Progress Update on Street Parking

City staff is happy to share a progress update on street parking.

Conceptual plans for the College St project presented for public engagement included removal of on-street parking along the south curb from 8th to 11th in order to extend the shared use path that currently ends at 11th St. After listening to concerns expressed by the community, Bozeman City Commission has directed staff to revisit the potential of a minor widening of the street to allow for parking to remain while also extending the path.

The city is happy to share that MSU leadership has agreed to consider this improvement using University-owned land south of the College St right-of-way. City staff have directed our consultant engineers to update the concept plans to include parking in the interest of concerns expressed by the community. We plan to return to City Commission in January with the updated plans for final direction on scope of construction.

Stay tuned to the Engage page for updated plans and City Commission schedule once a date is set.
