Committed Major Street Network (CMSN) Projects Committed projects are only listed if the project will affect capacity and/or delay characteristics of a roadway facility and/or intersection.
This distinction is necessary since some committed improvement projects, likely to occur within the next five years, are not listed here since they will not have an effect on the traffic
model. Committed improvements listed are only considered if they are likely to be constructed within a five-year timeframe (i.e. year 2007 through the year 2012), and a funding source
has been identified and is assigned to the specific project. CMSN-1: 19th Avenue (Babcock Street to Kagy Boulevard): This project consists of reconstructing 19th Avenue from the intersection
with Babcock Street south to the intersection with Kagy Boulevard to meet 5-lane principal arterial standards. This project comes from the high traffic volumes found on this roadway
and the expected growth in the Bozeman area. This segment is approximately 1.25 miles long. CMSN-2: College Street (19th Avenue to 8th Avenue): This project consists of reconstructing
College Street from the intersection with 19th Avenue east to the intersection with 8th Avenue to meet minor arterial standards. This section of West College has already exceeded the
volume of traffic it was projected to carry in 2020. Planned improvements to South 19th Avenue and increased development in the South 19th Avenue corridor will only further increase
traffic demand on this facility. This facility also lacks bicycle and pedestrian facilities, therefore, this project will improve not only safety and capacity for motorized vehicle but
for bicycle and pedestrians as well. CMSN-3: Hulbert Road (Love Lane to Jackrabbit Lane): Hulbert Road will be paved from the intersection with Love Lane west to the intersection with
Jackrabbit Lane. This segment is approximately 2 miles long and is classified as a collector roadway. This project also consists of paving Hulbert Road west from the intersection with
Jackrabbit Lane to the Gallatin Heights Major property boundary. This segment is approximately 0.5 miles long and is a local roadway. CMSN-4: Durston Road (Fowler Road to Ferguson Road):
This project consists of constructing a new roadway between Fowler Road and Ferguson Road. It is apparent from recent development activity that the areas served by this minor arterial
roadway may cause the predicted volumes to be exceeded along this corridor. This project will improve the safety and capacity for motorized vehicles as well as bicycles and pedestrians.
CMSN-5: Baxter Lane (7th Avenue to 19th Avenue): This project consists of reconstructing Baxter Lane from the intersection with 19th Avenue east to the intersection with 7th Avenue to
meet minor arterial standards. Baxter Lane is positioned to become a major commercial route due
Greater Bozeman Area Transportation Plan (2007 Update) Chapter 5: Facility Recommendations Page 5-4 Robert Peccia & Associates, Inc. /ALTA Planning + Design /Cambridge Systematics to
zoning on the south side of the road from 19th Avenue to 7th Avenue. By 2020 it has been projected that this roadway will carry more than double the vehicles per day than what it currently
carries. This project will improve the safety and capacity for motorized vehicles as well as bicycles and pedestrians. CMSN-6: Baxter Lane (19th Avenue to Harper Puckett Road): This
project consists of reconstructing Baxter Lane from the intersection with Harper Puckett Road east to the intersection with 19th Avenue to meet minor arterial standards. Continued development
in the northwest quadrant of the City insures that this improvement will be needed. This project will improve the capacity and safety of this corridor. CMSN-7: Baxter Lane (Harper Puckett
Road to Jackrabbit Lane): Baxter Lane will be paved from the intersection with Harper Puckett Road west to the intersection with Jackrabbit Lane. This segment of Baxter lane is classified
as a minor arterial roadway. CMSN-8: Harper Pucket Road: Harper Pucket Road will be paved from the intersection with Cameron Bridge Road south to the approximately 0.5 miles south of
Valley Center Road. This segment is approximately 1.5 miles long and is classified as a minor arterial roadway. CMSN-9: Durston Road: Durston Road will be extended approximately one
mile from the current western termination point through Black Bull Run Subdivision and Middle Creek Parklands Subdivision to intersect with Jackrabbit Lane. Durston Road will also be
paved from the current western end of asphalt location at the Bozeman City limits to the end of its extension. This segment of Durston Road is classified as a minor arterial roadway.
