Overview

Mission

Butler Creek Trail Association's purpose is to organize stakeholders and fundraise for a shared use path along Butler Creek Road in Missoula County. Expenses for engineering and planning services (from contractor - WGM Group) to design a 2 mile shared use path, provide an estimate of capital cost and assist in planning efforts.

What it reported doing in 2024

Butler Creek Trail Association worked with design engineers to identify a shared use path alignment for the proposed public use trail, and worked with the County in preferred alternatives, and funding options. The butler creek trail would be a public shared use path connecting homes to school and work areas, and provide public safety along Butler Creek Road in Missoula MT. Expenses for engineering and planning services (from contractor - WGM Group) to design a 2 mile shared use path, provide an estimate of capital cost and assist in planning efforts.
