BOZEMAN CITY COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2926 (JULY 19_ 1993)
GALLATIN COUNTY COMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 93-20 (JULY 13_ 1993)
TCC RESOLUTION NO. T-9301 (MAY 12_ 1993)
CONSISTING OF REQUIRED CHANGES TO THE
BOZEMAN URBAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN 1991 UPDATE DRAFT REPORT
Based On A Recommendation From
The Bozeman City-County Planning Board
Contained In Board Resolution No. P-9301
(Adopted January 12, 1993)
-----~~-----------------------------------~----------------------
The following changes need to be incorporated into
the final
BOZEMAN URBAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE prior to publication and
implementation:
1. TITLE PAGE -- Change title of document to reflect the year
in which the UPDATE will be adopted, i . e . , 1993.
2. TITLE PAGE -- Change "Prepared for" block to read "Bozeman
City-County Planning Board" (since the
contract for
preparation of the UPDATE was with the Board) ;
reference
adoption by Resolution of City of Bozeman, Gallatin County,
and Transportation Coordinating Committee as listed above.
3. PAGE 1-2, 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 1991, the Planning Board further refined
and expanded
upon the adopted set of
goals, objectives, and
implementation strategies for inclusion
in this
transportation plan update. They are. as follows:"
4. PAGE 1-8, Other Studies -- An add it ional "other'
study"
should be listed: "University Parking Plan Update (1991)"
5. PAGE 5-1, CHAPTER 5: DOWNTOWN PARKING ANALYSIS -- Include
"Draft Chapter 5" as presented by the consultant.
6. PAGE 6-5, 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 result,
commercial trucks
1
'. ----------
....-..--"...------.
-----
.
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
process and was identified as an issue
in the 1981
Transportation Plan.
"Truck count data, field observations, and public testimony
indicate that there are two types of truck traffic which
need to be dealt with as part of the transportation planning
process. The first is "LOCAL TRUCK TRAFFIC,"
meaning those
trucks whose trips originate or terminate within the urban
planning area, or whose trips include making
pick-ups or
deliveries (including fuel stops or driver changes) within
the area while en route to other destinations.
"The second type of truck traffic is "REGIONAL,
THROUGH
TRUCK TRAFFIC," meaning truck trips which do not originate
or terminate within the urban planning area, and
which do
not make pick-ups or deliveries within the area.
"LOCAL TRUCK TRAFFIC can impact community facilities and
neighborhoods by utilizing residential streets while getting
from one point within the urban area to another. REGIONAL,
THROUGH TRUCK TRAFFIC can impact traffic flows, air quality,
and noise levels in Bozeman's downtown core by
utilizing
Main Street to make connections between Four Corners and the
East Interchange.
"LOCAL TRUCK ROUTES
"Figure 6-2 depicts recommended local truck routes
for
trucks whose trips originate or terminate in
the Bozeman
Urban Area, or whose trips involve pick-ups
or deliveries
(including fuel stops or driver changes) in
the area.
Consideration should be given to signing these
streets as
"LOCAL TRUCK ROUTES." These designated streets
are: Main
Street and its associated one-way couplets (Mendenhall and
Babcock Streets); North 7th Avenue / U.S. Highway 10; North
19th Avenue (existing portion); Durston Street; South
19th
Avenue; North Rouse Avenue / Bridger Canyon Drive; Griffin
Drive; Tamarack Street; and Kagy Boulevard.
In addition,
Oak Street and (future sections of) North 19th should be
designated as local truck routes on future roads.
"The following streets and roads should be signed for "NO
THROUGH TRUCK TRAFFIC -- Local pick-ups and
deliveries
only: " North Broadway Avenue, North Wallace
Avenue, and
North Church Avenue between Mendenhall and Peach Streets.
"Designation of two additional streets for no through truck
traffic, 1. e. , South Willson Avenue between Babcock and Kagy
2
~
and South Church Avenue between Main and Kagy, should be
implemented when recommended improvements to
Highland
Boulevard between M~in Street and Kagy Boulevard, including
signalization of the Highland / Main intersection,
are
completed.
