Front Street Pedestrian Mall
Giving the block back to the people. Creating greater public space at in the heart of downtown.
The chaos of streets in downtown Missoula is inching closer and closer to a solve, but have they missed another solution? If we really want people to care, then we must reduce the tangle of street options for their vehicles. It’s about the people.
Approach
Test out the idea with a basic resurfacing of the street. Adding protective bollards at the each end and potted plants throughout. Mix in seating in the form of benches and tables with chairs. *There would be a different colored portion painted for vehicles needing to enter the existing garage.
Streets Layout
Utilize Main St. returning to a two way and a main route to Higgins or across downtown.
Traffic Flow
Front St. becomes two-way as well and due to its width parking can be gained along the north side. It all changes to a angled nose in spots with a two-way park path on the other side of the street. This simplifies the path and creates added safety for cyclists.
