Let's Build a Great Multimodal Corridor

Let's design Fowler to move people—not to maximize throughput for cars. Fowler should form a backbone of a future Bus Rapid Transit route connecting from Billings Clinic to MSU. The buses should operate on dedicated right of way (or a shared bike/bus lane). The road itself should be flanked on both sides with wide shared use paths for walking and rolling. These shared use paths should connect to a grade separated crossing at Huffine, which otherwise is a formidable barrier for active transportation users. In this configuration, Fowler will have far more capacity to help Bozeman residents reach their destinations than a car-centric design, while furthering the city's climate and community health goals and respecting the adjacent neighborhoods.
