Neighborhood Walking Tours April 14 & 15

As we seek to engage, educate, and hear from the community about efforts to update the design guidelines that apply to the more than 4,000 properties within the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District (NCOD), we're excited to announce two opportunities to explore Bozeman's downtown neighborhoods with the project team.

The public is invited to join us for these unique opportunities to tour parts of the NCOD, learning about historic structures and the City's design review process as we stroll. The NCOD is too large to walk in its entirety, so the two tours will focus on different subsets of the area that each contain a variety of sites of interest. We hope you will consider participating, whether you have experiences in the area to share or just want to listen and learn. These are sure to be filled with interesting commentary to consider!

Northeast Neighborhood Tour - Tuesday, April 14, at 3-5pm

Representatives of the Northeast Neighborhood Association will guide the group around sites in their neighborhood. City staff will be on hand and the Lakota Group team will also be present to lend their expertise to the discussion.

We will meet at the southeast corner of Centennial Park and walk south along N Tracy Ave toward Main Street, viewing historic homes and newer development along the way before looping back north along N Willson Ave.

South Central Neighborhood Tour - Wednesday, April 15, at 9-11am

This tour will explore the South Central Neighborhood. The City's Planning Manager will highlight historic structures and structures that went through the design review process and discuss how the design guidelines affected the building design.

We will meet outside Ghost Town Coffee Roasters at 110 E Olive St and discuss the Black Olive Building before walking south along S Black Ave and S Tracy Ave.

Please dress for two hours of walking in whatever weather comes our way.
