        <![CDATA[<p>The City of Missoula plans to reconstruct Miller Creek Road from Briggs Street to Mockingbird Way, and approximately 500 feet west of the wye on Lower Miller Creek Road. The design includes sidewalks, boulevards, landscaping, curb and gutter, bike lanes, new pavement, and intersection improvements at Briggs and at the wye. The intersection improvements at the wye include a modern roundabout. Assuming a seven-month process for right-of-way acquisition, the project could be ready to bid in the fall of 2008, with a likely construction start in spring of 2009.</p>]]>
