----------------------------------------------------------------
1. TITLE PAGE -- Change title of document

in which the UPDATE will be adopted I i. e. I
1993.
2. TITLE PAGE -- Change "Prepared
for" block to read "Bozeman
City-County Planning Board" (since the contract
for
prepa~ation of the UPDATE was with the Board).
3. PAGE 1-21 Section 1.3 Transportation Goals and Objectives --
Change the last sentence of the introductory
paragraph to
read:
"The primary goals and objectives
for the transportation
system and associated implementation
strategies were set
forth in the 1990 BOZEMAN AREA MASTER PLAN UPDATE.
In May
of 19911 the Planning Board
further refined and expanded
upon the
adopted set of goalsl
objectivesl and
implementation strategies
for inclusion in
this
transportation plan update. They
are as follows:"

-- An additional "other study"
should be listed: "University Parking Plan Update (1991)"
5. PAGE 5-11 CHAPTER 5: DOWNTOWN PARKING ANALYSIS
-- Include
"Draft Chapter 5" as presented by the consultant.
6. PAGE 6-51 Section 6.4
Truck Route System -- Change the
narrative found at the bottom of page 6-5 to read as follows
(and make appropriate modifications to Figure 6-2 as well):
"There is no designated truck route system
in the greater
Bozeman area at this time.
As a resultl commercial trucks
tend to use a wide variety
of routes through town. The
Bozeman community has expressed
a desire to limit truck
traffic on residential streets
and on Main Street through
downtown. This issue was mentioned throughout
the scoping

"REGIONAL. THROUGH TRUCK ROUTE ALTERNATIVES
"In developing a strategy to address the issue of REGIONAL,
THROUGH TRUCK TRAFFIC 1n
the downtown area, several
alternatives were considered. These included:
~
A. Designation of a temporary truck by-pass route around
and through the northeast
neighborhoods, utilizing
Broadway Avenue and Peach Street;
B. Utilization of Kagy Boulevard and Bozeman Trail Roads
as a potential permanent truck by-pass;
C. Designation of the proposed "Northeast Arterial Loop" /
Oak Street connection as a potential
truck route on
future roads; and
D. Utilization of North 7th Avenue /
Main Street, and
North 19th Avenue / Main Street (when constructed) as
potential truck by-pass routes.
"Each of these alternatives posed unique problems.
Using
Broadway Avenue and Peach Street, even on a temporary basis,
would result in unacceptable volumes of truck traffic going
through an established residential
neighborhood. Kagy
Boulevard and Bozeman Trail Road would direct a large volume
of truck traffic through University
property and past
established residential neighborhoods. Utilization
of the
"Northeast Arterial Loop" could
not occur until a very
expensive and difficult road
construction project is
completed, and would closely parallel Interstate 90 for much
of its length, And the intersections
of both North 7th
Avenue and Main Street and North 18th Avenue and Main Street
are not suitable for handling major volumes of trucks making
left and right hand turns.
"In addition, data generated in the
Fall of 1892 by civil
engineering students in the CE 454 class
at MSU indicates
that truck travel times between Four Corners and the
East
Interchange are virtually identical whether travelling via
Main Street or Jackrabbit Lane / Interstate 90. This is in
spite of the fact that the Jackrabbit Lane / 1-90 route
is
approximately nine miles longer than the Main Street route.
The Jackrabbit Lane route is also considered
safer due to
fewer intersections and less traffic, and puts less wear
and
tear on vehicles because of fewer starts and stops.
"These findings lead to the conclusion that utilization of
Interstate 90 and Jackrabbit Lane as the through truck by-
pass route around Bozeman is the
logical solution to the
long-standing problem of regional through truck traffic on
Main Street through downtown. However,
it is recognized

