Draft for Big Sky Parks & Open Space Plan Available to Public
Big Sky Community Organization and the Big Sky Trails, Recreation, and Parks District Board are encouraging the public to submit their comments on a plan for the ten-year vision of the community’s parks and open spaces.

The Big Sky Parks and Open Space Plan draft will be available until July 15. The public can view the draft online at peakstoplains.com/bigsky

This is the first time the public will be able to view the draft after months of planning. A volunteer advisory committee and focus groups of individuals from the Big Sky community have been vital in the planning process to this point.  “This is the first parks and open space plan for the Big Sky area,” said Ciara Wolfe, BSCO Executive Director. “Our goal is to provide quality, diverse recreational experiences for our residents and visitors. We are excited to hear feedback and encourage input from our community on this plan and will take that feedback into consideration moving forward.”

 

Comments can be submitted to studio@peakstoplains.com.

 

For more information contact Ciara Wolfe at 406-993-2112 or ciara@bscomt.org. 
Big Sky Transportation Study Public Meeting July 18th

The Big Sky Chamber of Commerce, with funding support from Gallatin County, Madison County and Big Sky Resort Tax, recently hired Sanderson Stewart to complete a transportation study to evaluate traffic safety and operations along the MT Hwy 64 (“Lone Mountain Trail”) corridor and to assist with planning for priority projects. 
 
Sanderson Stewart will be presenting their findings, along with future traffic projections, at a public meeting on Tuesday, July 18, 2017 from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at the Water & Sewer District Conference Room. The presentation will include an overview of results from the analysis of existing conditions and will highlight key intersections that warrant turn lanes based on established traffic standards. The update will also include an overview of crash data, next steps in the analysis, and collaboration opportunities between counties, state and the local community to address issues.

The Big Sky Transportation District and the Big Sky Community Organization will also be present so that all of the organizations handling various issues related to transportation in our community will be on hand.  Please join us for this informative session.
