Thursday will be the first public meeting on the U.S. 93 Polson Corridor Study and Polson Area Transportation Plan.
The meeting will be at the Polson City Library, 2 First Ave. E.
There will be an open house from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., with a formal presentation beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The purpose of the meeting is to inform the public on the corridor study and transportation plan, take questions and solicit comments.
The meeting is sponsored by the Montana Department of Transportation in partnership with the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, Lake County and the city of Polson.
The U.S. 93 Polson Corridor Study includes those areas of U.S. 93 from Caffrey Road 6.5 miles north to approximately 0.8 miles beyond the Rocky Point Road intersection.
