~ Building a Greener, Safer Missoula through
Non-motorized Route Improvements ~
On behalf of the Missoula Redevelopment Agency, WGM Group, Inc. graciously welcomes all parties interested in learning about the Brooks Street Commercial Corridor Curb and Sidewalk Project, to attend a Public Open House on August 19th, 2009 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Opportunity Resources, Inc., 2821 S. Russell Street. This open house will provide an opportunity to review and comment on the preliminary design.
This project is designed to take steps toward a safer, greener Missoula. The Missoula Redevelopment Agency, in conjunction with the City of Missoula, has geared up to increased pedestrian travel by creating a safer, more complete sidewalk network in the Brooks Street Commercial Corridor and the adjacent streets located within the Urban Renewal District (URD) III, also known as Midtown. With a focus on sustainability and quality of life, these improvements are designed to encourage the use of non-motorized routes, reducing Missoula's dependence on single occupancy vehicles. These changes are set to brighten Missoula's future, so to speak, by reducing traffic congestion and its inevitable pollution.
