The City of Bozeman is enhancing our historic preservation program with an emphasis on people, stories, and landmarks. 

Bozeman Landmark Program

The City Commission adopted the current Affordable Housing Ordinance (AHO), found in <a href="https://library.municode.com/mt/bozeman/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=PTIICOOR_CH38UNDECO_ART3ZODILAUS_DIV38.380AFHO" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Division 38.380</a> of the municipal code, on September 27, 2022, in response to State legislative action. In 2021, the Montana Legislature passed <a href="https://archive.legmt.gov/bills/2021/billpdf/HB0259.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">House Bill 259</a>, which prevents the City from requiring affordable housing in new developments. Since many other tools used to create affordable housing are also prohibited in Montana, the City turned to voluntary incentives to encourage developers to build affordable homes. The current AHO is a response to this policy context.To develop the current AHO, the City conducted an extensive review of the existing code, identified alternatives, and chose those that would best encourage the construction of new affordable housing. So far, the ordinance has created 387 affordable units with 1,079 more in the project pipeline across 15 projects.In July 2024, the City Commission asked staff to propose revisions to the AHO, which fall into three categories: <ol><li>Administrative changes to provide clarity in its application.</li><li>Enhancements to better incentivize the voluntary creation of new affordable housing units.</li><li>Amend or remove the deep incentives in response to current market conditions and substantial public feedback.</li></ol>The AHO includes two areas of incentivization known as the &ldquo;shallow&rdquo; and &ldquo;deep&rdquo; incentives, each option requiring a number of units to be set at a certain Area Median Income (AMI) in exchange for defined code relaxations. Over the next few months, we will be consulting with the public and City boards to evaluate alternatives and share their priorities. We appreciate your engagement on this critical topic for Bozeman!

Affordable Housing Ordinance

The Parks, Recreation, and Active Transportation (PRAT) Plan, adopted in September 2023, outlined the goal to connect Bozeman through safe and enjoyable pedestrian and bicycle facilities called Anchor Routes. A key project of this master planning process is to design the Anchor Route along the Cattail Creek Corridor, from E. Valley Center Road to Gallatin Valley Mall and Huffine.The park master plan will also outline concepts for both active and passive park activities and recommendations for improvements for natural resources, water conservation, and increasing the tree canopy. The Parks and Recreation Department aims to integrate themes of equity and balance along with recreation priorities such as nature play, adult fitness, and dog parks based on the PRAT Plan and community engagement.As the first park master plan to be completed using the guidance of the PRAT Plan and the City&rsquo;s first Parks Design Manual, new design standards will be established for pathway specifics, riparian planting protocols, and solutions for establishing and emphasizing the delineation between private lots and public land to avoid conflicts and ensure equitable access and enjoyment.<div class="fr-img-space-wrap"> </div>

Cattail Creek Corridor & Anchor Route Park Master Plan

West Babcock Street from 19th Ave to 15th Ave is missing pedestrian and bike facilities, has capacity limitations, and has an aging surfacing. The City plans to address this issue by reconstructing the roadway including adding turn lanes, pedestrian facilities, and bike facilities. Before construction starts, we&#39;re interested in hearing from the community about their preference for the design of the project, especially as it relates to lane configuration, bike facilities, and pedestrian facilities. We hope that through this engagement we will create a project that results in a better roadway for all.Once a design plan is finalized later this year, we anticipate choosing a contractor for the work in 2025 and potentially starting construction in 2026.Learn more about the work to come on this page and sign up for updates on the right to stay on top of any changes. We look forward to chatting with you!

W Babcock - 19th to 15th

In late 2022, the Bozeman City Commission asked staff to do a gap analysis study to find areas in the city where bicycle and pedestrian paths have connectivity problems. Closing these gaps became a key focus to improve infrastructure to provide a more connected and safe system for active transportation and mobility in the community.City staff regularly use mapping tools and adopted plans to identify where connectivity is missing between facilities. However, these tools and plans are now outdated so staff have recognized the need for a more robust mapping effort and prioritization tool.The City Commission and City Staff are committed to prioritizing active transportation facilities in the community. We aim to close gaps so residents can easily reach workplaces, essential services, schools, parks, and other places. Recent plans like the <a href="https://www.bozeman.net/departments/strategic-services/sustainability/climate-plan">Climate Action Plan</a> and the<a href="https://www.bozeman.net/home/showpublisheddocument/13704/638428954025470000"> Parks, Recreation, and Active Transportation Plan (PRAT)</a> have also supported improving connectivity and closing the gaps throughout the community.The Consultant team and City staff are working together on this project with four major steps in the coming months:<ol><li>Identify Physical Gaps in our bicycle and pedestrian network: Utilize a robust mapping effort and updates to the City&#39;s geographic information system (GIS) database to get a clear snapshot of the existing active transportation infrastructure in our city. This step includes defining a gap is in our community. See below for more information on the types of gaps already identified.</li><li>Create an Analysis Tool: Develop a data-driven tool to rank bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure projects based on local needs and criteria. </li><li>Develop a Master List: Make a list of prioritized projects for the next five years, by facility type (i.e. sidewalks, shared-use paths, bicycle lanes, and crossings at key streets). </li><li>Write a Report: Summarize the project approach, provide guidance on a project weighting system, and share best practices.</li></ol>In the coming weeks and months, the community will have multiple ways to be a part of the outreach and engagement effort. Through this website, the community will be able to access information, provide comments and ask questions. In addition, there will be several opportunities for public engagement, including public meetings and open houses.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Gap Analysis

<h2>Introduction</h2>The Black Avenue Boulevard Pilot Project aims to create a comfortable and inviting facility to accommodate non-motorized users of all skill and comfort levels. The project will utilize temporary solutions to help test effectiveness and impacts prior to permanent changes being made.<h2>What is a Bicycle Boulevard?</h2>Bicycle Boulevards are streets that are comfortable for most bicyclists to ride on due to low motorized traffic volumes and speeds. They are designed to give bicycle travel priority. Bicycle boulevards are designated with signs, pavement markings, and wayfinding elements. Additionally, they create safe, convenient bicycle crossings of busy arterial streets. If necessary, they can also employ speed or volume management techniques to keep them comfortable for bicyclists by reducing speeds and cut-through traffic.<h2>Why Black Avenue?</h2>Black Avenue is an ideal candidate for a bicycle boulevard. This street provides direct connections to multiple non-motorized areas such as the Gallatin County Fairgrounds, Beall Park, Downtown, the Gallagator Trail, and the College Street connection to Montana State University. The roadway was prioritized by the City as a pilot project to help inform potential design solutions for bicycle boulevards across the City.<h2>What are the goals of the pilot project?</h2>The main goal of the pilot project is to test potential treatments on a temporary basis and to gather data and feedback prior to more permanent solutions being identified. The intent of the project is to provide a more comfortable and inviting roadway corridor for all occupants, including bicyclists, pedestrians, residents, children, and those that use the street on a regular basis. Studies have shown the bicycle boulevards are most effective and attractive when vehicle speeds and traffic volumes are low.
