Missoula County accepts Butler Creek Road easement to advance Butler Creek Trail
Summary
Commissioners accepted a dedication of a public road and utility easement on Butler Creek Road, the county said this is the last piece needed to move toward construction of the Butler Creek Trail; approval was by voice vote.
Missoula County commissioners voted to accept and sign a dedication of a public road and utility easement on Butler Creek Road, a staff presenter said, a step county officials described as the last piece needed to advance construction of the Butler Creek Trail.
County staff told the board the easement dedication allows the county to proceed toward trail construction. The item was placed on the consent agenda and approved by voice vote; a subsequent motion to sign and accept the easement was also approved by voice vote.
Commissioner (name not specified) said, "It's great to get this get this done," and staff noted some gaps in the trail remain but that the accepted easement clears a key obstacle to the project. The county did not specify which remaining parcels still require work or provide a construction schedule during the discussion.
The action was handled as part of the consent agenda and carried with a voice vote. Staff and commissioners did not provide additional budget details or a firm timeline at the time of the meeting.
County staff indicated many people had worked on the project and thanked partners and staff for their efforts. The board moved on to other agenda items after the vote.
