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.
