this plan outlines park typologies and typical assets. 53 835 park Typologies & Typical assets Pocket Parks Address limited, isolated or unique recreational needs and typically 1 acre or less in size.

Environmental Stewardship Cultural Sites Access to greenways, trails and nature viewing opportunities Protection of natural resource areas Connection to further trail systems Protection of naturalwetland and ponds Parcels with steep slopes and natural vegetation 55 837 equitable access Strategies This is a trackable metric The City of Bozeman currentlyprovides 17 acres of parkland per1,000 residents If the population grows to 91K by2050 and the City doesn’t not continue to acquire parklandthrough development,park acreage will drop to 9.6 acres per 1000 residents. 1.2. Maintain the Current Level of Parkland per Resident (17 Acres per 1000) by Growing Park Acres as the Community Grows. The City of Bozeman currently provides 17 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents, not including undeveloped open space, putting Bozeman’s current parks provision in the upper middle of similar peer cities. If the population grows to 91,000 residents by 2050 and the city does not acquire land, this ratio will drop to 9.6 acres per 1000 residents. While Bozeman’s overall park supply does not indicate a shortfall today, staying in balance with future rapid growth will be important since residents have made clear that parks are a core driver of quality of life in the city. ◊ Refne and clarify the process of obtaining new parks, natural areas within parks, facilities and trails from new development through changes to the UDC. The UDC currently requires new residential development to support park system growth through either direct land dedication, a contribution to a fee-in-lieu fund, or a combination of both. This contribution acknowledges that residential development generates a need for additional parkland, facilities and trails; yet, it has not always produced spaces with the right match of elements to community needs or enabled more strategic investment in the system. The plan recommends creating criteria that allow more targeted allocation of resources to meet the specifc needs of a neighborhood and acknowledge the land’s intrinsic value for recreation or environmental contributions. These criteria, if met, could enable the contribution of more well-designed park spaces and more connected trails/pathways between parks. 56 838 ◊ Continue to improve coordination with the School District. This is a trackable metric State law and the UDC allow for a subdivider to dedicate a land donation to a school to satisfy park land requirements, subject to the approval of the City Commission and acceptance by the school district. This provision could be explored in more detail to foster increased coordination for mutually benefcial public facilities such as a new aquatics center. ◊ Explore the possibility of requiring commercial development to also contribute to parkland. Hotel and motel guests are increasingly using city parks and trails as Bozeman continues to grow into one of the leading outdoor recreation tourist destinations and sports tournament centers. While state law currently prohibits requiring parkland for subdivisions that are all nonresidential, there is the potential to explore commercial linkage for parkland through zoning requirements. Using existing national data to supplement local data can help to effciently create the needed nexus study. This could supplement the cash-in-lieu fund and be used for park and pathway improvements. Staff should monitor discussions at the state level that could open the door for parkland requirements applicable to commercial developments. 57 839 equitable access Strategies This is a trackable metric This is a trackable metric This is a trackable metric tourists are increasingly using city parks and trails as Bozeman continues to grow into one of the leading outdoor recreation destinations ◊ Invest in acquisition of new pathways, parks and natural areas within parks that: 1) help to close existing 10-minute walk gaps, and 2) overcome extreme physical barriers. For future investments, the Department should use park space & trail gap mapping to prioritize adding land in areas that are experiencing limited public park space today, or reducing barriers, such as rail or busy roads, between existing neighborhoods and parks. ◊ Focus increased parks and recreation service in areas of high growth or current park overcrowding. Work with the Community Development Department, during growth policy updates in particular, to align park and recreation investments in areas planned for new housing or increases in density in the future. ◊ Acquire land to make key trail, path or park connections identifed in the Active Transportation component of the plan (Goal 3) and to better connect people to parks. Collaborate with staff in Transportation and Engineering to expand the continuity of the active transportation network by overcoming existing gaps through acquisition of land, facilitation of safe crossings, and the maintenance of continuity of facility type and level of comfort. 58 840 VVaalllleeyy C Cenentterer Ln Ln I-9I-900 BBaxaxtterer Ln Ln ee Avee AvvvO eOaak Sk St et ere rel Ave Ave A Aehh Avtt Aveewlw Av Avhhddoo99ttrrousousFF117733RRDDuurrsstotonn MMaaiin Sn Stt HHuuffffiinnee Ln Ln II-9-900 Kagy Blvd dd Roow LneSS Avenlereou Avouorrttwhdt Avhddoo9trCF173ouougghh R Rdd d d Roow Ln e noerl Avttwhtoo9CF1Kagy Blvd e e Av Avhdrt730 0.5 1 mile N Roads Parks Railroad Areas within 10-minute walk City Boundary Growth Boundary Streams TMP-identifed roadway barriers Park access gaps Lakes & Reservoirs Figure 3.8 Proximity analysis of access to parks from a 10 minute walk. 59 841 equitable access Strategies This is a trackable metric This is a trackable metric 1.3. Balance the Needs of Different Park Users. The popularity of many of Bozeman’s parks, open spaces, trails, and recreation centers is both a success and a challenge. Community members reported many issues with overcrowding, user conficts, and balance of different activities. As the City continues to grow, these concerns will only increase without efforts to respond with greater service or programs and policies that reinforce shared spaces. ◊ Expand on the local culture of respect for and accessibility to public land to create safe, accessible and well cared for parks, privately owned open space, City-owned natural areas, and trails. Continue to partner and expand public land and public space ethics that reinforce respect and civic engagement in public spaces. Reinforce the Gallatin Valley Land Trust’s additional educational efforts to support similar outcomes. ◊ Make rules and regulations clear and easy to understand. Ensure that all parks, trails, and centers contain clear, direct, non-conficting, and community-minded signage that clarifes rules, regulations, and expectations of behavior for use of facilities. Signage should be communicated in English and Spanish. Chapter 26: Park Regulations, Bozeman Municipal Code should be separately evaluated and updated. ◊ Partner with volunteers and youth. Explore a park ranger volunteer program and junior ranger program to expand monitoring capacity and model “Leave no Trace” and respectful ethics in parks and recreation spaces. 60 842 ◊ Expand dog park spaces, programs, and policies to promote balanced use and enjoyment of park spaces by all. Bozeman is a dog-friendly city, and many residents use the parks and trails system to get outside and recreate with their pets. Today, there are nine city-owned off-leash dog facilities, and dedicated spaces have been created through private development contributions to parks and open space. According to the NRPA, dog park spaces are an important community asset to promote social gathering and well being of pets and owners. Still, community feedback reported that dogs in parks is a large source of conficts and complaints among residents. Future investments should combine design and management strategies with informational programming and policy changes to balance and manage the needs of dog owners and non-dog owners in parks. A few areas for exploration to address this topic directly include: ◊ Design and manage future dog park spaces according to best practices and community needs. The National Recreation and Park Association recently published guidelines to inform the design, management, and maintenance of dog park spaces. Their recommendations range from organizing the space for separate users, to elements to include (water, lighting, surface materials) to signage and regulations, and maintenance practices. Dog park locations and design in Bozeman should also consider protection of natural spaces and riparian plantings. ◊ Expand programs and activities. Many parks and recreation departments offer a range of courses geared to dogs, including training, owner information, and social activities. Consider broadening into this area through partnerships or expanded Case Study One Montana “Outside Kind” campaign: The primary goal of Outside Kind is to share best practices, principles and tips for enjoying the outdoors in any community. Whether you wish to encourage your friends and family or visiting guests to hike kind, ride kind, fsh kind, etc., Outside Kind is designed to offer users consistent and clear messages around outdoor activities, increase user knowledge, and maintain natural resources. We also encourage users to engage with organizations and communities that provide opportunities for you to enjoy our wild places. 61 843 equitable access Strategies Case Study The City of Austin’s B.A.R.K. program is an example of a new city-initiated dog etiquette program, based on the National Park Service’s Healthy People Healthy Parks Initiative which created a B.A.R.K. program for national sites. Austin’s B.A.R.K program strives to teach dog owners etiquette specifc to visits to public parks with dogs. The program stands for: Bag your pet’s waste; Always leash your pet; Respect wildlife; and Know where you can go. With successful program completion, dogs can also become “BARK Rangers!” programs to support more formal opportunities for dogs and dog owners to socialize and get easy access to instruction. ◊ Consider designated off-leash hours. Some communities also include specifc off leash hours in parks, not just designated off-leash areas. These additional off leash hours are designed to avoid times when small children or high volumes of people are likely to use the park space and reduce conficts. Some areas are also closed to dogs during wet or thawing conditions to prevent damage to grass and feld areas. ◊ Partner with Animal Control on initiatives to increase compliance. ◊ Continue to incentivize low income and affordable housing through changes to the UDC. 1.4. Support All-Season Recreation. The Bozeman community’s desire to get outdoors and be active is not limited to fair weather days. Instead the city and its parks and recreation spaces and landscapes take on new dimensions and activities during the colder months. Maintaining access to outdoor experiences in the winter can be important to balance Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which is a type of depression that is brought on during the fall and winter months. Currently, partners such as the Bridger Ski Foundation program existing park spaces, groom cross-country ski trails. 62 844 ◊ Support existing winter activity partners by This is a trackable metric increasing access to complementary indoor space. Indoor spaces support outdoor wintertime activity by providing storage and warming spaces which expand programmatic and concession opportunities. Indoor space also makes participation more viable and accessible for people of all ages and abilities. Bozeman’s larger historic parks, which also are located in the east side of the community with better winter snow access, are often characterized by older park buildings. These buildings abound with charm and authenticity, but are not fully operational to the public. Opening small buildings to community use offers many benefts, but also will require additional resources, in terms of staffng and operational support. Small buildings also do not offer the effciencies of larger centers, but meet more specifc, local needs. The City should explore the costs and benefts of each site and investigate ways to partner and share costs. ◊ Conduct a feasibility study of indoor recreation facilities. The Lindley Center is currently being renovated but could be further explored for renovations and improvements that better support year-round public use to expand recreation and programming opportunities at Lindley Park, for skiing and beyond. A feasibility study of the building should frst be undertaken to understand costs associated with physical improvements (weatherizing, insulation, code-compliant updates, access and parking), program and staffng costs, operations and maintenance implications, and community benefts. With a complete picture of needs, opportunities, and constraints, the City can explore potential partnerships or grants to support capital improvements and future operations. Vendors or concession operators can also be additional ways to outsource elements and raise small amounts of revenue; however, the commodifcation of these spaces could displace the individual community users who rent the spaces for public and private events. 63 845 equitable access Strategies This is a trackable metric Figure 4.2 Pedestrian bridges in Bozeman ◊ Reduce barriers to participation in wintertime activities. Many wintertime activities entail specialized equipment and require warm weather clothing to be comfortable and safe. The Bridger Ski Foundation’s annual Ski Swap is an example of a community-driven effort to make wintertime recreation equipment available in a more affordable and sustainable way. If a building like Lindley were renovated and made open to the community, a possible vendor or city-led effort could include loaning or renting equipment to encourage new users in addition to the BSF program. ◊ Communicate best practices for safety outdoors in the winter. Outdoor winter recreation safety practices are similar, but different, from those in warmer months. While many in Bozeman are well-prepared for outdoor activities, newcomers to winter sports may beneft from safety information and support around hydration, staying warm, and risks to mobility. Informational signage for trails prepared for winter use or other outdoor spaces and the presence of warming huts or access to water can support safe use. ◊ Adapt maintenance practices for winter use. As more spaces are made available and adapted to wintertime use, align maintenance practices and resources to additional care needed to maintain paths, parking areas, and access to facilities, parks and open trails. This might include winter maintenance of shared use paths (see Goal 3 for alignment with active transportation recommendations) to allow for more ‘year-round’ commuting, as well as enhanced winter recreation use of trails, like designated/groomed fat bicycle trails or Nordic skiing areas. 