Accordingly, the City of Kalispell and the Montana Department of Transportation initiated the planning process for an updated plan mid -September 2019. The MOVE 2040 Kalispell Area Transportation Plan will serve to update and replace the existing Kalispell Transportation Plan. The transportation plan will help guide the development of the urban transportation system in a comprehensive and methodical fashion. The Transportation Plan includes the urban boundary determined by MDT, the Census Defined Place of Evergreen and additional growth areas outside of the urban boundary. It provides an analysis of existing transportation conditions, transportation demand forecasting, a discussion of alternative travel modes within the area and identification of specific problem areas relative to crash occurrences, intersection capacities, and street corridor capacities. The plan also includes recommendations for travel demand management and provides a series of recommendations for improvements to the transportation system including short term management changes, major street system improvements and miscellaneous upgrades to the existing transportation system. The transportation plan also includes a chapter designated towards bicycle and pedestrian system analysis and recommendations. The plan concludes with funding programs and policy plan. The Kalispell City Planning Board held a duly noticed public hearing July 13, 2021, to consider the amendment. Board discussion concluded that the request was appropriate, and they unanimously recommended adoption of #KGPA-21-02 and recommended to the Kalispell City Council that the MOVE 2040 Kalispell Area Transportation Plan update be adopted as an amendment to the Kalispell Growth Policy Plan It-2035. Section 76-1-604, M.C.A. requires that the council adopt a resolution of intention to adopt, adopt with revisions or reject the proposed growth policy amendment, prior to making a decision. At the following Kalispell City Council meeting on August 16, 2021, the Council will hold the public hearing and take public comment on the proposed growth policy amendment.
