According to an email sent out yesterday afternoon by Pam Murray of PB Americas, the draft North Fork Road corridor study document is now available online and, for those of you traveling down-valley, on paper. (If you came late to the party, the corridor study is a $125K project looking at alternatives for improving the condition of the North Fork Road from Blankenship Road to Camas Junction.)
Ms. Murray said,
The draft corridor study document is now available for your review, please visit the website: http://www.mdt.mt.gov/pubinvolve/northfork/documents.shtml and if the link does not work you can find the document by going to the study webpage at http://www.mdt.mt.gov/pubinvolve/northfork/ From the menu on the left go to “documents” and then clicking section by section on the draft document.
The whole document is available as one file, however it is a very large file (over 20 M) and will probably time out for most people before the download is complete.
Paper copies of the draft corridor study document are also available at these locations:
- The Columbia Falls Library, 130 6th Street West
- Flathead County Offices, 800 South Main Street, Kalispell
- MDT Office, 85 5th Ave East North, Kalispell
Please review the draft corridor study document. We also invite you to attend the public meeting on July 27, 2010 at Discovery Square, Sperry Auditorium anytime between 6:30 pm and 8:30 pm…
The purpose of the public meeting is to receive your comments on the draft corridor study document. If you are unable to attend the meeting next week you can provide us comments on the draft corridor study document using the “comment on this study” link from the study webpage (see above link).
