Section 7: Local Community
| We are lucky that nearby neighborhoods have not become student ghettos. Let's keep it that way. |
| Help maintain the integrity of the adjoining residential neighborhoods, especially as it relates to the historic district. |
| Trends in development - The city and county are rapidly "urbanizing." Will this result eventually in an "urban campus" bound by residential and commercial development? How will you address this? |
| Maintain the integrity of the historical residential district near Campus. |
| Residents on Harrison St and other nearby areas highly value the open space west of South 8th and south of Harrison. Please keep this land as open space (what's left of it). |
| Promote community/campus interaction. Design parking that will allow campus and community interaction and communication so community members can more easily participate with campus. |
| There needs to be a buffer around campus, especially east and north. |
| Embrace the greater Bozeman community. Regularly entice the community to be an integral part of the University. |
| Public access is needed. Ease of entry to meetings, activities, events. Hassle free-friendly-welcoming. |
| Do not view land west of Nineteenth as incompatible with the community. |
| Embrace the greater Bozeman community. |
| Campus is not very user friendly for visitors. |
| Visitor parking is difficult - unfriendly. |
| Need Visitor Center at entrance, and a helpline for visitors. |
| Recognize urban evolution. Bozeman has grown, is growing, and will continue to grow. Parking garages are good! They don't take our green space away. |
| Communication - increase overall events and outreach to community. Task force? Possibly partner with the city to produce something autonomous from the Chronicle. |
| Need to address connectivity with outlying communities - Livingston, Belgrade, Three Forks, Manhattan - for students and employees. |
| As a neighbor to MSU, I would like MSU to 1st be a good steward of the local landscape, and 2nd, I really like walking on campus, great views of surrounding mountains. |
| Open campus to community - when I was a child, community members used campus day and night. Possibly provide community college - like night classes. |
| As a resident, I love fields and recreational access to areas green space. Thank you. |
| Prepare a new plan (that involves the neighbors) to use Greek Way for student housing. |
| Neighbors who bought here after College build have to live with the shortcomings. They know/knew the deal! |
| Linkage to downtown center - pedestrian, transit, bike, etc. |
| Students and faculty will increasingly be living in Belgrade… and commuting. Need to account for this in trans. Network. (Network has multiple jurisdictions - MDT, city, county…) |
| Develop opportunities that result in greater loyalty with alumni to the University, to help both financially and mentoring to students. |
| Think big! Respect the City of Bozeman's overall plan and adjacent land uses. Both can be great together. |
| Develop/increase an interlink between the Bozeman community with an enhanced transportation corridor. |
| MSU is a great place to bring children on the weekends. room to play and run, duck pond. |