64 846 1.5. Increase Safe Evening / Nighttime Access at Designated Facilities with Appropriate Lighting, Management, and Programming. The top barrier to usage of parks, trails, or facilities that Bozemanites identifed in a statistically valid survey was a lack of available time to participate (18%). Survey results also noted that residents say operating hours are not convenient (7% or 4th place ranking). Today, Bozeman Parks and Recreation does not have a fully operational, all day recreation and community center. Instead, a combination of the new Story Mill Community Center, Beall Center, and the Bozeman Swim Center work together to provide distinct services to the community, with the recent addition of the Story Mill Community Center taking an important step forward. However, Story Mill’s main offce typically closes by 4:30pm unless a user group has reserved a space (though, as of 2022, Ping Pong is happening in the evenings several nights). Beall Center also closes though is available for community use Friday, Saturday, Sunday. In contrast, Bozeman park policy is to keep parks open until 11:00pm, unless specifed otherwise. In peer communities, recreation and community centers are often open until 8:00pm or 9:00pm most evenings. Evening programming and drop-in hours provide important fexible options for busy Bozeman residents of all ages. In particular, it offers a “third space” for teenagers to be together and socialize, other than home and school. Extended hours are important to capture teens and younger children after school hours and support busy people whose days are occupied with work and other requirements. Extended hours bring with them expanded needs for staff resources to support programming and facility operations. The Department should evaluate demand and access across its facilities, determining where it can begin to pilot extended hours and what it will cost to support this. As planning for the westside recreation and community aquatics facility continues (see Goal 2.1), evening hours should be considered as part of that major, citywide investment. BOZEMAN’S parks, recreation spacesand landscapestake on new dimensions during the winter. Figure 4.3 Cross skiing is a popular outdoor winter activity 65 847 equitable access Strategies 1.6. Design Parks that Refect Their Unique Neighborhoods and Refect the Department’s Brand. ◊ Use parks to tell stories that engage with arts, culture and local history and refect local identities. Key possibilities for storytelling include: Bozeman residents identifed a need and desire for more arts and cultural programming, a request that was a much higher priority for Bozemanites than in other cities. In addition to considering programs, Bozeman’s parks and trails have a chance to engage with art to express community culture, the city and region’s history, industrial relics, local heroes, and unique environmental systems. Approaches to storytelling must refect the diversity of the city and region to celebrate a range of lived experiences as the area becomes increasingly diverse. Signage and interpretive panels can communicate effectively, while murals and other forms of public art are more creative platforms for storytelling. Always plan ahead for needed maintenance practice changes and engage maintenance team members in design decisions for non- standard features and art. ◊ Weave local sports history and heroes into parks, educating the public about important Bozeman fgures such as mountaineers Conrad Anker or Alex Lowe, paleontologist Jack Horner, teacher Frieda Bull, and Sacagawea, the Shoshoni woman who accompanied Lewis and Clark on their westward journey. ◊ Amplify hyper-local stories at neighborhood parks, through art, interpretation or naming, in partnership with community processes and partners. The PRAT plan engagement included a naming contest for a new park. Carefully consider Figure 4.4 Multi-modal transportation on trails in the winter include biking, walking, and skiing. 66 848 the common practice of naming parks and other places after people, as the meaning and relevance of these names can change over time. ◊ Work with partners to incorporate art into functional park elements when possible, like the existing frog and trout drinking fountains. ◊ Draw attention to and educate about interesting natural history elements such as watersheds, creeks, and wetlands as successful programs such as the Gallatin Valley Land Trust’s Discovery Walks have done. ◊ Prioritize the hiring of women and minorities in the formal request for proposal process, and in contracting for recreation providers, vendors, and park investment work. ◊ Beyond permanent installations, activate spaces and tell stories through festivals and special events. ◊ Explore signature play experiences. Creative play experiences are increasingly popular, as evidenced at Story Mill Community Park where design of the play structures interpret the landscapes of Montana, from farms and agriculture to rocky terrain and forested wilderness. While it is not practical to have every play structure represent this level of design for maintenance and cost reasons, there is an opportunity for strategic expansion of artful play in other areas of the city as future community parks are developed. These are key opportunities for partners or philanthropic engagement. ◊ Celebrate Bozeman’s park bridges. Bozeman’s parks and trails include many unique, architectural pedestrian bridges that go beyond their utilitarian function. The city should build on this pattern and embrace opportunities to continue it in the future. Artful/designed bridges could be mapped to create a Bridge Loop or passport for visitors to explore Bozeman’s parks and trails through a new lens. top barrier to usage of parks, trails, or facilities was a lack of time to participate “To cater to youth and teenagers, transportation infrastructure could be expanded for teen destinations” - Partners PRAT Visioning Session 67 849 Goal 2 Strengthen PROGRAMS, PLACES, AND PARTNERSHIPS to meet changing community needs. Demand for existing and new programs is high, and Bozeman residents are keenly interested in structured programs like classes, sports, bicycle parks, and events and places that allow for unstructured or individual-led recreation. Investments in this range of activities, classes, sports, and events alongside places to enable residents to explore their own creative approaches to ftness and wellness will have a signifcant impact on residents’ lives. Finally, the Safe Routes to Parks Community Survey: Disability Survey and a review of program participation rates all identifed a gap in inclusive or adaptive programs. These programs can build on what the Parks and Recreation Department already offers and be structured around the specifc needs of persons with different physical, visual, or mental abilities. From a youth soccer game to a swimming class, residents’ lives are impacted everyday by their participation in the recreational programs that the City offers. In addition to developing more inclusive program offerings, the PRAT plan also recommends flling in existing programming gaps based on regional and national trends to create a more robust and equitable range of opportunities for residents of all backgrounds and abilities. 68 850 Bozeman residents are aligned in identifcation of their top three program needs: access to aquatics or swimming, arts and culture, and winter recreation. Beyond this consensus, residents identifed needs for over 18 different programs. Given the size of existing facilities, the City’s staffng capacity, and the wide range of recreation needs, the Bozeman Park and Recreation Department today is unable to provide all programs at all locations. By re-purposing the facilities that the City has and partnering to build new spaces that support what the community wants most in places with the lowest access, the Department can make better use of available resources and tailor programming to meet the needs of all residents. The following strategies outline how the City can make use of what it has, expand inclusive programming, and craft a transformative program menu over time. 69 851 programs, places, partnerships Strategies Bozeman has limited indoor space to support indoor programming This is a trackable metric 2.1. Invest in Distributed Community Recreation Hubs Across the City. Bozeman has limited indoor space to support indoor programming and has less community center and recreational facilities than its peer cities. Still, the City and various partners are actively engaged in conversations to close facility gaps. For example, the City of Bozeman and Belgrade are all working to increase access to aquatics spaces and programs through investments in new swim facilities. ◊ Create an intergenerational, multi-functional center on the west side of the city. The 2012 Feasibility Study, ongoing library and community center project, and ongoing aquatics discussions reinforce the need for a new recreation center and outdoor pool facility. Investments also need to be made in existing facilities, especially the Bozeman Swim Center and Bogert Pool to ensure aquatic facilities are more evenly distributed across the city. ◊ Prioritize future facility or community hub investments in areas with limited park access and places where growth is highest. Coordinate all long-term future community hubs near land within the city designated commercial mixed-use or residential mixed-use as identifed by the City’s future land use map. ◊ Regularly update and expand the City’s park and facility inventory to support community health, wellness, and need across the city. Baseline elements for community hubs like universally accessible and gender neutral restrooms, indoor gathering spaces, outdoor pavilions, water access and aquatics related elements, and trails within parks should be increased in areas of the city with high social vulnerability or in areas projected to grow. 70 852 2.2. Create Program Offerings and Elements That Respond to Community Needs, Especially Underserved Demographic Groups. While people across all ages currently participate in recreation programs, anecdotally, community members indicated that currently the Department does the best job providing a range of options for youth activities. Winter recreation, arts and culture, and aquatics or swimming programs were the programs for which the highest number of residents indicated were a priority for future investment. Many of the programs identifed as community priorities have specifc requirements about the types of facilities that can support their function or have limitations on inclusion. The Department should focus on providing program offerings that support a welcoming, inclusive, and accessible environment for all residents. ◊ Redefne core program areas to focus on program type rather than age. This is a trackable metric Rather than organize programs by age group, which is how these programs are organized today, Bozeman should consider using activity types to designate core programs, building on the core programs residents identifed as priorities for future investment. The PRAT Plan proposes that the future core programs be organized into nine program areas - arts, athletics, aquatics, camps, ftness, general interest, lifelong learning, nature/outdoor education, and outdoor adventures. Within each program area, the goal would be to provide offerings for all age groups (preschool, youth, teen, adult, active aging). There will still be age-specifc core program areas like camps, which would only include preschool, youth, and teen. Organizing in this fashion will clarify the structure of recreation programming and reinforce how the City is incorporating the needs and desires of residents for structured experiences and activities. 71 853 programs, places, partnerships Strategies the city presently organizes programming by age group This is a trackable metric ◊ Develop a policy for inclusive or adaptive recreation programming. While the Department aims to make all programs inclusive and accommodate participant special needs for accommodations on a case by case basis, the Department needs a formal policy for therapeutic or inclusive programming to communicate how these needs will be met and set expectations regarding program participation with Bozeman residents with intellectual, physical and/or sensory disabilities. In accordance with these efforts, Eagle Mount distributed disability survey to get relevant community feedback. The City needs to continue outreach to get the word out to partner organizations, leaders and individuals with disabilities and their families. ◊ Center park equity. Use lessons from initiatives such as the Prevention Institute’s People, Parks, and Power initiative to ensure that Black, Latino, and Indigenous people beneft from investments in parks and park programming. 2.3. Craft a Formal Policy to Defne Partner and Affliate Group Relationships. ◊ Formalize oversight of athletics partners and feld use with public and private sports organizations. Explore an athletic commission to work with the operators of private leagues to coordinate scheduling, sign-ups, marketing, and offcials. ◊ Consider requiring all affliate groups to provide proof of coach criminal background checks, and compare the list of coaches to the state and federal sex offender databases. 72 854 ◊ Partner to expand the mix of Arts and Culture program offerings. Building on a successful partnership with the Bozeman Municipal Band, explore more opportunities for program partnerships or shared use agreements with Bozeman Art Museum, the Emerson, and other cultural organizations to support arts-based education and capacity building. ◊ Expand temporary art exhibitions and permanent public art programs across city parks and facilities. Work with the Gallatin Art Crossing and other organizations focused on community enrichment and wonderment, like Random Acts of Silliness and Mountain Time Arts to foster more engagement with art and exploration throughout the city. 2.4. Clarify the Field Reservation and Use Process. ◊ Create a clear calendar and reservation system for feld reservation needs. ◊ Charge a special feld use fee for nonresident participants. 