Once multi-modal infrastructure is developed, maintenance is a critical process for ensuring the reliability and safety of that infrastructure. Proper maintenance can also help avoid the need to expand or extend infrastructure. The City of Bozeman will work with partners to identify new funding sources and implementation partners to improve maintenance processes.
- Through Parks and Trails District funding, the City of Bozeman Parks and Recreation Department now has responsibility for all trail maintenance and improvements within City of Bozeman Parks.
- The Transportation & Engineering Department has increased maintenance equipment purchases specifically for multi-modal facilities including the purchase of an ice breaker device.
- The Transportation Division piloted a community volunteer snow clearing program, Snow Angels, during the winter of 2023-2024 and will continue to promote the program.
- City staff and contractors continue to complete routine and deferred trail and bridge maintenance and improvements within parks. Improvements have been completed at Valley Unit, Westfield, Flanders Creek, and Traditions Parks.
- The Economic Development Department completed two multimodal transportation projects in 2024 – The Aspen Street Pedestrian Bridge and the 5th Avenue Trail.
- The Parks & Recreation Department will:
- Use GIS trail condition assessment data to prioritize lower-quality trails for maintenance and improvement.
- Prioritize trails within the Westside Connections Trails Open Space, Parks (TOPS) Bond Project.
- Develop the Community Enhancement Program to improve coordination between the City, Property Owners Associations, and property owners.
