BACKGROUND:The reconstruction of West Babcock Street from 15th Avenue to 19th Avenue is identified as project number SIF118 most recently in the FY25-29 Capital Improvement Plan authorized in the 2025 Biennium Budget. Morrison Maierle has been selected and retained to complete the design of project. This section of road has missing pedestrian facilities, an aging asphalt surface, limited intersection capacity, and missing stormwater infrastructure. A wide range of existing commercial and residential uses as well as increasing demand for new development in the area has created a need for improvements in capacity, pedestrian facilities, stormwater improvements, and parking. This project is proposed to install sidewalks for safe movement of pedestrian along the corridor. It will also add a turning lane and intersection improvements at the Babcock Street and 19th Avenue intersection to increase the capacity of traffic through the project. Stormwater improvements will include curb and gutter, conveyance systems, and treatment. City staff initially proposed two potential street sections, the standard 3-lane collector section and an alternate section that removed on-street bike lanes replacing them with on-street parking and an off-street shared use path. An open house meeting was held on October 17th to present these two street sections and engage the public for their concerns with each section. Attendees were asked to complete a survey gauging their importance of a few key outcomes for the design of the street section. This survey was also mailed to landowners adjacent to the project and it was posted on the Engage Bozeman page. 9 responses were received from those attending the open house and from the mailers to landowners. An additional 19 responses were received from the online survey. A simple survey asking which section 10 was preferable was also posted on the Engage Bozeman page which received 89 responses. Responses preferred the shared use path typical section as we frequently see from public engagement, however, responses were mixed and impact of tree removal also expressed as a heavy concerns. Loss of additional trees required by a shared use path as well as lack of right of way for future path extension into the downtown core has led staff to recommend the on-street bike lane option. The project is nearing completion of the predesign phase and decisions need to be made in order for the project to continue on to the preliminary and final design phases: Typical Section: The Transportation Plan called for completion of a 3-lane urban collector for this section of roadway. The land adjacent to this section of road is largely built out including business accesses and parking areas, an overhead power line that runs the entire length along the south side of the project, and many existing trees that all conflict with the proposed standard section. Based off feedback received form the engagement efforts, an alternative to the standard section is desired. Staff recommends the proposed typical section should include the removal of the center turn lane (outside of the dedicated turn bay at the 19th intersection signal), the addition of on-street parking, and inclusion of on-street bike lanes. The Board is asked to review the project's Engage Bozeman page as well as the FY25-29 Capital Improvement Plan prior to this meeting. UNRESOLVED ISSUES:Concurrence with the recommended section – removal of the center turn lane, one driving lane in each direction, on-street bike lanes, on-street parking, boulevards, and sidewalks. ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the Board. FISCAL EFFECTS:The project is currently funded in the CIP (SIF118) with a total budget of $4,565,500. This includes engineering, right of way acquisition, and construction.