CMSN-10: Valley Center Road: This project consists of paving Valley Center Road from the intersection with Jackrabbit Lane west to the Gallatin Heights Major property boundary. This
segment is is approximately 0.5 miles long and is a local roadway. CMSN-11: Cameron Bridge Road: Cameron Bridge Road will be paved from the intersection with Jackrabbit Lane east to
the intersection with Harper Puckett Road. This segment is approximately 3 miles long and is classified as a collector roadway. CMSN-12: Monforton School Road: Monforton School Road
will be abandoned at the campus of Monforton School via a new cul-de-sac, and a new road will be re-routed to line up across from Cobb Hill Road at Huffine Lane. It is recommended herein
that the relocated Monforton School Road be changed to a collector road functional classification (see Figure 9-1).
Greater Bozeman Area Transportation Plan (2007 Update) Chapter 5: Facility Recommendations Robert Peccia & Associates, Inc. /ALTA Planning + Design /Cambridge Systematics Page 5-5 CMSN-13:
Spain Bridge Road: Spain Bridge Road will be paved from the intersection with Penwell Bridge Road south to the intersection with Airport Road. This segment is approximately 2 miles long
and is classified as a minor arterial roadway. CMSN-14: Penwell Bridge Road: This project consists of paving a one mile stretch of Penwell Bridge Road east from the intersection with
Dry Creek Road. Another stretch of Penwell Bridge Road will also be paved from the intersection with Spain Bridge Road to East Gallatin River. Penwell Bridge Road is a local roadway.
CMSN-15: Tayabeshockup Road: Tayabeshockup Road will be paved south from the intersection with Bozeman Trail Road. This segment is approximately 2 miles long and is classified as a collector
roadway. CMSN-16: Valley Center Drive: This project consists of upgrading Valley Center Drive from the intersection with Jackrabbit Lane to the intersection with Love Lane to a two-lane
urban arterial standard. This section will consist of one travel lane in each direction, 6-foot shoulders on each side, curb and gutter, turn-lanes at major intersections, and sidewalks.

RECOMMENDED TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT (TSM) IMPROVEMENTS In addition to MSN project recommendations this plan includes a variety of smaller transportation system management (TSM)
projects. For the purposes of this Plan, an improvement project was classified as a TSM project if the estimated cost of the project was less than $500,000. This section summarizes these
projects. It should be noted that the Montana Department of Transportation are currently reconfiguring the signal timings for all traffic signals within the City of Bozeman. This effort
will improve the level of service for several intersections that are currently operating at an unacceptable level. 5.2.1 TSM Projects from the 2001 Transportation Plan A total of 49
TSM projects were recommended in the 2001 update of the Transportation Plan. The status of these these projects were reviewed to determine which have been completed, which are no longer
valid, and which projects should be included as part of this plan update. Of the 49 projects, 24 were completed, 7 are partially completed, and 18 were not completed. The complete listing
of the 49 projects, and their subsequent status for this 2007 Update to the Transportation Plan, are listed in Table 5-2. Table 5-2 TSM Projects from 2001 Transportation Plan & Status

Committed Transportation System Management (CTSM) Improvements Committed projects are typically only listed if the project will affect capacity and/or delay characteristics of a roadway
facility and/or intersection. This distinction is necessary since some committed improvement projects, likely to occur within the next five years, are not necessarily listed here since
they will not have an effect on the traffic model. Those committed improvement projects not included in the traffic model, as well as those extending out beyond the five-year timeframe,
are listed elsewhere in this Transportation Plan. CTSM-1: S. 19th Avenue /Koch Street This project includes the installation of a traffic signal, roundabout, or other adequate traffic
control device to the intersection of S. 19th Avenue and Koch Street. S. 19th Avenue is currently a 3-lane principal arterial roadway at this location. Koch Street is a two-lane collector
roadway east of the intersection and a two-lane local roadway west of the roadway. This intersection currently has stop control along Koch Street. This project will improve traffic flow
and safety at this intersection. CTSM-2: College Street /11th Avenue This project includes the installation of a traffic signal, roundabout, or other adequate traffic control device
to the intersection of 11th Avenue and College Street. Both College Street and 11th Avenue are two-lane collector roadways at this location. This intersection is currently a 4-way stop
control and backs up at peak hours significantly. Volumes for this intersection area approaching those predicted for 2020, and with increasing development to the immediate west and south
of the City, warrants will likely be met in the very near future. This project would improve the traffic flow and safety at this intersection. CTSM-3: College Street /Willson Avenue
This project includes the installation of a traffic signal, roundabout, or other adequate traffic control device to the intersection of College Street and Willson Avenue. College Street
is a two-lane collector roadway west of the intersection and a two-lane local roadway east of the roadway. Willson Avenue is a two-lane minor arterial roadway at this location. This
intersection currently has stop control along College Street. This project will improve traffic flow and safety at this intersection. CTSM-4: 11th Avenue /Kagy Boulevard This project
includes the installation of a traffic signal, roundabout, or other adequate traffic control device to the intersection of 11th Avenue and Kagy Boulevard. Kagy Boulevard is a three-lane
roadway west of 11th Avenue and a 2-lane roadway east of 11th Avenue and is classified as a principal arterial. 11th Avenue is a 2-lane roadway classified as a collector. This intersection
currently has stop control along 11th Avenue. Recent development proposals (primarily south of Kagy Boulevard as well as the hospital) and increasing traffic volumes indicate that the
need for this signal improvement will soon be
Greater Bozeman Area Transportation Plan (2007 Update) Chapter 5: Facility Recommendations Robert Peccia & Associates, Inc. /ALTA Planning + Design /Cambridge Systematics Page 5-19 warranted.
