Then a winter stop was planned for mid-Dec. but has progressed due to good weather. • We have begun the process to formally adopt (possibly renew) an SILD (Special Improvement Lighting District) in downtown. This is long overdue and has become very costly and unmanageable. • Downtown Parking Update: o A Parking Vision document with focus on short- and long-term solutions is currently moving forward. Next steps include “Audience Insights” which wasn’t originally part of the scope but after lengthy discussions with city staff and stakeholders, we felt this was the best first step and will get us some of the data we feel like we are missing or is unavailable from past parking management efforts. This will include 3rd party surveys, one-on-one interviews and extensive outreach to “users.” More to come. o An RFP for a PPP for Downtown Parking Infrastructure is in progress utilizing the Five Million in DURD funding for parking infrastructure has been approved for FY26. A local legal team with civic has compiled a preliminary draft that has been shared with a DURD board member committee for review before bringing back to the DURD board for final review and approval before public announcement though the city RFP process. Upcoming City of Bozeman Public Meetings Calendar: https://www.bozeman.net/departments/city- commission/advisory-boards/calendar • Notable Engage Bozeman projects/updates: o On Tuesday, Dec. 16, the City Commission voted to adopt the updated Unified Development Code. The vote repealed and replaced the entirety of Chapter 38 in the municipal code, as well as the associated zoning map. The changes will become effective on Feb. 1, 2026. You can view the final code documents and zoning map on Engage Bozeman. 5 o In late November, the City released an RFP for a Bozeman Creek massing document to help inform a program for future updates and enhancements to the creek. A review committee made up of #SeeBozemanCreek members, City administration, and local representatives evaluated multiple submissions from firms across the country. The contractor has been selected, and once the scope of work is finalized, the City anticipates executing a contract. Additional updates will be shared as the project moves forward. More info HERE.
