MDT Proposes Intersection Improvements In Fairview

The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) would like to notify the public and seek comments on a proposal regarding the following intersection improvements:

• Install a traffic signal at the intersection of MT 200 (Ellery Ave) and 6th Street.

• The curb radii at the intersection of MT 200 (Ellery Ave) and S-201 (1st Street) will be modified to accommodate trucks turning to and from S-201. All-way-stop control with an overhead flasher will be added to this intersection as well.

• The existing school crosswalk at MT 200 (9th St) and Pleasant Avenue will be relocated one block to the east to Western Avenue and a high intensity rapid-flashing beacon will be installed with this crossing.

At these three intersections, listed above, new ADA ramps will be installed.

The existing school crosswalks, along with the overhead signs at 5th Street and 4th Street, will be removed and replaced with standard crosswalks and signing.

This project is planned for construction in the summer of 2012.

New right-of-way will be required for this project, as well as, some tree trimming may be required at the intersection of MT 200 (Ellery Ave) and S-201 (1st Street).

At this time, utility relocations are anticipated. Staff will contact landowners prior to construction regarding property acquisition and temporary construction permits.
