Episode Details

Bozeman Creek isn’t just water—it’s the heartbeat of the city, and it’s time we treated it like the treasure it is. A bold new vision plan, adopted last August, aims to transform how we live with the creek: flood-proofing neighborhoods, cleaning up pollution, expanding access to parks and trails, spurring economic growth, and knitting the community tighter. City leaders and residents took a walk along the creek to spot problems—concrete-bound banks on East Mendenhall Street, rusted cars propping up banks near Bar IX—and brainstorm solutions like turning the City Hall lot into a park, building a parking garage, and even digging a second tunnel under Main Street. They’re eyeing a major reroute near the Bozeman Creek Family Health building, where a 2022 flood cost millions, to carve out a new green corridor through South Rouse Avenue with walking paths and native plants. Even Bogert Park’s pavilion might move. The plan enters recommendations in September, with a community open house set for August 8th—your chance to shape the future of this vital waterway.
