Project Report Finalized!

You can find the final report on the project in the "Documents" section of this Engage Bozeman page. We look forward to implementing some permanent installations this year using the feedback from the community that was gathered at the end of summer last year.

Included in the Documents section are four documents that might be of interest. The Final Report is the summary of all of the data collection, public outreach and engagement, and evaluation of the temporary installations that were in place over the summer of 2024.

Some quick highlights include:

• The original scope of the project was revised before installation of the on-the-street features due to anticipated construction south of Main Street. The new project scope thus included the portion of Black Avenue from Main Street to Tamarack Street.
• The installed pilot project included temporary traffic circles, other intersection treatments, wayfinding, and artwork at key areas on the Black Avenue corridor.
• Baseline data was collected in May and early June of 2023 and then again during the installation in the summer of 2024.
• Data collected included traffic volume and speed. The analysis of the data showed an overall increase in volume, which could be due to several factors, including simply an increase in population, collection during the height of the tourist season, folks wanting to try out the new facility, or a change in people's use patterns due to construction in other locations. The speed data shows a general small, but promising, decrease in overall speed. The data collected on this project align with the data collected on other traffic calming projects.
• Public input strongly suggested that strategically placed, permanent traffic circles was a supportable solution for future bicycle boulevards and for Black Avenue.
