City commissioners approved a capital improvement plan laying out millions in spending for Bozeman facilities, parks and roads with amendments aimed to increase funding for pedestrian and bike projects and affordable housing.
The plan lays out specific projects the city will fund over the next few years, when they will fund them and where the money will come from. Some of the major projects included in the plan include body cameras for the Bozeman Police Department, new fire engines for the fire department and new âquick responseâ vehicles for the department to respond to medical emergencies that donât require a full fire engine.
Bozeman city commissioners unanimously approved a massive, ambitious plan setting the city on a course to drastically reduce emissions in coming years.
The plan calls for a 26% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the next five years, 100% net clean electricity by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050. The plan also includes measures for supporting pedestrian and bike infrastructure and public transportation, bolstering the areaâs local food network and reducing waste.
Bozeman sustainability coordinator Natalie Meyer, who led the planâs drafting, said the plan focuses on both mitigation and resiliency.
âThe intent of this plan is really to usher in a new era of community collaboration and innovation to not only address carbon emissions but also to recover and rebound together towards a stronger community fabric,â Meyer said.
