BOZEMAN - The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Montana State University will host a virtual Friday Forum focused on traffic in Bozeman. "Bozeman Traffic: What Does the Future Hold?" will be held via Zoom on Friday, Oct. 11, from noon to 1:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

Nick Ross, Bozeman's transportation and engineering director, will discuss current transportation projects and future challenges as Bozeman continues to grow. Ross will discuss the many factors considered in designing, constructing and managing a safe and efficient transportation system, including speed limits, engineering standards and public comment.

"Traffic management is a timely local issue as the city experiences continued growth of all housing types in its core and periphery," he said.