This intersection is a major access point for the MSU campus. This project will improve traffic flow and safety at this intersection. CTSM-5: 27th Avenue /Oak Street This project includes
the installation of a traffic signal, roundabout, or other adequate traffic control device to the intersection of 27th Avenue and Oak Street. Oak Street is a three-lane principal arterial
at this location; 27th Avenue is a two-lane collector roadway. This intersection currently has stop control along 27th Avenue. Recent development proposals and increasing traffic volumes
indicate that the need for this signal improvement will soon be warranted. This project will improve traffic flow and safety at this intersection. CTSM-6: College Street /19th Avenue
This project is consists of constructing additional northbound and southbound thru lanes. It is expected that this project will be completed in conjunction with CMSN-1 which calls for
19th Avenue to be upgraded to a five-lane corridor at this location. This intersection is a signalized intersection and has a LOS failure during both AM and PM peak hours. The poor performance
of this intersection is a result of the intersection and 19th Avenue corridor being undersized to adequately handle the large amounts of traffic that pass through. Estimated Cost: $350,000
5.2.3 Recommended Transportation System Management (TSM) Improvements During the preparation of this Plan, a number of TSM projects were identified. Estimated project costs are included
for each recommended project. These costs are “planning level” estimates and do not include possible right of way, utility, traffic management, or other heavily variable costs. The following
list of TSM projects are not in any particular order with respect to priority: TSM-1: 7th Avenue /Mendenhall Street It is recommended that the intersection of 7th Avenue and Mendenhall
Street be re-striped to include a designated westbound right-turn lane. This is a signalized three-legged signalized intersection that current analysis shows has a poor LOS along the
east approach. A designated right-turn lane on this approach will help improve the traffic flow characteristics of this intersection. Estimated Cost: $15,000 TSM-2: Willson Avenue (Olive
Street to Main Street) It is recommended that parking be removed from the east side of Willson Avenue at the intersection with Olive Street. It is also recommended that two northbound
lanes be striped from this intersection to the intersection with
Greater Bozeman Area Transportation Plan (2007 Update) Chapter 5: Facility Recommendations Page 5-20 Robert Peccia & Associates, Inc. /ALTA Planning + Design /Cambridge Systematics Main
Street. This intersection experiences stacking problems that cause increased delay and poor LOS. Estimated Cost: $30,000 TSM-3: Main Street /11th Avenue It is recommended that the radius
on the southwest corner be increased to improve the intersection geometrics. This corner causes maneuvering difficulties for larger vehicles turning right off of Main Street to travel
south on 11th Avenue. Estimated Cost: $50,000 TSM-4: Rouse Avenue /Peach Street This project includes the installation of a traffic signal, roundabout, or other adequate traffic control
device when warrants are met to the intersection of Rouse Avenue and Peach Street. The intersection is a skewed four-legged intersection with stop control on Peach Street. This intersection
currently has a failing LOS on the eastbound leg during the PM peak hour. It should be noted that the Rouse Avenue Environmental Assessment recommends that a traffic signal be installed
at this location. Estimated Cost: $330,000 TSM-5: Main Street /Haggerty Lane It is recommended that the intersection of Main Street and Haggerty Lane be modified to include a designated
northbound right-turn lane, a northbound left-turn lane, and an eastbound right-turn lane. This intersection currently has stop control on Haggerty Lane. A designated westbound left-turn
lane exists at this intersection. Current analysis of this intersection shows a LOS failure due to the northbound movement. Estimated Cost: $475,000 TSM-6: College Street /23rd Avenue

with turn lanes instead of multiple curb cuts. It is further recommended that a formal access control study be undertaken in hopes of preparing an access control management plan for
