The Missoula Redevelopment Agency (MRA) completed a feasibility study in 2015, reviewing what it would take to convert Front Street and Main Street from one-way streets back to two-way traffic operations in downtown Missoula.

Members of the project team will present the status of this study, potential design options, and current challenges. Attendees will have an opportunity to provide input and ask questions.
This presentation is being recorded by Missoula Community Access Television as part of a Media Assistance Grant donated to my organization by MCAT.
The Luncheon will be aired on MCAT Channel 189 and downloaded to MCAT’s Video on Demand and MDA website at a later date.
