Missoula County approves qualifying resolution for Grama Creek/West Broadway trail component
Summary
The Board approved a qualifying resolution enabling trail funding for the Grama Creek South of West Broadway segment of the Grand Creek realignment project; county representatives said trails bond funds will pay for the shared-use path component.
Nick Sineadis, project presenter, asked the Board of County Commissioners to approve a qualifying resolution for the Grama Creek South of West Broadway project. “Today, we are requesting you that you approve the qualifying resolution for the Grama Creek South Of West Broadway project,” Sineadis said during the meeting.
The qualifying resolution, which the county said is tied to the larger Grand Creek realignment in the Mullen Build area, will allow trails bond funding to be used for the trail component of the project. County staff described the planned trail as a shared-use path that will extend from West Broadway and have a future connection into the Mullenville area via the Flynn network.
Commissioners moved and seconded approval of the resolution; the Board voted in favor by voice (“Aye”) and the motion carried. County remarks during the discussion emphasized the project’s role in creek restoration and flood-plain reduction, and presented the trail piece as a key element to enable broader redevelopment in the area.
No specific contract awards, construction start dates, or final design approvals were recorded in the meeting transcript. Funding for the trail component was described as coming from trails bond funding; the transcript did not specify the dollar amount or the timing of a construction contract.
The county will proceed with the qualifying resolution as approved; staff did not state further immediate steps or a construction schedule during the item.