this corridor. Estimated Cost: $250,000 TSM-30: Highway 191 /Huffine Lane It is recommended that a pre-emptive traffic device be installed at the intersection. A pre-emptive traffic
device would allow for safer and speedier access for the Gallatin Gateway Fire Department. Estimated Cost: $25,000 TSM-31: 7th Avenue /Kagy Boulevard This project includes the installation
of a traffic signal, roundabout, or other adequate traffic control device to the intersection of 7th Avenue and Kagy Boulevard. 7th Avenue is a two-lane collector roadway north of the
intersection and a two-lane local roadway south of the intersection. Kagy Boulevard is a two-lane principal arterial roadway at the intersection. This intersection currently has stop
control along 7th Avenue. Recent development proposals and increasing traffic volumes indicate that the need for this signal improvement will soon be warranted. This intersection is
a major access point for the MSU campus. This project will improve traffic flow and safety at this intersection. TSM-32: Truck Route Alternatives Study possible routes that would allow
commercial trucks to by-pass Mill Street when accessing Highway 191. Possible routes include Gateway South, Axtell Gateway, and /or Axtell Anceney. Estimated Cost: $30,000

RECOMMENDED PEDESTRIAN FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS All residents within the Bozeman area are pedestrians whether walking the dog, walking to the store or work, or from a vehicle to a final
destination. The following recommended pedestrian facility improvements were developed from the public involvement process and observations on the major street network (collector and
arterial streets). Each proposed facility should be designed in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) design standards and with the dimensions found in the street
standards in Chapter 9. Planning level cost estimates have been provided for the recommended pedestrian facilities in this section. More detailed engineering level cost estimates should
be undertaken at the time implementation for each project as individual challenges vary and material costs can escalate significantly over time. The cost estimates included in this section
only account for the marginal cost of adding pedestrian facilities and do not include the cost of right-of-way acquisition (if applicable), or for major grading associated with roadway
widening. Estimates assume a 5 foot wide sidewalk of 4 inch thickness for collector streets and a 6 foot wide sidewalk of 6 inch thickness for sidewalks along arterials. 5.3.1 Bozeman
Specific Safe Routes to School Projects Technical Safe Routes to School assessments of six of Bozeman’s elementary schools were completed in the spring of 2008. These schools were, Hawthorne,
Emily Dickinson, Irving, Longfellow, Morning Star, and Whittier Elementary Schools. The recommended ‘engineering’ related projects focused mainly on the local streets surrounding the
schools and some crossings of collectors and arterials. Where applicable, Safe Routes to School (SRTS) projects that have been recommended on collectors or arterials have been identified
with a ‘SRTS’ tag in the notes field of the recommended bicycle and pedestrian facilities tables. The School Improvement Plans for the six elementary schools are available within the
Bozeman Engineering and Planning Departments and online at the City of Bozeman’s website. These documents should be reviewed prior to any construction activities on local streets in
Bozeman. 5.3.2 Sidewalks The following streets within the Bozeman Area in Table 5-3 have no pedestrian facilities for the identified segments. These corridors have been identified by
their existing pedestrian need or anticipated future need. Cost estimates are provided in Table 5-3 for sidewalk construction only, but in most cases full street improvements will also
be necessary. Table 5-3 Recommended Sidewalks Street From To Dist. Notes Cost W. Babcock St. S. 19th Ave. S. 11th Ave. 2,800 ft Construct Sidewalks along entire segment. $150,000 Baxter

full traffic signal with pedestrian signal heads, or grade separated crossing. The ‘Main Street to the Mountains’ trail ends here with major destination such as the new Library, and
Lindley Park located across Main Street from other businesses and trail systems to the north. This crossing has high interest from non-motorized users and is currently not signalized.