2.5. Broaden Awareness of Programs and Services. In the statistically-valid community survey, over 90% of respondents rated parks and recreational opportunities in Bozeman as good or excellent. Yet, throughout the planning process, and in that same survey, citizens and stakeholders frequently indicated they were unaware of all of the parks, facilities, and programs that the Park and Recreation Department offers. Just under half of respondents were unaware of or do not take advantage of the City’s programs. This is a trackable metric Case Study BumbleWood Thicket Fairy Village 2022 Located amid the winding, wooded paths of Glen Lake Rotary Park in Bozeman, the 3rd Annual Fairy Village contained all new fairy homes and business establishments created by talented Montana artists. 73 855 programs, places, partnerships Strategies This is a trackable metric “People freaking love the park when it gets fooded for hockey.” - Partners PRAT Visioning ◊ Develop mobile applications for users to fnd system information (e.g., park locations and elements, trails and paths, program information, upcoming events) or to report a problem. People increasingly prefer to access the majority of their information online, rather than through print material. In response, communities across the country are developing mobile applications, or apps, with information and locations of all of the municipality’s parks and facilities and their elements, tied to work cities are already doing to inventory and communicate all that their parks have to offer. It can be a great tool to get the word out to teens and young adults about park-specifc events, share updates about new facilities or programs, and provide a seamless connection to a centralized program registration system. ◊ Continue to review the most effective uses of electronic and social media for marketing and informational purposes. Almost half of Bozeman residents are unaware of the programs the City offers and the printed program guide continues to be the primary source of information about City- led programs. The City of Bozeman social media platforms including, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram collectively have over eleven thousand followers. These platforms could be used to market programs and classes, as well as to broadly share when the Department is hiring and celebrate major events. ◊ Highlight health and wellness benefts of Park and Recreation Department programs in all informational materials. Bozeman Health, Healthy Gallatin, the Billings Clinic and the City-County Health Department, among others, already track localized health information and share health benefts of increased physical activity, thoughtful eating habits, and access to the outdoors. The Department should develop 74 856 75 a relationship with these health-focused partners to communicate the role of parks and recreation on community health online, in social media posts and program guides, and in City facilities. 2.6. Work with Regional Tourism and Economic Development Organizations to Create a Strategy That Addresses the Benefts and Impacts of Increased Tourism on Parks, Facilities, and Events. Over 1.94 million visitors few into Bozeman’s airport and spent a total of $1 billion dollars in Gallatin County in 2021 alone. As the gateway to Yellowstone and Big Sky, the Park and Recreation Department has the opportunity to capitalize on the value and quality of its events and parks to attract visitors to the city, recoup costs, and support economic development. Given the increasing trends in visitor numbers and park uses in and out of Bozeman (including those who are coming through Bozeman to get to other destinations), the City plans to respond to the impacts of increased use on parks and natural areas within parks to preserve environmental health and programmatic opportunities. ◊ Work with the City of Bozeman’s Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Bozeman Partnership to strengthen the Park and Recreation Department’s contribution to local and regional marketing efforts. At a minimum, this could include fyers in the tourism offce, at the Bozeman airport, and top ten City park attractions on partner webpages to help strengthen engagement between visitor experiences of the city. ◊ Cross-market Park and Recreation Department destinations with other regional attractions to encourage visitors to spend time and money in the city of Bozeman, like the Pathway to the M. The following programs are offered by many agencies across the country, but are programs not currently offered by the Department. ◊ Arts ◊ Childcare ◊ Cooking ◊ Dance ◊ E-Sports ◊ Golf ◊ Gymnastics/Tumbling ◊ Homeschool ◊ Horseback Riding ◊ Language Arts ◊ Martial arts ◊ Music ◊ Open Gym ◊ Pets ◊ Preschool ◊ Seniors ◊ Theatre/Acting ◊ Therapeutic Recreation 857 programs, places, partnerships Strategies IN 2021, Over 1.94 million visitors flew into Bozeman’S airport ◊ Advocate for a resort tax. Montana legislation enables local communities to charge a resort tax. The resort tax is a local-option sales tax that provides Montana communities and resort areas a funding source to fnance a variety of services or improvements. The City of Bozeman should continue to push for legislation that would allow it to charge a resort tax. ◊ Consider impact of tourism on facilities and infrastructure. 2.7. Gather Program Data and Track Program Participation Annually. The pandemic has shown just how benefcial parks and recreation programs are to the health and wellness of a community; yet, Parks and Recreation Departments continue to work within increasingly tight budgets and cuts as a “nonessential” community service. Data can help to safeguard against budget cuts. Data-driven decisions are needed to better make the case for the essential contributions of parks, open space and recreation services as well as to ensure that investments are shared equitably across the city and, particularly, to places where investments could have outsized impacts on the long- term physical and mental health of residents. This is a trackable metric ◊ Establish metrics for measurement of departmental goals (i.e., program cancellation rate, program reach, new programs offered, and residency). One method to establish and track progress is to develop a Department-led “business plan” process that establishes priorities and defnes performance metrics as a way to quantify the Department’s success towards program goals. The business plan could be developed as part of recreation staff meetings to brainstorm metrics and connect staff to achieving quantifable goals. 76 858 ◊ Begin Recreation Division quarterly program evaluation process. Using fee to participation data, customer satisfaction surveys, and overall program participation as a guide, meet as a Department quarterly to share updates to program investments, participation rates, and revenues after every program season to refect on the season and prepare for future investments. ◊ Track population changes, community health metrics, and development starts across the city, and use that data to inform decisions about locating recreation programs and events. Work with Gallatin City and Gallatin County Health Department, Bozeman Health, and Billings Clinic to help support their Community Health Needs Assessment process and identify any metrics that help to tie individual and community health outcomes to nutrition programming, physical activity, and outdoor experiences. This is a trackable metric Data can help to safeguard against budget cuts 77 859 programs, places, partnerships Strategies “Organize frequent family, kid runs” - Community member during August Pop-Up Event 2.8. Grow Program Partnerships in Areas That are Complementary to Department Offerings. ◊ Enhance existing local public, private and nonproft partnerships and seek out new ones to fll gaps in service delivery. The City’s Park and Recreation Department operates over 125 programs a year, which is signifcant for a small group and a resident population of over 50,000 people. There are also many private and not-for-proft organizations that provide either similar programs or help to close the gaps on programs the Department cannot operate. As an example, Aquatics are among the most sought after programs for residents of all ages, reaching capacity within hours of opening the registration portal. The YMCA, and other programs and private providers help to alleviate the pressure on Bozeman to provide aquatics programs across the City, especially more recently when an unexpected closure at the Bozeman Swim Center meant that many City-led programs needed to fnd space for aquatic needs. YMCA partners with Eagle Mount to provide swim opportunities (the YMCA facility does not have a swimming pool). Other pools include Lone Mountain and the Ridge. Another possible partner is Big Sky Wind Drinkers, a running club that promotes physical health while bringing people to parks and natural areas around the City. ◊ Expand partnerships beyond the Montana Parent Magazine to deploy seasonal program guides. Additional partners could include organizations that serve persons with disabilities, persons who speak a language other than English at home, seniors, teens, and young adult populations. The Department needs to also formalize, and improve, coordination of relationships to best utilize these partnerships. 78 860 ◊ Create partnership, teaming guidelines and policy to defne goals and expectations. The City of Bozeman currently has a wide range of partnerships with various organizations for programming, advocacy, land acquisition, and park improvements. To protect and strengthen these relationships, it is vital that the Department craft formal agreements that better defne common mission, outline expectations, timelines, and specify leadership roles for both the City and the partner organization. Bozeman’s operations, capital investments, and programs are made stronger by successful partnerships with like-minded organizations. The Gallatin Valley Land Trust and their trail acquisition and trail building programs are an example of a mutually benefcial partnership the City of Bozeman wants to continue to enhance and expand. Not all relationships are as successful. Communicating expectations early and clearly around topics that can easily become signifcant challenges if not addressed, like maintenance or operations roles, will help to support the capacity of City staff and optimize existing resources aligned with the core mission of the Department. Partnerships, even strong ones with long standing organizations like the Gallatin Valley Land Trust, beneft from short term agreements that allow both parties to revisit terms every few years to protect the relationship over a sustained period. The PRAT plan proposes that the Department engage all partners in two to fve year agreements with all program, maintenance, and investment partners. The Department’s addition of a Volunteer/Engagement Coordinator position to staff will help coordinate these partnerships and maximize the benefts of such relationships. 79 861 Goal 3 Connect Bozeman’s community with safe and enjoyable PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE FACILITIES. Demand for new facilities to expand the current network of pathways, trails and bicycle facilities is strong and the network will need to keep up with the growing community. Additionally, the need to improve connectivity and reduce barriers within the network must be addressed. This goal is focused on the facilities and policies needed to connect and grow the recreation and active transportation network of shared use paths, natural trails, on-street bicycle boulevards, and sidewalks. A safer, well-maintained, connected path and trail system provides more residents with the option to walk or bicycle as a primary means of transportation. Whether for work or accessing goods and services, the better the network the more residents will choose active transportation as a less expensive, healthier, and environmentally friendly option over driving a personal vehicle. 80 862 How people move to, from, and within parks is fundamental to building a healthy community, both in terms of providing active options for transportation, but also for providing equitable means for residents to access park facilities and programs. Active communities have improved health, a cleaner environment, and are more sustainable and resilient. To maintain and improve its status as an active transportation community, Bozeman must prioritize the construction and maintenance of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. Expanding and improving a network of safe, accessible, and effcient paths and trails will make active transportation an even more attractive option for everyday travel by everyone. This plan includes recommended strategies and key actions to create a connected active transportation network that integrates with the parks and recreation facilities. Together with the specifcations outlined in the Design Manual and the implementation recommendations, these strategies outline the actions to build a seamless network for active transportation. 81 863 pedestrian + bicycle facilities Strategies “A big investment in parks and connecting trails would make the city much more vibrant and livable.” -PRAT Plan Engage Bozeman public comment 3.1. Invest in a City-wide Active Transportation Network. Expand the active transportation network to provide both reliable recreation and transportation opportunities throughout the community. In coordination with the county level Triangle Trails Plan, this plan identifes preferred routes that establish network connectivity. Additional neighborhood trails built through the private development process will further enhance connectivity. ◊ Use this plan as a guide for future public infrastructure planning and investment and as a resource in the private development process. Proposed facilities identifed in this plan will be incorporated into the City’s GIS mapping and other resources to ensure that the public and development community has access to the proposed network. Proposed pathway alignments shown are a ‘planning level’ representation of intended routes, which provide connections between destination points and desirable pathway experiences for a variety of users. In the fnal implementation of the proposed network, adjustments and modifcations to the alignments shown are expected. Such adjustments may be required to navigate environmental features, meet code requirements, accommodate landowner desires, and complement future development projects. These adjustments should be expected and accommodated, so long as the adjustments do not compromise the original intent to enhance network connectivity. The proposed new routes represent approximately 137 new miles of shared use paths, 36 new miles of connector paths, 107 new miles of neighborhood trails, and nine miles of bicycle boulevards for a total of 289 miles of new pathways. 82 864 83 Typologies* Anchor Routes Primary routes linking neighborhoods to parks and commercial areas.

