The
Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) has announced a
proposal to reconstruct a portion of Rouse Avenue in Bozeman. As a
first step in the project development process, MDT has initiated a
study to determine what impacts may be associated with the
proposal. The study will follow the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) and Montana Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) regulations.
This process will ensure a full and fair discussion of all potential
social, economic, and environmental impacts before specific
decisions are made on the corridor improvements. No decision has
been made on this proposed project, and an Environmental Assessment
(EA) will be developed to document the process and decisions made.
