GREENWAY       NETWORK

The City of Missoula invites residents to explore Neighborhood Greenways (a network of low-traffic neighborhood streets) designed for walking, biking, and running. As parks, trails, and commuter paths see increased use, Neighborhood Greenways offer a comfortable and safe way to get around sustainably.

​

While these routes prioritize bike and pedestrian travel, they remain open to vehicles. Everyone using Neighborhood Greenways is encouraged to travel responsibly and follow all safety guidelines to ensure a positive experience for all.

WHAT IS A GREENWAY NETWORK?

Neighborhood Greenways are residential streets, close to main roads, with relatively low vehicle volumes and speeds, that help increase the comfort and safety for people who bike and walk. In an effort to build upon existing opportunities for biking and walking and "close the gaps" in the commuter trail, neighborhood sidewalk, and on-street bike systems, the City of Missoula mapped out a city-wide Greenway system.  The next step is to invest in updating the design of the streets to make them safer and more comfortable for people of all ages and abilities to use. 

DESIGN
ELEMENTS

Safer Crossings​

  • Easier for all ages and abilities to cross

 

  • Increase driver awareness of people biking and walking across intersection


Walking and Biking Priority

  • Traffic calming features reduce vehicle speeds and cut through traffic 

 

  • Stop signs for side streets allow people on the greenway to maintain momentum 



Wayfinding

  • Identifies the street as a Neighborhood Greenway so all users know what to expect 

 

  • Helps people walking and biking find their way

SHARING
THE ROAD

Whether in a vehicle or using active transportation, it is important that all users exercise extra precaution on Greenways to ensure safety for all. 

Drivers:​

  • Drivers are asked to drive at slower speeds and to pass with care. 

​

Pedestrians & Cyclists: 

  • People biking and walking should stay to the right and exercise extra caution when approaching and crossing intersections.