through truck routes, while discouraging to the maximum
extent possible ~uch truck traffic on Main Street
and
Huffine Lane.
e. Continuing to allow regional, through truck traffic to
utilize Main Street / Huffine Lane until items a.,
b. , "
and d. above are accomplished.
"The Bozeman Citv-Countv Plannin~ Office. workinif with
the
TransDortation Coordinatin~ Committee. shall be
~enerally
resDonsible for carrvinit out
the Re~ional Truck Route
strateities outlined above."
7. PAGE 6-8, Section 6.5 Recommended TSM Improvements -- Add a
third paragraph to this narrative section, as follows:
"Although recommended TSM improvements are for the most part
not prioritized, some are considerably more critical to the
successful implementation of the PLAN UPDATE
than others.
As such, particular effort should
be made to complete the
following recommended TSM's in
as timely a fashion as
possible:
NW7 -- North 20th Avenue closure on south side of West
Beall Street (to provide a Dermanent solution to cut-
throu~h traffic problems on North 20th)
NE2 -- Intersection improvements at North Rouse Avenue
an-d Peach Street (to
facilitate increased usage of
Rouse by trucks, pedestrians, and bicyclists)
NE3 -- Through truck
traffic restrictions on
residential streets in Northeast
neighborhood (to
address immediate traffic safety concerns of residents
in the area)
NE4 -- Designation of Tamarack Street between North 7th
and Rouse as a local truck route (to encourage
trucks
to utilize this route to gain access to the Northeast
industrial areas)
NE8 -- Signalization of the Tamarack Street / North 7th
Avenue intersection (to facilitate increased volumes of
truck traffic)
NWl -- Intersection improvements at North
7th Avenue
and West Main Street
(to generally improve traffic
flows in this area)
NW9 -- Signalization of North 7th Avenue
and Griffin
Drive (to address long-standing
safety and delay
problems)

should be considered
for
installation in an effort to
address traffic concerns of
area residents. Consideration
of this alternative should
onlv occur after the
imolementation of a neilthborhood
parkin~ district in the area. and after an assessment of hQ~

patterns "
"It is also recommended that Cleveland
Street be closed
through the MSU campus between South 8th and South 11th, and
that pedestrian signage and crossings be considered for
implementation on both legs of the intersection of South 8th
and Cleveland."
SW16 -- Modify prepesed-ftetlrs--ef-e}estlre--te-betweeH--8~a8

e}eStlre7 to read as follows:
"Consider an administrative
closure of South 11th between Cleveland and Grant upon the
completion of Ka@:v Boulevard to
19th Ave (to an interim
standard) . and upon
implementation of the
proposed
neilthborhood Darkinlt district northeast of campus. Analvsis
of probable effects on traffic
patterns and circulation
should be comoleted prior to any such administrative closure
to assure that local streets
in the area would
not be
required to carry
additiona.l traffic loads.
An
administrative closure
of South 11th
should also ~
contingent on a review of past ordina.nces
and resolutions
pertai~inlt to other street closures through camous. and only
after necessa.rv mod~fications. if any. are made theretQ.
SE3 -- Delete this TSM as written (School District practice
which created the need for this recommendation has ceased);
replace with a recommendation
to eliminate parking and
establish bike lanes between 3rd and Rouse
Avenues on the
south side of Mendenhall
Street and the north side
of
Babcock Street. when replacement of lost off-street oarkinlt
spaces (aporoxima.telv 104 in total) is 9rovided in alternate
locations. Develop "problem
statement" lan.E!:ualte. cost
estimates. and sources of fundinlt accordinS:ly.
SE4 -- Modify to allow for use of 6-foot
wide "bulbs" on
both sides of street. rather than specifvin.E!: 10-foot bulb Qn
north side. Also. make orovision for same
installa.tion at
intersection of Babcock and Bozeman.
SE5 -- Modify to make implementation of this TSM contingent
on: 1) completion of SE6 modifications
to Rouse Avenue
between Mendenhall and Babcock; and 2) completion
of SE21
modifications to South Wallace between
Babcock and Main
Streets.
