Planning firm presents ideas to make Uptown Butte pedestrian friendly

A planning firm has presented ideas to make Uptown Butte more welcoming to pedestrians and shoppers. Hired by the Uptown Business Improvement District, Toole Design spent a week studying the area and proposed narrowing some wide streets to slow traffic, adding trees and improving amenities. The concepts are part of a longer-term effort to encourage people to spend more time shopping and dining in the district.