Visionary Highlyvisible All-ages and abilities Uninterrupted All-season Anchor Routes are Shared Use Paths, with a minimum with of 12-feet, are intended to establish unbroken routes linking neighborhoods to parks and commercial areas. They connect to neighborhood trails and connector pathways to provide a unifed network. ◊ Build upon the practices and standards established by this plan by including active transportation within future Transportation Master Plan update. Many facilities included in this plan are also identifed as bicycle and pedestrian facility recommendations in the 2017 Transporation Master Plan (TMP). Providing a comprehensive approach to active transportation, including pathways, trails, and on-street bicycle facilities, within future updates to the TMP will enable the continuation of best practices for an integrated system for transportation and recreation facilities. ◊ Annually update the network improvements priorities using the recommendations included in Chapter 5. The list of proposed new routes and connections exceeds the annual investment for active transportation. In order to maintain and grow the network, the City should annually review and dedicate funds to effectively construct the new routes over time and consider requirements in the development code for new developments to infll the system as they currently do for roads. 3.2. Identify and Develop a Network of Anchor Routes That Serve as Key Travel Corridors. Anchor Routes are the backbone of the active transportation network. Existing pathway corridors, like the Gallagator Trail, as well as new routes are identifed as Anchor Routes. These primary routes will serve as longer-distance, lower-stress, and comfortable anchors for the active transportation network. Anchor Routes provide a highly visible system enhanced by the wayfnding plan. These primary routes strive to maximize connectivity between key community locations. The alignments are designated because they provide cohesion within the system (suffcient spacing and connection to the supporting grid) and directness in terms of distance. These routes and improvements will focus on safety, 868 comfort and enjoyment for all ages and abilities. At times, Anchor Routes will be primarily part of a street cross-section that ties together lively civic spaces. At other times, Anchor Routes will fall entirely within a park or a parklike space. ◊ In collaboration with Gallatin County, Belgrade and regional partners, develop a regional shared use path loop system and look for opportunities to implement the loop using wayfnding as the City grows and the pathway system improves in connectivity. ◊ Identify key needs for land acquisition, easements, and coordination opportunities with land development projects to secure Anchor Route corridors. This is a trackable metric This is a trackable metric This is a trackable metric "I would love to ride my bike from Bozeman to Belgrade and Four Corners without traveling along a high vehicle traffc route." -PRAT Plan Engage Bozeman public comment Developing a network of Anchor Routes will require a long- term vision and a comprehensive strategy to aggregate the necessary land or legal access. ◊ Prioritize funding to build, connect, and maintain Anchor Routes. The City should add prioritized shared use path and connector path projects to the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP). Likewise, an annual portion of the City’s street construction budget should be allocated to build shared use paths and critical connector paths. In areas of key park connectivity beneft and where severe barriers exist, cash-in-lieu of parkland money can be used to close gaps. Routes not likely to be completed with adjacent development should be prioritized. ◊ Plan for robust maintenance of Anchor Routes to ensure year-round use and a high level of accessibility. A complete set of maintenance recommendations are provided in the Design Manual. 87 869 Baxter LnBaxter Ln Valley Center LnValley Center Ln I- 9 0 I- 9 0 Oak StOak St DurstonDurston Huffine LnHuffine Ln Kagy BlvdKagy Blvd 19th Ave19th AveFowler AveFowler Ave19th Ave19th AveFowler LnFowler LnCottonwood RdCottonwood Rd Proposed AT Network East/West Connector Baxter LnBaxter Ln I-9 0 I-9 0 I-9 0 I-9 0 Oak StOak St DurstonDurston Huffine LnHuffine Ln Kagy BlvdKagy Blvd Kagy BlvdKagy Blvd Main StMain St 7th Ave7th Ave Bridger DrBridger Dr Tschache LnTschache Ln Annie StAnnie St 19th Ave19th AveRouse AveRouse Ave Fowler AveFowler Ave3rd Ave3rd Ave 7th Ave7th Ave 19th Ave19th Ave Fowler LnFowler Ln3rd Ave3rd AveSourdough RdSourdough Rd Figure 4.7 Proposed East-West Connector highlighted in or ange 88 870 I- 9 0 I- 9 0 Kagy BlvdKagy Blvd I-90I-90 Main StMain St7th Ave7th AveRouse AveRouse Ave3rd Ave3rd Ave7th Ave7th Ave3rd Ave3rd AveSourdough RdSourdough RdFrontage Pathway Baxter LnBaxter Ln Oak StOak St Ferguson AveFerguson Ave Flanders Mill RdFlanders Mill Rd Valley Center LnValley Center Ln Catamount StCatamount St I-9 0 I-9 0 19th Ave19th Ave Fowler AveFowler Ave I- 9 0 I- 9 0 Fr o n t a g e R d Fr o n t a g e R d Figure 4.8 Proposed Frontage Pathway highlighted in orange 89 871 pedestrian + bicycle facilities Strategies This is a trackable metric "Traffc Calming on Babcock is critical as promoting access to Valley West park. Bike lane on Babcock is a step, but decreasing the width of the road and more trees close to the street edge would slow traffc more naturally on this corridor and improve multimodality." -PRAT Plan Engage Bozeman public comment ◊ Design traffc calming measures into the routes, particularly at key destinations to reduce potential conficts. As the network grows and connectivity improves, developing design standards to minimize conficts at key destinations will build a safer network. These include bollards, striping, signage, and designating space for different mode types. 3.3. Close Existing Gaps in the Pedestrian and Bicycle Network. This plan identifes areas of Bozeman that lack adequate access to the network and neighborhoods where facilities are isolated due to a lack of connectivity. New shared use paths and connectors are proposed in these areas to close network gaps and increase overall connectivity. ◊ Prioritize construction of network segments to close key connectivity gaps. This plan recommends creating a project prioritization matrix. High priority projects should be added to the City’s CIP or funded with an allocation from the City’s street construction budget. ◊ Establish an inclusive network of bicycle boulevards that provide low-stress connectivity through Bozeman’s core. Bicycle Boulevards are streets with low motorized traffc volume and speeds. More than simply a designated bicycle route, they are designated and designed to give pedestrians and bicycles travel priority by using signs, pavement markings, and obstacles to limit speed and number of vehicles. Bicycle boulevards are a key component of a low-stress active transportation network providing connections throughout the core of the community. 90 872 91 Bike BOulevards Bike Boulevards are local streets that prioritize bicyclists, pedestrians, and rollers of all ages and abilities. The goal of a bike boulevard is to increase bike and pedestrian comfort, safety, and accessibility to provide more active transportation opportunities through urban settings. Although some vehicle traffc is still allowed on these boulevards, cars are demoted to secondary users. Creating successful bike boulevards require implementing a variety of strategies including traffc-calming mechanisms, ample signage and pavement markings, and protected crossings. Bike boulevards should include a selection of (but are not limited to) the following design elements: Signs and pavement markings – Essential elements for establishing and differentiating a bike boulevard from a local street. Signage and markings communicate priority for bikers and pedestrians, while limiting through traffc and lowering vehicle speeds. Signage guides users through the active transportation network. Figure 4.12 Bike boulevard Figure 4.9 Sharrow pavement markings Figure 4.10 Wayfnding Signage Figure 4.11 Identifcation Signage 873 92 Vehicle volume management strategies – Established to reduce vehicle through- traffc. Diversions can be either regulatory or physical. Regulatory treatments include signs that post written street restrictions, such as banning turns or entry onto a street during specifc times of day or only allowing pedestrian + bicycle facilities Strategies Vehicle speed management strategies – Physical improvements to the streets that reduce vehicle speeds to a maximum of 15 to 20 miles per hour. Vertical defections, such as raised speed humps, horizontal defections, such as chicanes, and street narrowing, all create streets designed for slow driving. Figure 4.16 Neighborhood traffc circle Figure 4.13 Chicane Figure 4.14 Speed hump Figure 4.17 Pinch point Figure 4.15 Median island Figure 4.18 Curb bulb outs 874 93 residents to drive on the bike boulevard. Physical treatments are constructed barriers that prevent certain vehicle traffc from entering the bike boulevard. Figure 4.22 Signage/ Partial closure Figure 4.23 Right-in, right-out Figure 4.19 Median diverter Crossings – Protected intersections and crossings allow for continuous and safe travel of bikes and pedestrians along the bike boulevard corridor. Adequate protection at intersections should ensure that intersecting car traffc is highly aware of crossing pedestrians and bicyclists, while establishing a comfortable crossing experience for users. Figure 4.20 Median refuge island and RRFB Figure 4.21 Curb bulb out Figure 4.24 HAWKS crossing 875 94 pedestrian + bicycle facilities Strategies mid-block crossings Figure 4.25 Confict diagram showing that mid-block crossings have fewer conficts with vehicles. Mid-block crossings are often needed due to off-street active transportation routes intersecting the street network away from existing street intersections. These are ideal for connecting neighborhood trails to nearby services and the greater active transportation network. Figure 4.26 The Gallagator trail at Graf Street where trail has been cut for road extension. Snow tracks after a few hours of use show that the sign routing users to a crosswalk 160 feet away is not effective. An effective mid-block crossing consists of a marked crosswalk, appropriate pavement markings, warning signage, and other treatments to slow or stop traffc such as curb extensions, median refuges, beacons, rectangular rapid fashing beacons (RRFBs), hybrid beacons, and HAWK signals. Designing crossings at mid-block locations depends on an evaluation of motor vehicle traffc volumes, sight distance, pedestrian traffc volumes, land use patterns, vehicle speed, and road type and width. Mid-block crossings provide opportunities to provide convenient and direct connections between pathways. Experience in Bozeman shows that diverting these users to nearby intersections is not effective or practical and will not dissuade many users from crossing at the most obvious location. On collector or arterial streets with center turn lanes, mid-block crossings should be paired with pedestrian refuge islands to shorten the crossing and enable users to focus on crossing one direction at a time. Mid-block crossings vastly simplify the number of potential conficts and decisions that need to be made by both trail users and motorists over intersection locations. 876 ◊ Ensure new private development is required to construct any adjacent active transportation facility identifed in this plan. As Bozeman continues to grow, private development will continue to be the means for building out the active transportation network. Update the UDC to include best practices from other communities adapted for Bozeman. 3.4. Improve East-West Connections. Most of Bozeman’s primary active transportation corridors run north-south, aligning with creeks or other waterways that fow through the area. Thus, there are currently very few continuous path and trail corridors in Bozeman that run east-west resulting in serious connectivity and access issues. ◊ Prioritize construction of east- west network facilities. Identifcation of gaps and routes that provide east- and west-running routes should be identifed on an annual basis in order to address this network inadequacy. ◊ Improve safety of pedestrian and bicycle crossings for east-west routes. North-south arterial streets act as major barriers to east-west active transportation routes. Therefore, as the recommended east- west routes are implemented, safe crossings must be included. 19th & Lincoln Pedestrian Crossing This is a trackable metric Mid Block Crossing on Oak St (View 1) Mid Block Crossing at Oak & Ferguson (View 2) Figure 4.27 At locations where active transportation facilities cross a major street, a variety of treatments can improve visibility and safety for bicyclists and pedestrians 95 877 Baxter Ln Oak St Durston Rd Huffine Ln pedestrian + bicycle facilities Strategies 3.5. Improve Crossings That Act as Major Barriers for Pedestrians and Bicyclists. Addressing network barriers created by Bozeman’s arterial roadways is a priority to ensure that the active transportation system is no longer fragmented by busy streets. Strategies have been established for various safe and intuitive pedestrian and bicycle crossings across large roads, such as 7th Avenue, 19th Avenue, Oak Street, and Huffne Lane, which prevent continuous low-stress active transportation connectivity across the city. Critical locations for these crossings were identifed by assessing pedestrian-bicycle-vehicle confict points and desire lines along major arterials. Baxter Ln Oak St Durston Rd ◊ Prioritize improvements to critical safe This is a trackable metric crossing locations. This plan identifes the locations of important crossings that need safety improvements. The goal of these improvements is to increaase connection throughout the city to improve to the entire system. ◊ Implement ‘best practice’ safe crossing confgurations and technology. Huffine Ln The safest crossing design alternatives will likely not be the Roads Railroad City Boundary Growth Boundary Streams Lakes & Reservoirs Parks Existing Trails Intersection Crossings Midblock Crossings least expensive. The critical importance of providing the safest crossings and the long-term health and air quality benefts of increased ridership requires committing the necessary funding. 3.6. Implement a Comprehensive Wayfnding System. A comprehensive wayfnding system is a mandatory element of Bozeman’s active transportation network. Effective wayfnding signage is a cost-effective way to improve the overall use and accessibility of the system. Comprehensive wayfnding helps people traveling throughout the network and directs them to community destinations.

The wayfnding system should give clear guidance to users to ensure their experience is safe and that they understand any accessibility considerations related to that particular pathway, crossing, or facility. ◊ Provide information such as destinations, direction, distance, and travel time. Detailed and accurate wayfnding information will increase user confdence, improve travel effciency, and ultimately increase overall network utilization. ◊ Support and promote Bozeman’s identity. Future wayfnding should reinforce the unique identity of the City in the colors, textures and fonts used in signage. To ensure that the wayfnding identity is communicated comprehensively, implementation of the system should happen within phases over ten years and include parks and buildings that tie into the active transportation system. To ensure cohesiveness of the whole system, existing signage should be considered into decisions of future wayfnding identity as much as possible. ◊ Build community voice into the wayfnding strategy process and raise visitor awareness of the overall network. The wayfnding strategy should look back to community feedback to the PRAT Plan related to access and safety in order to ensure increased awareness of the fnal result. 98 880 3.7. Install Path Improvements Along Active Transportation Routes. Certain associated improvements adjacent to pathways are essential for the success of a functional and safe active transportation network. Others are not critical for network function but enhance the user experience, safety, and cleanliness, and are often greatly desired by the community and are particularly necessary when trying to effect mode shift toward bicycling. ◊ Commit to installing the recommended This is a trackable metric required improvements. As discussed further in the Design Manual, certain supporting facilities like wayfnding and lighting are essential to a highly functioning active transportation network. Lighting should be included in priority transportation routes and be dark-sky compliant.

