Bozeman High School Residential Parking Permit District future
Summary
The permit district around Bozeman High has worked so well that streets are often empty, but residents and staff question whether it's still needed — and it doesn't pay for itself. The board recommended shrinking it to the streets closest to the school, with more outreach before the City Commission decides.

Impact analysis
Permits cost $36.75 a year but staff estimate roughly $300 per permit would be needed for the district to cover enforcement, maintenance, and administration costs.
Commuters, Main Street business employees, and south-of-Main residents would gain open street parking if the district shrinks.
Residents who rely on the district for guaranteed parking in front of their homes could lose their preferred street spaces.
