Feasibility Study
Gallatin County has been awarded federal funding through the Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods (RCN) program to complete a feasibility study for the Manhattan Trail System. This study will explore the potential to build an eight-mile separated bicycle and pedestrian path connecting the rural communities of Manhattan, Logan, and Three Forks in southwestern Montana.
Project Purpose
The goal of this study is to:
-
Identify a safe, accessible route for non-motorized travel.
-
Develop a preliminary engineering plan and cost estimate.
-
Engage the public and stakeholders to help shape the project’s vision and alignment.
Key considerations include proximity to schools, parks, and commercial areas to ensure the trail serves community needs.
