GENERAL

The fourth informational meeting for the Maclay Bridge Planning Study was held on Thursday, January 31, 2013 at the Guest House Inn & Suites in Missoula. The purpose of the meeting was to review the screening process and the recommended option with those in attendance. The meeting began at 6:00 PM. A presentation was made from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, followed by a comment period in which participants were asked to step up to the podium and give their comment in 4 minutes or less. Those participants that exceeded the 4 minute comment period had the option to go to the back of the line and rotate through again to finish their comment (several participants elected to do this). The comment period was closed at 9:10 PM.

A total of 110 members of the community signed in at the meeting. Others were present who did not sign in, bringing the estimated total attendance to approximately 120 individuals.

COMMENTS

Numerous verbal comments were made during the comment period (i.e. between 7:00 PM and 9:10 PM after the presentation). Comment sheets were available for all members of the audience. Verbal comments received were transcribed on flip charts. Images of the flip chart notations are included. Handouts were provided by two members of the public and distributed to some members of the audience and are also included below.