"REGIONAL. THROUGH TRUCK ROUTE ALTERNATIVES
"In developing a strategy to address the issue of REGIONAL,
THROUGH TRUCK TRAFFIC in 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 the Montana State University campus
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 19th 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 1992
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.
3
. .
"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
that the existing interchange at 1-90 and Jackrabbit Lane
is
not suitable for handling an
increased volume of truck
traffic at this time. Also, the community of Belgrade has
not been involved in discussions regarding the potential use
of their interchange as part of a Bozeman truck by-pass.
"Plans for the reconstruction of the
1-90 interchange at
Jackrabbit Lane should result in the
facility being better-
suited to handle an increased volume of
truck traffic.
Strategies would need to be developed and
implemented in
conjunction with residents of Belgrade
to assure that
increased truck traffic on the reconstructed
interchange
would not impact their quality of life or compromise
safety
in any way.
"With these thoughts in mind, a long range strategic plan to
reduce the number of regional, through trucks on Main Street
through downtown Bozeman is hereby established to include:
a. Taking the appropriate and necessary steps
to get Main
Street / Huffine Lane removed
from the "National
Network," so that further negotiations may
occur to
designate 1-90 and Jackrabbit Lane
as the regional,
through truck route. These actions should be:
1) contingent on Bozeman and Gallatin County reaching
agreement with the MDT regarding the
completion of the
"Bozeman-to-Four Corners" project
and future
maintenance of Main Street; and
2) timed such that removal
from the National Network
becomes effective only when the
1-90 Jackrabbit Lane
interchange is reconstructed to a standard
suitable for
hand ling increased volumes of truck traffic;
b. Working with the community of Belgrade
and the Montana
Department of Transportation to assure that
any and all
concerns pertaining to increased truck traffic
at the
1-90 / Jackrabbit Lane interchange are fully addressed,
to assure no decrease in quality of
life in that
community and no compromise of safety,
c. Engaging in a comprehensive program
of communication
and education with the Montana
Motor Transport
Association and other appropriate groups to
make them
aware of study results comparing travel time,
safety,
and equipment wear, in an effort to encourage voluntary
4

;
usage of Jackrabbit Lane rather than Huffine
Lane /
Main Street.
d. Developing and implementing a signage
program
designating 1-90 and Jackrabbit Lane as the
regional,
through truck routes, while discouraging to the maximum
extent possible such 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 City-County Planning Office, working with the
Transportation Coordinating Committee, shall be generally
responsible for carrying out
the Regional Truck Route
strategies 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 permanent solution
to cut-
through traffic problems on North 20th)
NE2 -- Intersection improvements at North Rouse Avenue
and 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)
NEB -- 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
5

;
flows in this area)
NW9 -- Signalization of North 7th Avenue and Griffin
Drive (to address long-standing safety
and delay
problems)
NW10 -- Signalization of North 7th Avenue and Westbound
1-90 ramps (to address long-standing safety and delay
problems; and to improve attractiveness of using North
7th exit rather than the east interchange
for truck
traffic)
SE25 -- South Willson Avenue pedestrian bulbs and lane
striping (to address immediate pedestrian and bicycle
safety concerns)
SE27 -- Highland Boulevard bicycle and pedestrian path
(to address immediate pedestrian and bicycle safety
concerns)
SE4 -- Installation of pedestrian bulbs on Babcock at
Black, Tracy, and Bozeman Avenues (to address immediate
pedestrian safety concerns)
NE7 -- Installation of pedestrian bulbs at intersection
of Willson and Mendenhall (to
address immediate
pedestrian safety concerns)"
8. RECOMMENDED TSM IMPROVEMENTS -- The following modifications
should be made to the recommended TSM's as they appear in
Table 6-1 (pp. 6-9 through 6-14), Table 9-1 (pp. 9-3,
9-4 ),
Appendix 1 (pp. A-1 - A-22), and Figure 6-3.
SW8 -- Modify to read as follows:
"Provide for the
installation of engineered "traffic circles"
at the
intersections of 6th Avenue with Koch and Story Streets,
upon a finding and determination by the City Commission that
the installation of such facilities would be in the public
interest (see SYSTEM-WIDE TSM PROJECT S6).