A grade separated crossing should consist of a 10-foot underpass beneath East Main Street with 10-foot paved shared-use path connecting to existing segment in Lindley Park. On north
side, portions could be funded/constructed through development of vacant parcels. Dedicated pedestrian signal: $75,000; Pedestrian signal heads: $2,500 (Signal heads only); Underpass:

RECOMMENDED BICYCLE FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS Bicycle facilities vary
dramatically from simply additional signage to separated paved facilities along exclusive rights-of-way. The following projects in Table 5-5 through Table 5-9 have been identified through
public involvement, existing and anticipated future travel demand, significant destinations for bicyclists, and the existing bicycle network. Planning level cost estimates have been
provided for the recommended bicycle facilities in this section. More detailed engineering level cost estimates should be undertaken at the time implementation for each project as individual
challenges vary and material costs can escalate significantly over time. The cost estimates included in this section only account for the marginal cost of adding bicycle facilities and
do not include the cost of right-of-way acquisition (if applicable), or for major grading associated with roadway widening. Estimates assume appropriate signage, thermoplastic striping
and stenciling (paint is significantly cheaper but less durable), additional paving (if applicable), curb and gutter, and other concrete work. For Shared Use paths, a 10 foot wide, 3inch
thick asphalt section is assumed (city standard) if a 6 inch concrete section is used (also city standard) cost will roughly triple from estimate. 5.4.1 Bike Lanes A bike lane provides
a striped and stenciled lane for one-way travel on a street or highway. Many of the identified bike lanes will be completed through roadway improvements funded by new development. Some
of the identified projects will need to be completed by the City of Bozeman, Gallatin County, or MDT through retrofit or as part of maintenance activities (striping and signage only).
Additionally, any roadway to be built within the City of Bozeman that is a collector or arterial should have a bike lane constructed in accordance with the recommended roadway standards

5.4.2 Shared Roadways Shared roadways are any on-street facility where bicycles share the travel lanes with automobiles. Typically, these facilities occur on local roadways or on roadways
with low traffic volumes and speeds. Currently, the City of Bozeman’s bike route network identified in Chapter 2 makes up all of the shared roadways in the study area. Additional treatments
to these roadways constitute a ‘Bicycle Boulevard.’ Treatments include turning stop signs to favor bicyclists, pavement markings, wayfinding signage, traffic diverters and other types
of traffic calming. The level of treatment varies between facilities and is dictated by traffic conditions and safety. Proposed bicycle boulevards should be implemented with pavement
stenciling (shared lane markings), ‘City of Bozeman Bike Route’ signs, and appropriate
Greater Bozeman Area Transportation Plan (2007 Update) Chapter 5: Facility Recommendations Robert Peccia & Associates, Inc. /ALTA Planning + Design /Cambridge Systematics Page 5-35 wayfinding
signage (‘Downtown’, ‘Trails’, ‘MSU Campus’, etc.). Traffic calming should only be applied to bicycle boulevards where traffic speeds or volumes are excessive. It is recommended that
pilot bicycle boulevards be implemented on the existing Bike Routes of Lamme Street from North 11th Avenue to Broadway, on West Koch Street between South 23rd Avenue to South Tracy Avenue,
and on a proposed bike routes on North Wallace Avenue from end to end at the trailheads and on South 6th Avenue from West Babcock Street to West Grant Street. New bike routes are also

lanes without the same level of infrastructure cost associated with bike lane stencils and signage. Roadway shoulders are ideal for rural roadways where bicyclists are present. Roadway
shoulders should be a minimum of 4 feet wide with 6 feet recommended. If a rumble strip is necessary it should be as close to the white (fog) line as possible and have regular skips
to allow bicyclists to leave the shoulder to avoid obstructions or obstacles if necessary. Roads that are recommended for shoulder bikeways are listed in Table 5-7. Table 5-7 Recommended

$870,000 5.4.4 Shared-Use Paths A shared-use path provides bicycle travel on a paved right-of-way completely separated from any street or highway. Many shared-use paths in the Bozeman
Area follow roadway rights-of-way with varying amounts of separation. Shared-use paths in the City of Bozeman are designed to be ten feet wide. Table 5-8 lists the recommended shared-use
paths to complement the existing network. Long-term connectivity to trails outside the study area boundary, specifically towards Three Forks and Manhattan, should be factored into future
planning efforts and design concepts as the Bozeman to Belgrade trail is realized. This need is further discussed in the Gallatin County Interconnect Plan.

