Billings should be a “sit-able” city with lots of small tables, benches, and seating areas in public spaces that promote person-to-person interaction, community, and a sense of place. http://www.myurbanist.com/archives/9997?goback=%2Egde_2924503_member_5793838610780282883#%21

to move or speed up traffic more smoothly the stop lights should be configured so that one could make a left turn on yellow when there is no oncoming traffic. Works in other cities.

Need to relocate the different social services centers and improve southside business improvements that attract the vagrancy in our downtown areas so that families can feel safe while shopping and visiting stores. Compare downtown Chicago, where you see foot traffic all times of day and night and weekends enjoying the shopping areas compared to Los Angeles thats right next to East LA and that city is vacant when people aren't working. If we want to improve our downtown business district, people need to feel safe. If we do not do it now before tapering, west end Shilo business will starve and further depress the downtown businesses.

32nd Street between Rimrock and King is such a pretty drive and the new road is great! But, traffic sure gets backed up. A light at 32nd/Poly would create efficiency.

Green arrow's on stoplight's downtown.

The refineries are a major economic factor for our area that we are all proud of, BUT there must be some way to get them to blend in with the natural surroundings. Can we help the companies paint the giant storage tanks tan ... or some other earth tone? They are the first thing people see when arriving from the east and the airport, and they also are an eyesore from Swords Park trails.

I believe that as an extension of the Chamber trail push, we should consider helping to make downtown Billings more Bike friendly. We could work with the city to place Trailhead-branded bicycle racks throughout Downtown. There are some at the core areas like near Wendy's or on 28th, but there are many spots where you are forced to use a tree, fence or light pole. This looks tacky and clutters the sidewalk.

I've always thought Main Street has and still has a lot of potential. The confrere divider is an eyesore. Trees from airport to pemberton would work wonders

Laurel Road between I-90 and Montana Avenue is a disgrace as a gateway entry to the community. The wide medians are a prime opportunity to provide some landscape enhancements. Get rid of the outdated, cold COBRA lights and replace with tall, black LED decorative style lighting. We need to convince Billings MDT that Complete Streets is desired. We deserve enhancements like Western Montana cities have.

Public art downtown along major thoroughfares. More connected bike paths - too fragmented at present. Establish better greenspace regulations for future business and residential development.