Optional mprovements not only improve resident’s experience but encourage higher utilization of the active transportation network. These include strategically located benches, bicycle racks, and water fountains. 3.8. Include Bozeman’s Linear Parks and Watercourse Corridors as Part of the Active Transportation Network. Many of the existing network gaps and new routes identifed in this plan could be implemented by allowing more fexible use of linear parks and watercourse setbacks. Consider updates to the Unifed Development Code, as recommended in the Policy Considerations section, within the “How Do We Get There” chapter. ◊ Explore limited use of paved pathway typologies within watercourse setbacks while adhering to best practices to avoid impacts to natural resources. If shared use paths, connector paths, and neighborhood trails were permitted within Zone 2 of watercourse setbacks regardless of surface types, then infll pathways could facilitate connections to the larger trail network. Note: Any allowance of trails in watercourse setbacks should be the exception, not the rule. Partner with natural resource organizations and agencies to establish the best practices for environmentally sensitive pathway designs ◊ Allow certain active transportation corridors to be designated as linear parks that meet parkland requirements. In many cases corridors that incorporate pathways and adjacent open areas should be recognized as both active transportation routes and parkland. 100 882 101 3.9. Ensure Inclusive and Equitable Access To and Within Parks. To develop an inclusive active transportation network, pathways must be designed and maintained to engage communities of varying incomes, and feel safe and accessible to all age groups, modes of travel, and ability levels. The network should consist of a variety of facility types that promote walking, biking, and micromobility as both recreation activities and transportation options. Finally, the network of shared use and connector paths should meet the minimum standards for accessibility to create a variety of accessible active transportation and recreation opportunities for those with mobility challenges. ◊ Develop policies to guide the use of e-bikes, e-scooters, and similar modes of assisted mobility within the active transportation system. Electric assisted modes of micromobility encourage and allow more people to engage in active transportation. Comprehensive policies that include education and enforcement components can effectively incorporate all modes and minimize user conficts. A comprehensive approach to electric assisted modes should be included within the future updates to the TMP. ◊ Develop a toolkit to evaluate and prioritize projects. Use adopted City plans (Strategic Plan, Community Plan, Climate Action Plan, Transportation Master Plan), key network connections, and equitable access goals as prioritization criteria. “Everything that is not a car” that weighs less than 1,000 pounds - Horace Dediu on what constitutes Micromobility what is micromobility? Micromobility is an umbrella term encompassing a variety of small, generally low-speed vehicles and conveyances that can be electric or human-powered and privately owned or part of shared feets. Micromobility devices include most small, predominantly one-person vehicles that operate at low speeds and are not gas-powered. Most micromobility devices ft within a standard bike lane or sidewalk and weigh less than 100 pounds. Although the term applies to everything from skateboards to wheelchairs, the term, coined by Horace Dediu, gained popularity when feets of bikes and scooters fooded city streets in the 2010s, kicking off a revolutionary trend that has altered the way planners and policymakers think about and regulate street space in many cities. When supported by safe and accessible infrastructure, micromobility devices can bridge the gap between public transit options, replace cars for short trips, and complement larger delivery vehicles by providing last-mile services in dense neighborhoods. Shared feets can eliminate the cost of private ownership and the hassle of bringing devices onto public transit while connecting urban residents to their destinations.

Revise the Active Transportation Network Classifcations and Comprehensive Design and Maintenance Standards. Clearly defned typologies for active transportation routes is critical to identifying which facilities best serve which users. The recommended typologies are intended to not only provide common nomenclature for this plan and future plans, but also to establish corresponding design standards. A more comprehensive analysis of these typologies and standards is included in the Design Manual. ◊ Redefne and simplify off-street active transportation typologies. This plan recommends a revised structural hierarchy of pathway typologies that loosely mimics Bozeman’s roadway classifcations of arterial, collector, and local streets. The three recommended pathway typologies are shared use paths, connector paths, and neighborhood trails. ◊ Create standards for bicycle boulevards. Bicycle boulevards create low-stress routes within existing neighborhoods by increasing awareness and safety of pedestrians and bicycles, by ensuring vehicle speeds are reduced. Major street crossings will have treatments designed to enhance safety and comfort. ◊ Establish comprehensive standards and specifcations for construction and maintenance. Standards for the design and construction of all active transportation typologies is critical to successful implementation of the PRAT Plan. Maintenance standards for construction, surface preservation, repairs, safety precautions, and managing adjacent landscaping should be developed for and consistently applied to all network typologies. 102 884 Comparative Typologies Street Network Active Transportation Network Local Neighborhood Collector Connector Arterial Shared Use Urban Route Anchor Route Winter maintenance, like removing snow from shared use paths, is critical to year-round active transportation 103 885 Goal 4 Steward and sustain NATURAL RESOURCES across the parks and trails system. The intersectionality of Bozeman’s natural and human systems continues to shape how the city grows and manages its environmental, social, and economic assets. The City of Bozeman is shaped by thousands of years of human interaction with the land, which has changed more rapidly as white settlers built roads, businesses and houses over the landscape--culverting creeks and covering wetlands. As the city approaches its growth boundary, the balance of agrarian uses and woodland, meadow, and wetland land covers continue to decline at a rapid pace, giving way to more developed places. Since the PROST, developments have been required to give neighborhood parks, and open space/natural resource areas have been left to HOA management. As learned from PRAT plan outreach and to simplify landscape management, the PRAT recommends changing policies to include natural areas within parks, which include stands of native trees and shrubs, watercourses, riparian corridors, and wetlands as part of a larger neighborhood park. The PRAT recommends that barriers to achieving this type of park system be removed from the code to embrace a balanced parkland system. 104 886 Keeping in mind that the need for ecological conservation is constant, he PRAT Plan presents an opportunity to strengthen our relationship with natural systems and to develop new approaches for City-owned and managed parks. This Plan seeks to protect more natural areas in order to adapt to climate change, sustain ecosystem services, and provide for the recreational use and enjoyment for generations to come. This goal identifes strategies to protect valuable green space balanced with increased development pressures, improve water conservation and air quality, support responsible use of our parks and natural areas, and craft a resilient future. Mature existing trees are an asset to be protected at every opportunity. Urban trees represent habitat and food for wildlife and also provide an array of ecosystem services and health benefts for humans and non- humans alike (i.e., shade, cooling, carbon sequestration and storage, soil stability, clean air, etc.) 105 887 natural resources strategies 4.1. Create Design Standards and Management Practices Appropriate to Each Landscape Type. Environmental standards will provide much needed guardrails for decision making that ensures that the City has the capacity to purchase, improve, and appropriately maintain various park landscapes. ◊ Create a landscape design and management best practices toolkit. Pull best practices from past plans and local manuals as a guide, like the 2017 Gallatin Valley Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018 Climate Vulnerability and Resilience Strategy, and 2020 Bozeman Climate Plan among others. These best practices should include considerations regarding desired outcomes, typical designs, and plant lists. ◊ Consider a rating system to set goals and benchmarks and evaluate progress. Rather than starting from scratch, the City can look to existing environmental standards and benchmark systems like The Sustainable SITES Initiative (SITES), which provides a comprehensive framework for designing, developing and managing sustainable and resilient landscapes and other outdoor spaces. This program provides clear guidance for standards and also connects environmental outcomes with community beneft. The standards should also include tools for reduced fre risk, drought management, shade, and food adaptability. ◊ Encourage sustainable trail design and maintenance through the PRAT Design and Maintenance Manual. 106 888 4.2. Promote Sustainable Trail and Park Use. Parks are ideal places to build awareness of natural systems. This can be accomplished by planting native vegetation, incorporating trails that immerse people in nature while staying on paths, reducing the use of machinery or chemicals in maintenance processes that can impact water and air quality, and communicating the ecosystem service values of natural areas. ◊ Use thoughtful trail design that encourages people to stay on the trail, with inviting access points to sit, watch, fsh, and play. ◊ Establish an awareness campaign for low impact park and trails use within natural areas. The value of natural areas should be better communicated to enable more stewardship of those places. Well-intentioned visitors should always stay on marked trails to protect wildlife habitats and reduce negative impacts to native vegetation, including ecological degradation from heavy foot traffc off designated paths. Successful awareness campaigns are accessible to young audiences and provide a balance of friendly, clear messaging with facts that reinforce the importance of abiding by park rules. Campaigns that reinforce the relationship between dog owner behavior and intended or unintended outcomes should also be considered. Refer to Strategy 1.3 (Balance the needs of different park users) for more information about programs to support a dog owner and dog etiquette program. 107 889 natural resources strategies 4.3. Advance the Protection and Enhancement of Natural Resource Areas and Trees, Especially Sensitive Lands. This is a trackable metric ◊ Use the Sensitive Lands Plan and maps to guide future parkland acquisition and developer dedication in accordance with 76-3- 621 Montana Code Annotated. ◊ Identify funding mechanisms or partnerships for acquisition of land. The Park and Recreation Department’s mission focuses on recreation experiences for people. While the Department does own many natural areas and works to maintain the land sustainably, the purchase of public lands that limit public access are not aligned with that mission unless well- integrated into the design of the park. In order to maintain the net open land, a portion of cash-in-lieu and other funding should be focused on acquisition. The City should continue to purchase land but also needs to rely on partnerships and other entities to acquire land in fexible and creative ways. 108 890 109 ◊ Allow watercourse setbacks, wetlands, and other priority conservation lands and similar acreage to contribute to dedication requirements in new developments. As of 2022, land dedication in new developments is limited to upland parcels that enable active uses, however these same dedication requirements do not include improvements to the park beyond irrigation infrastructure, sod, and perimeter trees and sidewalks. Incorporating critical habitats, riparian corridors, and wetlands into a portion of the land dedication requirement will enable the City to take on unifed management of sensitive lands and increase the development’s responsibility to improve adjacent areas for more active uses with more elements than previously required. Not only will this change to dedication encourage responsible long-term stewardship by the City, it will also reduce the burden on maintenance staff to mow and irrigate large areas. ◊ Require developments to provide a parkland and natural resource analysis to facilitate the connection and continuity of natural resource areas (streams and ditches, foodplains, wetlands, riparian areas, trees and plant species, soils) and to save existing native trees and vegetation. This is a trackable metric Case Study Boulder Public Library and Boulder Creek Pathway When the Boulder Public Library was moved to its current location along the Boulder Creek Path, improvements were made to the path, adjacent creek and a new nature playground was incorporated into the project, next to the new library site. The balance of active, children- centered uses and protection of an important creek corridor highlighted the City of Boulder’s approach to reinvestment and critical habitat protection. 891 110 natural resources strategies This is a trackable metric 4.4. Expand Nature Play and Programming. Case Study Mount Stirling Alpine Resort Interpretive Trail Victoria, Australia Merit Award 2015 A suite of interpretive elements that highlight local history and resources and presented the information on trail markers that provide visual clarity while blending into the natural environment. Sturdy cypress pine posts are laser-etched with the name of the resort and at eye level, partially encased in three- sided aluminum panels with digital prints applied ◊ Find more ways for people and children to interact with wetlands, waterways and forests. The Parks and Recreation Department should develop a metric similar to the “10-minute walk” for unstructured play areas or ”wild” spaces. The City should frame nature play as intergenerational, or as spaces that allow people of all ages to be wild. The park system as a whole should mirror the greater natural context of Bozeman and include “wild” natural plantings, outdoor recreation, and places to pause and enjoy nature for all. 4.5. Implement Low-Impact Design and Management Practices in Park and Facility Capital Projects. In May of 2022, the City Commission enacted permanent watering restrictions to curb irrigation of private lawns and landscape, which often use half of all city water in the summer months and the Parks Division followed suit. The Park Division’s participation in achieving and demonstrating water conservation strategies will make it more diffcult to irrigate parks and felds with large swaths of lawns. It also provides an opportunity for Parks and Recreation to think differently about water use and fnd creative ways to maintain the same high quality spaces while prioritizing water management needs. Best practices are needed to develop specifc design guidelines and management for wetlands, soccer felds, and other park or natural spaces to be improved for sustainability and climate metrics. 