Memorandum
REPORT TO:Transportation Board
FROM:Nicholas Ross, Director of Transportation and Engineering
SUBJECT:Babcock: 15th to 19th Work Session
MEETING DATE:December 5, 2024
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Citizen Advisory Board/Commission
RECOMMENDATION:Babcock: 15th to 19th Work Session
STRATEGIC PLAN:1.1 Outreach: Continue to strengthen and innovate in how we deliver
information to the community and our partners.
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.
