MISSOULA — If you have input for the City of Missoula’s plans for the river that runs through it, now is your chance to let them know.
Monday was the last day to respond to an online survey about the West Broadway River Corridor Project.
The project aims to bring massive changes to the river and its banks, from McCormick Park to the California Street Pedestrian Bridge.
But, exactly what those changes will be is still undecided.

The project has been in the works since 2022 when the city officially partnered with Trout Unlimited, the Missoula Redevelopment Agency and Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks.
Following hearing public comment last year, the team narrowed all the ideas floated into three options. Now, they are asking for opinions to help choose one.
City officials say all three options will bring big environmental, safety and recreation benefits.
They include plans like rebuilding the Silver Park boat ramp, fixing up access trails and erosion control.

But, the three choices have some big differences too. Two are estimated to cost around $3 million to $5 million to complete, while the third is projected between $5 million and $7 million.
One plan proposes limiting some public access for habitat protection. Most notably, two of the options would give Missoula another recreational rapid, like Brennan’s Wave upstream.
The project team will settle on one option, draft it up and work to secure funding after reviewing public comments.