892 This is a trackable metric This is a trackable metric This is a trackable metric ◊ Create standards for effcient irrigation infrastructure. Prioritize simple irrigation systems to reduce unnecessary water waste. Install fexible irrigation systems that are easy to manage, maintain, and replace if needed. Develop an irrigation policy appropriate to the parkland setting. Irrigating planting beds and trees during the vegetation’s establishment period will greatly increase the chances of survival for the planting and the planting’s lifespan. ◊ Increase the amount of drought tolerant and native vegetation and trees in the park system. Work with the Sacajawea Audubon Society and Montana Native Plant Society and other like minded organizations to confrm and update plant selection guidance, share low water best practices with city staff, and lead workshops with community members to promote residential drought tolerant landscape. 4.6. Scale Department Capacity to Provide Knowledgeable Natural Resources Evaluation During the Planning Process for Future Facilities Investments and Management of Natural Areas. ◊ Train and hire staff in sustainable land management practices. Consider creating a park ranger program or partnering with an existing city security program to monitor appropriate park and trail use. The program could be expanded to include volunteer programs with residents interested in invasive species management, riparian corridor enhancement, or trail maintenance. It could also include best practices for management of wetlands to support better natural area maintenance and management. 111 893 Goal 5 Grow STAFF AND CAPACITY to benefit the community. To fully care for Bozeman’s parks, trails and facilities and to provide the most inclusive experiences for the community, the City needs to build internal capacity and resources internally. Today, the City is managing increased maintenance of parks alongside the management, activation, and investment in existing and new parks and facilities with a small staff. Increasing staff and City resources can elevate the quality of the City’s operations and ensure that Bozeman’s community has equitable access to high-quality spaces and programs. To start, the City needs to ensure that the capabilities and capacity of its current staff match the department’s needs. 112 894 113 895 This is a trackable metric staff + Capacity Strategies 5.1. Attract and Retain Staff to Effectively Support the Needs of Bozeman’s Parks, Programs, and Trails. The design and upkeep needs of parks and facilities and the growing variety of programs offered by the Department increasingly require a larger staff. Currently, the Department has 54 full time employees, which is far below staffng numbers of the City’s peer communities. The City needs to increase staff capacity now, while simultaneously looking to the future. As needs and offerings grow, the Department must constantly reassess and adapt its staffng to maintain effciency and meet the community expectations. ◊ Create intentional strategy to address hiring gaps directly. Work with the City’s Human Resources Department to actively and effciently recruit qualifed staff to fll open positions. Human Resources has already responded to position gaps with signing bonuses and hourly wage increases, and is positioned to do more to connect Department staffng needs to important programs, like lifeguards and aquatics. The Department will also need to be proactive about on- boarding and training new staff who need to develop the skills necessary to fll the roles they are hired for. A training program can be developed to specifcally address needed skills, and encourage staff growth through the Department. Alongside clear communication and training of roles, the Department should shed any tasks historically given to programming staff, including janitorial or administrative tasks, that are not core to the reason for their hiring. 114 896 ◊ Conduct annual staff surveys to assess job satisfaction, staff development, staffng levels, and work environment. Assign a lead investigator within the Department to summarize surveys and share high level takeaways Department-wide. The Department should incorporate those takeaways into future policies and projects to appropriate retain existing staff, and attract future staff. ◊ Provide regular training to ensure that existing staff develop the skills to perform their duties and grow within their roles. For example, if the City is accepting more watercourse setbacks as dedicated parkland, the overall maintenance is likely reduced but is much different from mowing turf grass because its management will require different types of equipment and technical skills. Staff should be hired with expertise in ecology and natural resource management and/or trained to gain that expertise. ◊ Conduct an in-depth operational assessment including a staffng plan to defne roles and responsibilities and to strategically allocate funding. five ways toimprove hiring process 1. Create and improve job descriptions 2. Communicate with applicants in multiple channels 3. Post job in many databases 4. Center training/ development as part of the job 5. Move quickly to respond to applicants and potential hires 115 897 staff + Capacity Strategies 5.2. Continue to Refne and Communicate the Bozeman Parks and Trails Special District. In May 2020, the City created the Bozeman Parks and Trails Special District. The purpose of the District is to equitably invest and manage the City’s parkland. One of the key components of the District is the transition of maintenance of parkland from Property Owners Association management to City management to City management. In order for the effective management and maintenance of these spaces, the City now levies assessments that will beneft all City-owned or managed parks and trails. As the City works to transition to this new structure, it is imperative that the City sets expectations with communities through a variety of communication methods. ◊ Develop a dashboard to share successes and communicate how resources are being allocated. The online dashboard can live on the Parks and Recreation webpage, and will include updates regarding District implementation and improvements, along with responses to frequently asked questions. Start by comparing costs and benefts of current maintenance district structure against Department desires for building out staff capacity including reduced contract reliance, increased supervision, redundancy with HOA maintenance, etc. Create a ticket system for the Community Enhancement application program and publicly track requests from community members regarding the District program. Using the seeclickfx program (a 311 app for word order requests) as a model, share what parks are included within the Maintenance District and include tags in spaces where questions have been asked and responded to. The dashboard could include a Frequently Asked Questions document that is shared with key stakeholders, including property managers, Homeowners associations, developers and residents. 116 898 “Create an online "suggestion box" for people to pin their ideas or maintenance concerns onto a platform” - Community member feedback during August pop-up event This is a trackable metric ◊ Undertake a drive time analysis to determine the time maintenance staff spends driving during a typical day. Ensure maintenance district oversight and work to limit the amount of drive time (ideally to no more than an hour daily) to increase productivity and reduce the cost of maintenance and associated expenses such as fuel. Use and communicate the highest standards of maintenance (Per NRPA’s maintenance standards), with the PRAT’s maintenance and design manual as a guide. 5.3. Develop a Philosophy and Policies for Cost Recovery and Revenue Generation. The Department does not currently have a broad-based cost- recovery plan that could be used as a guideline for setting fees and systematic resource allocation; however, there is appetite to adopt a comprehensive cost-recovery philosophy, which can provide guidance for prioritizing core program areas, setting fees and charges, identifying tax subsidy levels, and allocating resources effectively and effciently. ◊ Establish cost recovery targets. The Department’s average annual cost recovery, or the calculated percentage of aggregate costs in relation to the revenues generated from programs and services, is 34.6%. As context, the offering of an activity or delivery of a service would achieve 100% cost recovery if the fees charged generated revenue suffcient to cover all associated costs related to the operation of the program. In order to increase the percentage of cost recovery to a new target, the Department should identify a range of cost recovery targets related to individual activity and service categories. Once the range has been established, adjust fees within that service category accordingly and monitor the program or service’s cost recovery annually. 117 899 staff + Capacity Strategies ◊ Adjust fees and pricing to balance revenue generation with community accessibility. Departments typically subsidize activities for youth, teens, and seniors more than adult activities. Bozeman should also consider subsidies to programs with higher participation by low-income residents, or scholarships in programs in which affordability or willingness to pay are a barrier for low income families and other underrepresented demographics. ◊ Create pricing strategies for different audiences based on a variety of factors that take into account existing fees, affordability, and program attractiveness. The following are common pricing factors the Department should consider when developing an approach to updating fees and charges: ◊ Cost to offer the program (limited direct costs only) ◊ History of fees charged ◊ Perceived ability and willingness to pay ◊ Number of participants per class/activity ◊ Affordability for target audience ◊ Ability to attract participants ◊ Set a target for performance measures. Complete cost recovery for the costs to run programs, classes, and events should not drive decision making or changes to fee policies for programs. Instead, the City should set targets for cost recovery by age group and encourage low income households to participate using scholarships or program subsidies. In order to support these subsidies and encourage participation, the plan recommends setting the following targets: between 35% and 50% for both youth and active aging, and between 50% and 100% for adult programs. 118 900 - 119 901 120 5. how do we get there? Parks Implementation Guidance Active Transportation Implementation Guidance Design and maintenance Manual r te chapish tni902 Parks ImplementationGuidance Successful implementation of the strategies and projects identifed by the Parks, Recreation and Active Transportation Plan requires balancing and addressing community aspirations, partner and stakeholder goals, and the Department’s mission and vision. The following build on the strategies and actions identifed in the PRAT plan document and serve as frst steps the Department and the City can take to begin a successful and inclusive implementation process. The PRAT Plan is a Framework The vision, goals, strategies, and recommendations should serve as a framework for decision making. When decisions or responses to the Bozeman community are needed, the plan serves as the reference point for decision making and whether or not new issues or responses to the community are of higher importance than what’s been established as existing direction. Because the plan is an integral tool for the Department, it should also be central to employee onboarding. Track Progress: Publicly release the plan online by placing the plan on the Department’s website and on Engage.Bozeman to track plan implementation progress on these sites. The Department can share updates about recommended implementation progress. Track and share progress with interested partners and community members as well as with key decision makers. At the end of each fscal year, refect on the results of the implementation efforts to-date and include continued community engagement and progress made within each big idea. In addition to yearly reviews, the Department should comprehensively refect on accomplishments to-date and evaluate progress in equitable project completion that achieves the plan’s goals. These comprehensive reviews are an opportunity for Bozeman to refne or change strategies and recommendations to refect changing community needs and recreation trends. In these reports the Department should provide data and metrics to clearly articulate plan developments and explain project benefts in a way various audiences can understand. Identify the Plan Champion(s) Identify a primary staff person (or team) to guide various pieces of the plan’s implementation to ensure success. These staff people are responsible for monitoring progress and works with staff to effectively integrate the plan into the department. A strong candidate or team should be knowledgeable of the planning process, design and community engagement values of the recommendations made by the plan. Additional staff members should also lead specifc big ideas. These individuals can manage each recommendation within a big idea to ensure implementation is followed through and communicated with the Plan Champion, project partners, stakeholders and the broader community. 121 903 Commit to Community Goals Engage community members (residents, businesses, Department partners, and non-proft organizations) early and often during the implementation process. A knowledgeable community is the best way to secure support and ensure the project(s) suit the needs of those who will beneft from them. Equity needs to continue to be at the forefront of all conversations and engagement with underresourced communities must also be paramount to the engagement process. The following actions can be used to help get the word out and provide a continuous feedback loop with community members: Potential Plan Champions • Engage the community through maintenance and recreation program staff who interact with the community daily in conversation or through formal feedback methods. • Include a plan progress update in the Urban Parks and Forestry Board agenda to keep staff and stakeholders informed of the plan’s progress. • Guide outreach in an inclusive direction and adapt to changing community desires by using formalized policies for outreach advertising and messaging. • Use strong, clear visuals paired with data and refections on community input to frame the conversation.