SW14 -- Modify to read as follows: "Designate South 6th
Avenue (Grant to Cleveland) and Cleveland (6th to 8th) as an
east route through and around campus. Continue to prohibit
parking on the west side of this section of South 8th Avenue
on a 24-hour basis; prohibit parking on the
east side of
this section of South 6th between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5
p.m. Stripe bike lanes along both sides of this route.
"A partial closure of South Sixth Avenue just north of its
intersection with Cleveland, consisting of
a curbed
landscape extension placed perpendicular
across the
northbound travel 1 an e , should be considered
for

installation in an effort to address traffic
concerns of
area residents. Consideration of this alternative
should
only occur after the implementation of
a neighborhood
parking district in the area, and after an assessment of how
the parking district affects traffic and
circulation
patterns. ..
"It is also recommended that Cleveland Street be
closed
through the MSU campus between South 8th and South
11th,
should the administrative closure of South
11th between
Cleveland and Grant ever be effectuated as described in TSM
SW16 below, and that pedestrian signage and
crossings be
considered for implementation on
both legs of the
intersection of South 8th and Cleveland."
SW16 -- Modify to read as
follows: "Consider an,
administrative closure of South 11th between Cleveland and
Grant upon the completion of Kagy Boulevard to 19th Ave (to
an interim standard) , and upon implementation
of the
proposed neighborhood parking district northeast of campus.
Analysis of probable effects on traffic
patterns and
circulation should be completed
prior to any such
administrative closure to assure that local streets in the
area would not be required to carry significant additional
traffic load s . An administrative closure
of South 11th
should also be contingent on a review of past ordinances and
resolutions pertaining to other street closures
through
campus, and only after necessary modifications, if any, are
made thereto.
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
Menden hall Street and Babcock Street in accordance
with
AASHTO standards, when replacement of lost on-street parking
spaces is provided in alternate locations. Develop
"problem
statement" language, cost estimates, and sources of funding
accordingly.
SE4 -- Modify to allow for use of 6-foot wide "bulbs"
on
both sides of street, rather than specifying 10-foot bulb on
north side. Also, make provision for same
installation at
intersection of Babcock and Bozeman.
SE5 -- Modify to make implementation of this T5M 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.
SE14 -- Modify by deleting first sentence of recommendation;
7
replace with statement regarding use of signage as a means
of making the motorist aware of problem. Leave
second
sentence as is, regarding parking restrictions on west side
of Willson. Revise cost estimates accordingly.
SE18 -- Modify to read as follows:
"Provide for the
installation of engineered "traffic circles"
at the
intersections of Alderson Street with South 4th and South
5th Avenues, upon a finding and determination by the
City
Commission that the installation of such facilities would be
in the public interest (see "SYSTEM-WIDE TSM PROJECT S6).
SE2l -- Modify to call for two north-bound lanes and one
south-bound lane for this section of South Wallace.
SE25 -- Add a new TSM calling for
the construction of
pedestrian "bulbs" at the intersections
of South Willson
Avenue with Garfield, College and
Dickerson Streets
immediately, and at other selected Willson
intersections as
deemed necessary by the Commission
in the long run.
Installation of bike lanes in accordance
with AASHTO
standards will be considered at a future
date. Develop
" problem statement" language, cost estimates, and sources of
funding accordingly.
SE26 -- Add a new TSM calling for
the signing of South
Church Avenue between Main Street and Kagy Boulevard,
and
South Willson Avenue between Babcock
Street and Kagy
Boulevard, for "NO THROUGH TRUCKS --Local
Pick-Up and
Delivery Only." Develop "problem statement" language,
cost
estimates, and sources of funding accordingly. Specify that
this TSM should only be implemented
when recommended
improvements to Highland Boulevard between Main Street and
Kagy Boulevard, including signalization of the Highland and
Main intersection, are completed.
SE27 -- Add a new TSM calling for the construction of an
all-weather separated bicycle path and pedestrian walkway in
the Highland Boulevard right-of-way (west side) between Kagy

8
;
North Rouse as the local north-south truck route.
