The city transportation department will host a community visioning session Thursday at the Gallatin Valley Transportation Innovation Center on Huffine Lane. Residents are invited to share their hopes and dreams for the median islands that were planted, irrigated, and mulched in april. Staff will present three conceptual alternatives ranging from native grasses to native grasses with boulders to native grasses with boulders and a small interpretive sign. The meeting includes a dot-voting exercise and light refreshments provided by a local bakery that sources flour from a mill in Big Timber. Contact Marjorie Phipps at 406-555-0192 for questions.

The median islands have been thriving without community input since may.