Funding In order to maintain the net open land, focus cash-in- lieu program funds and other funding on acquisition. For the purposes of cash in lieu, a reasonably close proximity shall include parks that are well connected safe and enjoyable pedestrian and bicycle access to the development. Regulations The City of Bozeman enables park acquisition and improvements through the Unifed Development Code. The City should use the design manual and the current geographic distribution and gaps in parks and specifc park types to dictate what types of investments should be made in different parts of the city, either by the city on city-owned or dedicated land or by developers. The following actions are recommended. • UDC revisions are recommended that support an equitable distribution of elements, park types, and facilities, especially in communities of color, low income communities, and in places where there are gaps in safe, walking access. • Collect copies of all adopted individual park plans. • Continue to require that developers prepare individual park master plans for all newly dedicated parkland. • Revise the Unifed Development Ordinance to support more connected park spaces and Active Transportation investments. • Allocate funds in the City budget for City staff and/or consultants to prepare individual park master plans for existing parks lacking an adopted plan. • Revise and update existing park plans to refect changing community needs as identifed by this process and community feedback. Active Transportation Implementation Implementation is the primary goal of any community plan. However, there are fundamental questions that must be answered to successfully implement a comprehensive active transportation network connecting Bozeman’s parks and recreation facilities. How will new routes and segments be established? Who pays for construction? How will the routes be maintained? What criteria determine prioritization for investment? The foundation of successful implementation is built upon coordination and cooperation between the City, landowners, developers, non-proft organizations, and Bozeman’s citizens. Coordination beyond Bozeman and its city limits are also critical to ensure the plan’s active transportation efforts align with those in Gallatin County as outlined in the 2020 Triangle Trails Plan. 123 905 The implementation strategies focus on network construction and route maintenance. As emphasized throughout this plan, properly maintaining existing routes is equally important to constructing new ones. The primary implementation components for both construction and maintenance include: • Methods: Various methods need to be used to construct and maintain Bozeman’s active transportation network and associated wayfinding system. • Regulations: City regulations must efficiently guide route construction within future subdivisions, private development, public transportation projects, and specifically wayfinding elements • Policies: City procedures and policies need to align with the goals of establishing and maintaining a robust active transportation network • Standards: Clear standards for route construction and maintenance must be established and coordinated between jurisdictions and partners • Funding: Multiple sources of financing for both construction and maintenance must be identified and leveraged • Prioritization: Strategic criteria need to be utilized to establish annual and long-term priorities for route construction and maintenance network Construction Active transportation facility construction is needed throughout the community for several key reasons: extending existing routes; closing gaps in the existing network; upgrading an existing segment from one typology to another; and providing entirely new routes. This plan recommends construction projects meeting all four of these needs. Methods A variety of methods will be employed to construct new routes and segments of the active transportation network. Which method for a given construction project will be most appropriate will depend on facility type, location, responsible parties, and funding sources. Anchor Routes and Shared Use Paths Anchor Routes and shared use paths are typically, but not always, aligned with street corridors. Therefore, the most logical method for constructing new shared use paths is to incorporate them into street improvement and construction projects. These projects are usually planned and funded by the City of Bozeman or Montana Department of Transportation, but occasionally are part of large private developments. The “Path to the M” is an example of a signifcant shared use path construction project involving multiple government jurisdictions and several non-proft organizations. Connector Paths Connectors can be constructed using the widest range of methods. Often, they need to be constructed with private property owners as required by 124 906 Bozeman Unifed Development Code. Connector paths and associated wayfnding can be planned and budgeted as a part of street improvement or construction projects. Lastly, non-proft partners may also construction new connectors. Neighborhood Trails Trails are typically constructed in conjunction with private development. Therefore, they are primarily dictated by the Unifed Development Code. Regulations The City of Bozeman requires active transportation improvements through the Unifed Development Code, in sections of the code that include transportation pathways and recreation pathways. There are also design and construction standards for some active transportation facilities within the City’s public work standards. The following actions are recommended. • New development, regardless of type, should the required to construct any active transportation facility identifed in this plan. The UDC should be reviewed to ensure to this is clearly required. • Several other UDC revisions include allowing some fexibility for active transportation typologies to be located within watercourse setbacks (see pg. 100 for details) and allowing certain facility corridors to count towards a project’s parkland requirements. • The City should revise its Transportation and Engineering standards to include all of the active transportation facilities identifed in this plan and the corresponding specifcations. Policies Building the comprehensive active transportation network requires a variety of aligned policies to ensure effcient implementation. A review of existing policies should be completed to ensure they support the recommendations in this plan. The following actions are recommended. • Replace the routes proposed by the PROST Plan with those proposed in the PRAT Plan in the City GIS Community Development and Infrastructure Viewers. • For the PRAT Plan routes added to the City GIS include a data layer like the “View Additional Resources” layer currently available for existing facilities to provide basic specifcations of the proposed routes. • Continue to engage developers and educate them about the PRAT Plan routes, facility classifcations, design standards, and maintenance requirements. Ensure the PRAT Plan is readily available and directly referenced in City entitlement process materials. • Revise policies and procedures to reference the Triangle Trails Plan and the Triangle Transportation Plan. • Develop policies in conjunction with Gallatin County and the City of Belgrade to review proposed network facilities adjacent to jurisdictional boundaries and identify opportunities to partner on the construction of new routes. 125 907 • The City should include the active transportation component of the PRAT Plan within the scope of establishing a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). Funding Financing the construction of a comprehensive active transportation network will require a long-term commitment from the City and its partners. A variety of funding sources will be necessary to implement the route construction proposed in this plan. Different funding mechanisms will apply to each facility typology. Numerous State and Federal grants are available annually to assist with active transportation facility construction. These grant funds are awarded on a competitive basis and demand often exceeds allocation. While grants are not a reliable source of funding, they are worth pursuing. An overview of applicable grants is included below. The purpose of the future Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is to coordinate transportation planning. The MPO may be an option to assist with the planning, coordination, and funding for active transportation route construction. New shared use paths that align with City or State rights-of-way can be designed and constructed as streets and roads are improved or built. Therefore, the funding could come from several sources or a combination thereof including Montana Department of Transportation, City of Bozeman, private developers, and grants. Connector paths are a critical component of a complete active transportation network and can be funded similarly to, and potentially in conjunction with, shared use path projects. The following actions are recommended. • Add prioritized shared use path and connector path projects to the Parks and Trails Capital Improvements Plan and the Transportation, Engineering Capital Improvements Plan and as part of the Cash-in-Lieu program. • Allocate an annual portion of the City’s street construction budget to build shared use paths and critical connector paths • Include Bozeman’s active transportation network and plan into the scope of the future Metropolitan Planning Organization • Identify potential State and Federal grants for proposed shared use and connector path projects on an annual basis. Work with community partners where appropriate. • Coordinate with other jurisdictions and partners to secure matching funds and improve competitiveness of active transportation grant applications. Neighborhood trail construction will likely be incorporated as part of future residential and commercial development projects. These improvements will be completed by the developer as part of a private project’s required infrastructure improvements. The Gallatin Valley Land Trust (GVLT) has partnered with the City to construct numerous neighborhood trails and improve connector trails throughout the community. GVLT will continue to play an important 126 908 role in the implementation of the PRAT Plan as it relates to trails and outdoor recreation. The following actions are recommended. • Continue to ensure that UDC requirements facilitate the construction of neighborhood trails in a way that connects to the larger active transportation network. • Use Cash-in-Lieu of Parkland funds for constructing trails that are part of park and recreation facilities, create key linkages between parks or eliminate signifcant barriers within the overall Active Transportation network. • Continue to partner with GVLT to develop and maintain important neighborhood trails. State and Federal Grants Transportation Alternatives (TA) Set-Aside from the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBG) The Surface Transportation Block Grant program (STBG) provides fexible funding that may be used by States and municipalities for projects to improve the conditions and performance on any Federal-aid highway, bridge and tunnel projects on any public road, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and transit capital projects. The recent Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also known as the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law” (BIL), expanded and reformed this critical program which supports smaller biking and walking projects. The act also increased the size of the transportation alternatives funding set aside. Rebuilding American Infrastructure and Sustainability and Equity (RAISE): The RAISE program to help urban and rural communities move forward on projects that modernize roads, bridges, transit, rail, ports, and intermodal transportation and make our transportation systems safer, more accessible, more affordable, and more sustainable. Previously known as BUILD and TIGER discretionary grants, these competition awards support the development of transportation infrastructure. Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) more than doubled the funding the RAISE Program in 2022. Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) This program provides funding to improve transportation facilities that provide access to, are adjacent to, or are located within Federal lands. The Access Program supplements State and local resources for public roads, transit systems, and other transportation facilities, with an emphasis on high- use recreation sites and economic generators. Recreational Trails Program (RTP) This is a fnancial assistance program of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The RTP provides funds to the States for a variety of uses including construction of new recreational trails and acquisition of easements and fee simple title for recreational trail corridors. Utilize Community partners to increase likelihood of grant funding. Montana Trail Stewardship Program This program is administered by Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Department and can be used for the construction and maintenance of natural trails or 127 909 shared use paths. The maximum award is $75,000 and approximately $1.67 million were dispersed to over 30 projects in 2022. Utilize Community partners to increase likely hood of grant funding. This can also fund nordic ski grooming and equipment. Prioritization The PRAT Plan proposes an ambitious slate of new active transportation routes to extend and connect the network. The construction of new segments and routes will take years and considerable funding. Therefore, it is important to develop and utilize a method to prioritize the proposed improvement projects. The following actions are recommended. • Develop a methodology for prioritizing potential active transportation network projects based on the following criteria: • Importance of active transportation connection or route as outlined in the PRAT Plan • Importance to the Parks & Recreations Department facilities, operations, and objectives of the PRAT Plan • Importance to the Bozeman Area Transportation Master Plan • Importance to the Bozeman Climate Action Plan • Importance related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion goals • Opportunity to leverage partnerships and funding sources • Create, and annually revise, a rolling 5-year construction plan similar to the City’s CIP • Add larger high-priority projects into the City’s CIP Network Maintenance Maintaining active transportation routes that are safe and accessible for users of all ages and abilities is a high priority. In addition, adequate maintenance is critical to maximizing year-round utilization. The City needs to establish annual and long- term maintenance plans that includes a deferred maintenance analysis. There are three essential elements to properly maintaining an active transportation network. First, establish minimum standards for maintenance. Next, determine maintenance responsibility for each segment of the network. Lastly, identify the various sources to fnance the necessary maintenance. Methods Developing a comprehensive maintenance strategy will require considering various surface types, locations, responsible parties, and available funding. Anchor Routes and Shared Use Paths Anchor Routes and shared use paths located within street rights-of-way are typically maintained by the corresponding jurisdiction. One challenge is achieving consistent maintenance expectations and standards between the City, County, and State. 