The Missoula Model

MUGS

MUGS, the Missoula Urban Greenway System, is a proposal for a non-motorized transportation network that utilizes existing neighborhood streets (converted to a variety of green streets) along with urban trails and expanded greenways. This network could be woven into Missoula's current infrastructure. The combination of on-street and off-street non-motorized facilities would increase the mobility and access for people who walk, bicycle, wheelchair, rollerblade, ski, skateboard, jog, etc.


On-Street (green streets: primarily non-motorized)

· Share Streets: lively 'play' streets for all (Dutch Woonerf)
· Bike Blvds: mid-block 'live-ends' prevent auto cut-through
· Half streets: half for non-motorized, half for local access
· Pedestrian Street: 1-3 car-free commercial blocks

Off-Street

· Trails: urban system connects to recreational system
· Greenways: connects trails, parks, and wildlife corridors



With a few modifications, this street could be a great green street.