NE4 -- Modify to reference the designated
portion of
Tamarack as a "locaL" truck route.
NE 7 -- Modify to include a problem statement regarding
pedestrian safety at the intersection of Mendenhall
and
North Willson, and a recommendation for the installation of
pedestrian bulbs at said location. Develop cost estimates
and provide possible funding sources.
NE13 -- Add a new recommended TSM as follows: "NE13 - Front
Street From Rouse Avenue to McAdow Street.
Problem:
Existing right-of-way is undeveloped
and therefore
underutilized as a prospective solution the problem of truck
access to businesses in the northeast area. Recommendation:
Construct this portion of Front Street to an
interim, two
lane paved street standard, with design considerations for
future expansion for service as part of the
Northeast
Arterial Loop.
(Develop cost estimates and list sources
of funding
accordingly.)
NW1 -- Modify to include acquisition of additional right-of-
way at the northwest corner of the intersection,
to better
facilitate truck turning maneuvers.
NW5 -- Modify to recognize presence of stop signs recently
installed at this intersection (8th and Lamme); recommend 4-
way stop if warrants are met.
8. RECOMMENDED MAJOR NETWORK IMPROVEMENTS --
The priority

11. SYSTEM-WIDE TSM PROJECTS -- The following
modifications
should be made to the System-Wide TSM Projects appearing on
pages A-21 and A-22:
53, S4 -- Modify to eliminate City-County Planning Board as
possible source of funding.
S5 -- Modify recommendation to include truck route signing
directed at west-bound truck traffic on I-SO east of
the
East Interchange as well.
Add a new TSM as follows:
"56 - Neighborhood Traffic Circles.
Problem: In many areas of the City,
local residential
streets are used by the motoring public as a means to get
across or through sections of town,
instead of using
elements of the Major Street Network. While all
of the
recommendations contained in this PLAN are designed to make
it more attractive for the public to use the Major Street
Network rather than local streets, there will continue to be
situations where local streets are used inappropriately
as
collectors or even minor arterials. This situation
can
result in deterioration of quality of
life in affected
neighborhoods through increased safety hazards 1
noise, and
air pollution.
Recommendation: If deemed lawful by the City Attorney,
the
City Commission shall establish policies and
procedures
whereby a two-thirds majority of owners of property on the
street faces immediately adjacent
to a particular
intersection of local streets may petition the
Commission
for the installation of engineered traffic circles at said
intersections. The procedures and policies
adopted to
implement this recommendation shall provide for a public
hearing on each such proposal, a requirement
for the
10
.
.
.
Commission to produce a determination and
written finding
that the public interest would be served by such
an action,
and provisions for the installation of such facilities
to be
completed on a tempo_rary or trial basis prior to
permanent
approval. The procedures and policies shall
also provide
for the fair and equitable assessment
of costs of
installation and maintenance of such facilities against
the
owners of property on the street faces immediately
adjacent
to the particular intersection, unless such properties li
e
within the City's designated CDBG Housing
and Section 8
Rental Rehab Target Areas, in which
case the City may
install the facility without assessing costs
to affected
property owners.
Minimum engineering standards for traffic circles
shall be
developed and adhered to when considering
requests for the
installation of such facilities, to
ensure that motor
vehicles can continue to move safely through the particular
intersections. Where necessary, additional right-of-way may
need to be acquired, and/or additional street
improvements
installed (such as curbing) to accommodate the
installation
of a traffic circle. The costs of
these items shall be
included in any traffic circle assessment described
above. "
57 -- Add a new system-wide TSM to call for
the completion
of a long-range Public Transit Development Plan identifying
problems and opportunities with individual transit
services,
exploring consolidation
possibilities, and posing
alternatives for transit in Bozeman.
Develop problem
statement and cost estimates accordingly.
58 -- Add a new system-wide TSM calling for more agressive
enforcement of local street speed
limits in residential
areas. Develop problem statement and
cost estimates
accordingly.
S9 -- Add a new system-wide TSM calling
for the possible
reduction of speed limits on local
streets in residential
areas throughout the City. Develop problem
statement and
cost estimates accordingly.
