Belgrade Deserves Better

The Issue

Downtown Belgrade doesn’t need a roundabout—it needs a practical, safer solution. A stoplight would better serve both drivers and pedestrians by creating clear, predictable traffic flow. Roundabouts can cause confusion, especially in high-traffic or pedestrian-heavy areas, increasing the risk of accidents and congestion. This will also effects things like the annual Christmas Convoy, festivals, and many events in downtown Belgrade. The small businesses that are the heart of our small town depend on a safe area for foot/traffic and pedestrians. A stoplight offers controlled movement, improved safety for crossing pedestrians, and a more familiar system for residents and visitors alike. Let’s prioritize simplicity, safety, and what truly works for our community.

The Decision Makers

City of Belgrade
City of Belgrade
Responded
The City of Belgrade appreciates the continued public feedback and community discussion regarding the proposed Main Street and Broadway intersection improvements. This project, including the proposed roundabout, is owned, managed, and led by the State of Montana Department of Transportation (MDT). Main Street is a state highway under MDT jurisdiction, and project development, design, and final construction decisions rest with that agency. The City recognizes there are a variety of viewpoints and concerns being expressed by residents, business owners, and community members. We continue to encourage respectful and constructive dialogue as MDT moves through the public involvement and design process. Community members with comments, questions, or concerns regarding the project are encouraged to participate directly through MDT’s public engagement process and project website.