128 910 Connector Paths The maintenance of Connectors not only depends on the responsible party but also on the surface type for each route. Neighborhood Trails Despite being smaller, trails require a considerable amount of maintenance depending on location, the quality of construction, and the amount of use. Neighborhood trails are typically maintained by neighborhood associations, HOAs, the City, or GVLT. Regulations The ability of the City to regulate maintenance of active transportation routes is limited. The City should consider ways to require routes owned or managed by private parties to be maintained according to established standards. The following actions are recommended. ◊ Strengthen requirements for residential subdivisions, commercial developments, and other privately held routes to be adequately maintained according to standards adopted by the City. Policies Maintenance of active transportation routes in Bozeman is currently managed through a variety of resources, including private property owners, homeowner associations, community groups, non-proft partners, the City, and the Montana Department of Transportation. Clarifying responsibilities for maintenance and establishing standards will help ensure the fnancial investment developing a complete network is protected and enhanced in future years. The following actions are recommended. ◊ Establish a comprehensive maintenance plan that includes minimum standards for upkeep, repairs, and replacement ◊ Conduct a comprehensive deferred maintenance analysis of each route identifying the current condition, upkeep and repair needs, and sections needing to be rebuilt ◊ Establish a maintenance template for the City, property owners, and partners to develop schedule tasks and estimate costs ◊ Review and clarify how the Bozeman Parks and Trails District can support the maintenance of the network ◊ Identify priority routes for winter transportation. These routes will require regular snow removal and other maintenance to create a year-round active transportation network. Standards General maintenance standards for evaluating needs for surface care, repairs, safety precautions, and managing adjacent landscaping should be developed for and consistently applied to all network typologies. In addition to annual and long-term tasks, seasonal maintenance of shared use paths is essential to accommodating year-round active transportation. Paved paths must have the snow removed frequently during the winter and be swept of grit and debris each spring. 129 911 The following actions are recommended. ◊ Develop a comprehensive maintenance plan including detailed standards by typology that ensure a high-level of safety, accessibility, and utilization. Below are recommended routine and periodic maintenance tasks based on surface type. Paved Surfaces—Routine maintenance activities: ◊ Regular sweeping to remove debris, gravel, and other hazardous items ◊ Regular snow removal during winter months ◊ Inspect and repair pavement surface problems (seal cracks, grind down ridges, cut back tree roots, repair pavement) ◊ Prune adjacent and overhanging vegetation to reduce encroachment or cause sight distance problems ◊ Treating noxious weeds along corridor ◊ Mowing trail edges if applicable (keep vegetation height low along trail) ◊ Clearing drainage features to ensure proper function Paved Surfaces—Periodic maintenance activities: ◊ Coordinate and schedule pavement overlays as part of adjacent road maintenance ◊ Addition of surfacing material depending on condition (2-3 years) ◊ Re-grading to improve cross-slope or out- slope for improved drainage ◊ Improvement of transitions with sidewalks or streets, restripe crosswalks and other markers ◊ Repair or replace wayfnding, stop control signs and other elements ◊ Restripe crosswalks and other markers Natural Surfaces—Routine maintenance activities: ◊ Removing encroaching vegetation from trail tread (grading, chemical treatment) ◊ Prune adjacent and overhanging vegetation to reduce encroachment or cause sight distance problems ◊ Treating noxious weeds along corridor ◊ Mowing trail edges if applicable (keep vegetation height low along trail) ◊ Clearing drainage features to ensure proper function ◊ Flood or rain damage repair: silt clean up, culvert clean out, etc. ◊ Bridge/culvert inspection, clearing/repair ◊ Map/signage post condition inspection, and vandalism repair ◊ Assessing need for sign/map updates or replacement Natural Surfaces—Periodic maintenance activities: ◊ Yearly trail evaluation to determine the need for minor repairs, identifcation of erosion damage, need for improved drainage ◊ Addition of surfacing material depending on condition (2-3 years) 130 912 ◊ Re-grading to improve cross-slope or out- slope for improved drainage ◊ Improvement of transitions with sidewalks or streets, restripe crosswalks and markers ◊ Repair or replace wayfnding, stop control signs and other elements ◊ Restripe crosswalks and other markers Funding Like construction, the maintenance of Bozeman’s active transportation is funded by a variety of entities including the City, Montana Department of Transportation, non-proft partners, and private property owners. There are more maintenance needs than committed funding which leads to a backlog of repairs and overall degradation of accessibility and utilization. According to the Rails to Trail Conservancy, annual maintenance costs on average range from $1,000 to $2,000 per trail mile, depending upon the surface. Therefore, average annual funding required to maintain Bozeman’s 178 miles of paths and trails is approximately $267,000. The funding needed to adequately maintain the network will only increase as new extensions and routes are constructed. To meet this fnancial commitment, the City and its partners must proactively account for the necessary funding to execute the annual and long-term maintenance plans and aggressively commit the dollars. The following actions are recommended. ◊ Ensure that a signifcant portion of the Parks and Trails District funds are dedicated to path and trail maintenance ◊ Allocate an annual portion of the City’s street maintenance budget to repair shared use paths and paved connector paths ◊ Include Bozeman’s active transportation network and plan into the future Metropolitan Planning Organization budget Prioritization Addressing the maintenance backlog of existing active transportation network will take years and considerable funding. Therefore, it is important to develop and utilize a method to prioritize the needed upkeep and repair projects. The following actions are recommended. Develop a methodology for prioritizing potential maintenance projects based on the following criteria: • Area of deferred maintenance that poses a public safety risk • Area of deferred maintenance that restricts equitable access • Area of deferred maintenance that reduces utilization • Highly utilized routes • Ability to partner and/or leverage creative funding opportunities 131 913 Recommended UDC Revisions If the PRAT Vision – centered around fve goals - is to become a reality, several strategies will have to be codifed in Bozeman’s Municipal Code, a portion of which is referred to as the Unifed Development Code (UDC). Since a UDC overhaul is taking place at the time of this writing, this PRAT Plan cannot suggest specifc UDC language. Instead, we have consolidated UDC revision recommendations to be incorporated into the UDC at the earliest opportunity, including but not limited to strategies in the following areas: Equitable Access: ◊ Support an equitable distribution of elements, park types, and facilities, especially in communities of color, low income communities, and in places where there are gaps in safe, walking access. Programs, Places and Partnerships: ◊ Prioritize the collocation of parks with areas of natural resource value in Department investments and throughout the subdivision and site plan review process. Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities: ◊ Consider requirements for new developments to infll the active transportation system as is currently required for roads. ◊ Make adjustments to the watercourse setback requirements to allow all trail types, on a limited basis. ◊ Allow certain active transportation elements to count towards a new development project’s parkland requirements. Natural Resources: ◊ Allow natural areas deemed to have high natural resource value to count towards a new development project’s parkland requirements. ◊ Require qualifed staff to conduct a site inspection early in the planning stage (Conceptual or Pre-app stage) to identify opportunities for natural resource preservation and protection. ◊ Strengthen the General Standard for protecting the Natural Environment in proposed new developments (currently BMC 38.410.010) ◊ Strengthen the community tree ordinance ( BMC 16.05.330) to increase the number of trees entering into the public domain. In 2024, the implementation of the PRAT Plan in the UDC should be prioritized and it should be reviewed periodically to ensure 1) the above are being consistently applied in the Planning Review process and 2) the above continue to support the vision of the PRAT Plan. 132 914 Looking Forward The PRAT plan sets forth an ambitious vision and series of goals for the growth of the system that are driven by community voices. These goals are the product of rigorous community conversations, multiple surveys, in-depth analysis by subject matter experts, and stakeholder visioning. Going forward, the City should use the plan as a tool to assist in decision making as it relates to investment strategies and resource allocation to ensure barriers to participation are removed and create a more equitable system. Finally, the PRAT plan should serve as a unifying document that helps align the needs of the community with the priorities and actions of the City in order to continue to grow an inclusive, loved, and connected park system. Amendments to the Parks, Recreation, and Active Transportation Plan The PRAT Plan should be reviewed and revised as needed every 5 years. Because the PRAT Plan is coordinated with the growth policy, Bozeman Strategic Plan and other city documents, the City’s growth policy, and in light of the time and effort invested in the preparation of this plan, staff should follow the procedures for growth policy amendments and other relevant state laws for revisions. Amendments to Individual Park Master Plans Since adoption of the PROST in 2007, there has been a goal to update park master plans for existing individual parks within the system. With the adoption of the PRAT, this effort should be undertaken on a neighborhood or other sub-area level to forecast improvement needs for the Department, partners and new developments to implement the recommendations in the PRAT and changing community needs. The individual park master plans should be conceptual in nature and will be used to: ◊ implement new design guidelines as identifed in the PRAT Design Manual for the individual park type ◊ analyze site-specifc potential and existing conditions ◊ forecast what types of improvements are needed in individual parks to improve the balance of offerings across all neighborhoods and to eliminate access barriers. ◊ target appropriate grant funds and partners. Using neighborhood-level or other subareas, such as Urban Renewal Districts, as the boundary for these amendments, this type of assessment will not only guide investments in existing parks, it will illustrate needs that parks in new developments can meet. Parks and Recreation staff should work with the Urban Parks and Forestry Board and the City’s Communications and Engagement staff to design appropriate community engagement for the scale and scope of these amendments. Cash-in-lieu of Parkland (CILP) funding can be used for design efforts that result in capital improvements and would be an appropriate source of funding for Park Master Plan Amendments because it would set up future CILP and Improvements-in-Lieu of Parkland (IILP) investments. 133 915 134 top 10 priorities for investment Natural surface trails Aquatics or Swimming On-road bike lanes or facilities Arts and Culture Winter Recreation Pools, indoor Fitness Pools, outdoor Trails, paved Etiquette programs for parks and trail users Nature centers Outdoor adventure Community gardens History recreation facilities Water access for recreation Outdoor education Spraygrounds/splash pad Seniors/Active Aging programs Pavilions and picnic areas Special Events 916 top 10 policy recommendations 1. The Parks and Recreation Department should center equity in all department decisions; strive to provide universal access to parks and programs; and provide a consistent set of basic elements across neighborhoods. 2. The Parks and Recreation Department should explore alternative funding methods to leverage existing City funding for future facility improvements and program development; alternative methods may include, but are not limited to philanthropic sources and grants. 3. The Parks and Recreation Department should develop sub-area plans to evaluate existing city parkland facilities and their recreational opportunities and to engage neighborhoods in planning for growth and infll development; sub-area plans should guide future city parkland acquisition, facility improvements, and active transportation route planning. 4. The Parks and Recreation Department should contribute to and invest in the community’s city-wide active transportation network. 5. The Parks and Recreation Department should establish a formal process for partnering with affliate groups, advocacy groups, and non-proft partners; institute policies and guidelines for partnering with non-city organizations; and promote continued collaboration with existing organizations and grow new partner relationships. 6. The Parks Division should maintain the current level of parkland per resident by continuing to acquire parkland through the development review process, working with partner organizations, private donors, and through policies to enable strategic acquisitions. 7. The Parks Division should promote the sustainable use of natural resources within city parkland areas; identify, acquire, protect, manage and enhance key intact, contiguous sensitive land areas; and adopt comprehensive design standards and specifcations that encourage natural resource protection, enhancement, and sustainable and resilient park designs and increase the amount of drought tolerant and native vegetation and trees in the park system. 8. The Recreation Division should explore the expansion of existing and addition of new program offerings to provide year-round recreational opportunities for all residents; create new program offerings and elements that respond to identifed community needs; and increase safe evening and night time access at designated facilities. 9. The Parks and Recreation Department should advocate for programmatic and regulatory revisions and develop a philosophy and policies for cost recovery and revenue generation. 10.The Parks and Recreation Department should develop a dashboard to routinely share successes and communicate with the public how resources are being allocated. 135 917 Memorandum REPORT TO:City Commission FROM:Community Development SUBJECT:Resolution 5517 Updating City Building Permit Fees MEETING DATE:September 12, 2023 AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Resolution RECOMMENDATION:I move to approve Resolution 5517 updating the fee schedule for building division fees with an effective date of October 7, 2023. STRATEGIC PLAN:7.5. Funding and Delivery of City Services: Use equitable and sustainable sources of funding for appropriate City services, and deliver them in a lean and efficient manner. BACKGROUND:Community Development’s Building Division offers scores of different permits and services that correspond to the great variety of new construction, renovation, and improvements that occur in Bozeman. State administrative rules (ARM 24.301.203) allow local building departments to charge fees for permits, which aids cost recovery. Building fees were last updated in 2005, nearly twenty years ago. In the intervening years, several conditions have changed that warrant updating fees, including new processes and procedures, inflationary costs, and building staff costs. This Resolution 5517 updates the Building Division fee table, consistent with City Commission Resolution 5287 (April 2021) and Ordinance 2143 (August 2023) which amended building fee provisions included in Sec. 10.02.020 of the Bozeman Municipal Code. The proposed fee table: retains categories and core fee types (e.g., valuation-based), adds new permit types (e.g., Foundation only), raises the majority of fees from 2005 levels, incorporates the ICC valuation tables (per Resolution 5287), includes a three-year escalation scale for new square footage fees, and notes a convenience fee of up to 3% for credit card payments. UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None. ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the City Commission. 918 FISCAL EFFECTS:Resolution 5517 will increase building division fees paid by applicants. Revenue results will vary based on application volume.
