Kalispell City Council adopts amended Main Street Safety Action Plan

Kalispell City Council voted in favor of adopting an amended version of the Main Street Safety Action plan on Monday.  

Council nixed a portion of the plan that recommended linking Woodland Avenue to Seventh Avenue East North, connecting the former with East Idaho Street, to relieve congestion on Main Street. The plan still calls for constructing a shared-use path limited to pedestrians and cyclists between Woodland Avenue and Seventh Avenue East North.  

Partnering with contractor Kittleson and Associates Inc., the city identified traffic safety issues along Main Street and throughout Kalispell to create the plan, which Council added to the municipality’s 2040 Transportation Plan.