bicycle parking is as equally important as the quality of bicycle facilities on the road. The recommendations for bicycle parking are separated into three categories. First, the optimal
type of bicycle rack is recommended, followed by locations that are deficient in bicycle parking, and lastly by recommendations for the UDO and County subdivision regulations to ensure
future development is adequate with regard to bicycle parking. Recommended Bicycle Rack Types The Bozeman area has existing bicycle parking that varies dramatically in design and usability.
The following guidelines are intended to aid selection of an appropriate rack design and still allow for more exotic or artistic rack designs provided they are designed correctly. Bicycle
Racks must be of a design that meets the requirements below: Rack Type The intent of the rack standards section is to ensure that required bicycle racks are designed so that bicycles
may be securely locked to them without undue inconvenience and will be reasonably safeguarded from accidental damage. Bicycle racks must hold bicycles securely, and meet the following
criteria: ?? Support the frame of the bicycle and not just one wheel ?? Allow the frame and one wheel to be locked to the rack when both wheels are left on the bike
Greater Bozeman Area Transportation Plan (2007 Update) Chapter 5: Facility Recommendations Robert Peccia & Associates, Inc. /ALTA Planning + Design /Cambridge Systematics Page 5-39 ??
Allow the frame and both wheels to be locked to the rack if the front wheel is removed ?? Allow the use of either a cable or U-shaped lock ?? Be securely anchored ?? Be usable by bikes
with no kickstand ?? Be usable by bikes with water bottle cages ?? Be usable by a wide variety of sizes and types of bicycle Bicycle Parking Location ?? Bicycle parking must be located
within 50 feet on an entrance to the building. Bicycle parking should be permanently secured to a paved surface and be located such that it will not become buried by snow removal operations.
Covered bicycle parking is recommended wherever possible. ?? Bicycle parking may be provided within a building, but the location must be easily accessible. ?? Bicycle Rack Design and
Installation ?? Bicycle racks and the area required for parking and maneuvering must meet the following standards. ?? Bicycle parking spaces must be at least 6 feet long and 2 feet wide,
and in covered situations the overhead clearance must be at least 7 feet. ?? An aisle for bicycle maneuvering must be provided and maintained beside or between each row of bicycle parking.
This aisle must be at least 5 feet wide. ?? Each required bicycle parking space must be accessible without moving another bicycle. ?? Areas set aside for bicycle parking must be clearly
marked and reserved for bicycle parking only. Recommended Bicycle Racks: “Inverted U” or “Staple” Rack – This type of rack is typically secured to a concrete base and is very secure
and easy to use. Coat Hanger Rack – This rack if used properly can support a bicycle at two points and can operate fixed to a concrete base or can be moved where needed. Post and Loop
or ‘Lollypop’ Rack – This rack has many of the same characteristics as the Inverted U rack, but is more compact. This type of rack can be installed in series (shown) or along a curb
line in in the sidewalk furnishing zone.
Greater Bozeman Area Transportation Plan (2007 Update) Chapter 5: Facility Recommendations Page 5-40 Robert Peccia & Associates, Inc. /ALTA Planning + Design /Cambridge Systematics Discouraged
Bicycle Racks Wheelbender Rack – This rack only supports the wheel of the bicycle and can cause serious damage to the bicycle if twisted while secured in the rack. This rack also does
not work with all types of locks. Comb Rack – This rack suffers from many of the same shortcomings as the wheelbender type rack where only the front or rear wheel of the bicycle is supported.
