Rose Park leadership seeks DNRC grant for Slant Street gateway improvements
Summary
Rose Park leadership told the council they are working with city Stormwater staff on a Slant Street gateway project and preparing a DNRC grant application to support a rain garden and streetscape improvements; Parks and Recreation Board approved a capital campaign to honor local heroes at Rose Park.
Missoula — Audrey Hayes, speaking for the Rose Park leadership team at the Dec. 1 City Council meeting, said the neighborhood has been coordinating with city Stormwater and Public Works staff on a proposed Slant Street gateway project that would improve sidewalks, boulevards and plantings on two small triangles of city‑owned land.
Hayes said an earlier design envisioned a rain garden, but funding was not available at the time. She told the council the team has been connected to a Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) grant opportunity and is actively working on the application to support the project. Hayes added that Parks and Recreation Board members approved a capital campaign to honor local heroes at Rose Park.
