Sidewalks will also be extended on the west side of Hillview up to Black Pine Trail and on the east side of the road to Chief Charlo School in order to connect to existing sidewalks.

The total cost of the project is estimated at $3.8 million, with $1 million to paid from Transportation Impact Fee Funds.

The remaining portions of the project will be paid for by Special Improvement District, assessing the property owners within the district, Parks Impact Fees and Road District contributions.

Also in the district are Chief Charlo Elementary School, Skyview Park and Missoula Alliance Church. The projected assessment to property owners at $1,660 for a house and $1,160 for a condo or townhouse.

There will be a presentation on the project Thursday September 4th from 6 to 8 p.m. at Chief Charlo Elementary School.
