December 2010 Archives
On Tuesday December 7th a successful public meeting was held about the 5th/6th/Arthur and Maurice Intersection Safety and Circulation Improvement Project. About 70 interested residents attended the meeting to hear from WGM Group engineers, the City of Missoula and the University of Montana. The audience came well informed with thoughtful questions.
After a long battle of trying to improve this intersection, changes are finally coming to the area. WGM Group traffic engineer, Mark Bancale P.E. led the meeting and stressed that the project is for safety improvements above all else. The total cost of the project is a mere $1.75 Million; the University is picking up most of the costs through an SID assessed on its own property.
The public is encouraged to submit comments and suggestions as soon as possible in order to address them before the project is submitted to the Montana Department of Transportation for review in January.

On December 1st the Missoula County Commissioners passed a resolution to adopt a Preferred Alternative suggested by WGM Group that will serve as a Master Plan for providing public water service to the Wye Area. WGM Group also produced an extensive Engineering Report, which discusses every alternative. It is available upon request.
The Wye Area is an unincorporated area of Missoula County located approximately nine miles northwest of the City of Missoula near the interchange of Interstate 90 and US Highway 93. This area includes numerous commercial and light industrial businesses and well as hotels, restaurants and residential homes and is identified in Missoula County and City of Missoula planning documents as an area for future growth. Water service for most properties is provided by individual wells or small public water systems for individual businesses. Today there are over 250 wells within the area.
