"Hey, thanks for following up. You
know, part of the decision had to do
with our rent going up downtown. I
realize there are lots of benefits to
being in the DBA, but we weren’t
really utilizing them so the dues didn’t
feel worthwhile to me. That’s not a
knock against the organization, I’m
just not currently equipped to activate
all of the benefits of being a member.

1.1. PURPOSE
This document was prepared to provide design engineers, architects, developers, contractors, or

Standards Area as shown in Figure 1. This includes boulevard standards, pedestrian facility design,
trees, and other amenities located in public rights-of-way.
This document is adopted as a supplement to the City of Bozeman Design and Construction
Standards. Streetscape requirements differ based on location and jurisdiction. Therefore, the
Downtown Standards Area has been further divided into four Sub-Areas, and the application of
the standards is further described in this document. Figure 1 shows the overall Downtown

revenue from annual membership dues and event proceeds.
Annual DBA special events include the Christmas Stroll, Restaurant Week, Crazy Days, the

1.2.2 Downtown Bozeman Business Improvement District
The downtown Bozeman Business Improvement District (BID) is an organization of

lighting, graffiti removal, and year-round maintenance employees.
