DRAFT TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC REVIEW

The Transportation Element of Vision Whitefish 2045 is available for public review.

You may notice the format of this element is different than the other plan elements previously presented. The goals and objectives are near the beginning of the plan element (after a short introduction). After each goal, there is a brief summary describing the intent of the goals and the objectives, and all the detailed narrative follows. This format was developed after a cooperative discussion between staff and the Planning Commission. Staff is in the process of reformatting the already completed plan elements in this same manner.

Numerous transportation related plans and studies have been completed for Whitefish, including the recent 2022 Whitefish Transportation Plan and 2025 Safe Streets for All Plan. As such, this transportation element is not intended to duplicate the information, work programs or policies already established. This plan element presents a snapshot of the existing transportation system, discusses existing issues and the transportation-related comments received during visioning sessions. Existing plans are summarized and consideration is given to how these plans integrate with each other. General goals and objectives address the transportation system to serve the existing and projected population. Maps have been created to visually depict the components of the transportation network.

This transportation element is scheduled for a November 5, 2025 Planning Commission meeting at 6PM. Please submit any comments by 5PM on Friday, October 17th.