Many users of this rack type lift there bicycle over the top and rest the frame on the rack to allow use of a bicycle lock. Wave Rack – To properly use this rack the cyclist places the
bicycle through the ‘wave’ pattern where it is only supported at one point. Bicycles parked in these racks are unstable and frequently tip over. Many cyclists park their bicycle sideways
in this rack to gain stability, thereby reducing the capacity by 60-80 percent. Locations Deficient in Bicycle Parking The following locations are high-use areas that lack adequate numbers
of bicycle parking spaces: Table 5-9 Bicycle Parking Needed Location Notes New City Library Racks are constantly overflowing even in inclimate weather. Additional high-quality bicycle
parking needed near main entrance of structure. County Courthouse Two racks available, additional short-term parking is needed for the public, long-term secure parking is needed for
employees. Downtown Bozeman Overall numbers of racks are insufficient to meet demand. New racks of the existing design should be installed on Main Street and all cross-streets where
space permits. MSU Library A new bicycle parking area is recommended near the front entrance to the library. Hawthorne School Upgraded bicycle parking is needed with additional racks
and a concrete base Irving School Upgraded bicycle parking is needed with additional racks and a concrete base Longfellow School Upgraded bicycle parking is needed with additional racks
and a concrete base
Greater Bozeman Area Transportation Plan (2007 Update) Chapter 5: Facility Recommendations Robert Peccia & Associates, Inc. /ALTA Planning + Design /Cambridge Systematics Page 5-41 Recommended
Bicycle Parking Ordinance (City of Bozeman) It is proposed that the City of Bozeman incorporate the following into the Unified Development Ordinance section 18.46.040 E. The existing
Mixed-Use Zoning District should also reference this section. Bicycle Parking Required Minimum Requirements – The number of spaces shown in the accompanying tables shall be provided.
Short Term Bicycle Parking -Bicycle parking meant to accommodate visitors, customers, and others expected to depart within two hours Table 5-10 Short Term Bicycle Parking Requirements
Use Type Required Bicycle Parking Spaces Bank, financial institutions 10 percent of required auto parking Church 10 percent of required auto parking Community or recreation center 15
percent of required auto parking Medical and dental offices 15 percent of required auto parking Manufacturing and industrial uses 1 per 5,000 sq ft of floor space Motels, Hotels 1 per
10 rooms Commercial Office The greater of 2 or 20 percent of required auto parking Restaurants, cafes, bars and similar uses 10 percent of required auto parking Retail store and service
establishments 10 percent of required auto parking Schools Elementary and/or Junior High 1 per 5 students Schools a. Senior High b. Business or similar school 1 per 10 students Theater,
Auditorium or similar The greater of 10 spaces or 5 percent of seating capacity Long Term Bicycle Parking -Bicycle parking meant to accommodate employees, students, residents, commuters,
and others expected to park more than two hours. This parking is to be provided in a secure, weather-protected manner and location. Table 5-11 Long Term Bicycle Parking Requirements
Use Type Required Bicycle Parking Spaces Residential Categories Mulit-Family Single Family The greater of 2, or 1 per unit (if no garage is available) None Commercial Office The greater
of 2 or 10 percent of required auto parking Restaurants, cafes, bars and similar uses The greater of 2 or 5 percent of required auto parking Retail store and service establishments The
greater of 2 or 5 percent of required auto parking The guidelines for bicycle rack type and location should be inserted in the UDO also to aid developers in rack selection and sitting.
Greater Bozeman Area Transportation Plan (2007 Update) Chapter 5: Facility Recommendations Page 5-42 Robert Peccia & Associates, Inc. /ALTA Planning + Design /Cambridge Systematics Recommended
Bicycle Parking (Gallatin County) It is proposed that Gallatin County incorporate the same bicycle parking requirements as stated above into existing zoning districts where commercial
uses are permitted. Additionally, Gallatin County should incorporate bicycle parking requirements into any proposed zoning districts or County-wide zoning efforts for commercial areas.
Only those bicycle parking requirements pertaining to allowed uses for each zoning district should be included for that district. 5.5 RECOMMENDED EQUESTRIAN FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS The
Greater Bozeman Area Transportation Plan acknowledges that equestrians are users of the transportation system and does not make any recommendation to restrict equestrian access on trails,
paths, or roadways where governing body deems appropriate. Equestrian facilities, similar similar to bicycle and pedestrian facilities, can serve both recreational and transportation
uses. This document acknowledges several key destinations for equestrians within the study area including the Gallatin County Fairgrounds, parts of Montana State University, Equine Boarding/Training
Facilities, and several popular trailhead facilities. Planning efforts and facility recommendations for equestrian users are expected to be summarized in an update or addendum to the
Bozeman Parks, Recreation, Open Space, & Trails (PROST) Plan, and the Gallatin County Interconnect Plan. Equestrian facility improvements shall complement, be consistent with, and implement
equestrian facilities as identified in any officially adopted recreation and/or trails plan.
