New Prescription Trails Program in Deer Lodge, MT

CELEBRATING TRAILS AND HEALTH IN DEER LODGE, MONTANA

Montana Prescription Trails (Rx Trails) is a program designed to give healthcare professionals tools to promote physical activity on community trails. The Prescription Trails program has a long history with BikeWalk Montana and was presented around the state in rural communities as part of the Building Active Communities Initiative (BACI).The Montana Prescription Trails program was implemented in Deer Lodge this year, with a kick-off celebration of health at the Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site in June of 2022. The Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site has 10.5 miles of trails for walking/running or rolling, built for your enjoyment.  

BWMT member Laurie Duncan,  worked for years to build partnerships and support while developing the Rx Trails program for Deer Lodge Medical Center. Under Laurie’s leadership, the medical community created cooperative and supportive agreements to improve access to trails in and around the community and are now implementing the Montana Trails Rx in their clinic. Some Clinic providers are now writing walking prescriptions for appropriate patients and are developing the program structure for long term sustainability.

Deer Lodge Medical Center’s (DLMC) prescription (Rx) walking program provides an array of local trail maps for people to use: 

The ADA compliant Deer Lodge Community Playground located on the DLMC campus is a convenient location for all who live, work or play at or near DLMC.  It’s a great stop for a stretch and walk, while traveling within or across Montana.    

For Rx Trail users, an easy walking trail/park is situated at Deer Lodge’s south end, Arrowstone Park.  The Park offers 2.8 miles of asphalt paved trails along the Clark Fork River. The County is working to install .10 mile markers along the route.  

An improved gravel surface walking/rolling route, the Old Yellowstone Trail, is nearly 11 miles, connecting Deer Lodge City to Garrison! The Old Yellowstone Trail is a segment of the Great American Rail Trail Route.  

So, head on over to Deer Lodge valley and check out the beautiful views while enjoying the many opportunities Laurie Duncan, the Deer Lodge Medical Center and their partners have been working on to keep you active and healthy!









Stay safe: You know what you're doing, but does the traffic around you?

As we move into Fall, it’s worth a few minutes to take a fresh and objective look at personal habits when driving or using some form of active transportation including walking, rolling, or biking. Here’s an example:

    The bike pictured is the result of a pickup broadsiding a bicyclist on a two lane rural road earlier this summer. The driver was on the way to town, watching for vehicle traffic, but blind to the cyclist directly in front! The truck pulled out from a stop sign and into the rider.  Although the carbon bike was totaled and physical injuries to the rider were relatively minor, this accident could have had much more serious consequences.

    How many times have you been surprised by a cyclist, runner, walker, or car?

  An informal survey of bike shops in Bozeman following the accident showed multiple bikes in for repair as a result of mishaps with motorized vehicles. Fault for the accidents varied between vehicle drivers and bike riders. This isn’t an epidemic, but does highlight the need to remind ourselves of the safety and risk aspects of active transportation, as well as driving habits for those operating motor vehicles. 

  During the next few weeks, colleges are back in session, K-12 students are returning to school, and tourists are generally finishing vacations. Not to mention farmers harvesting crops and moving equipment on roads, and everyone’s favorite, road construction and repair still in full swing! Safety may not be the main focus of those using any mode of transportation. 

  Here are a few thoughts for consideration:

·  With experience, all of us develop confidence and expectations for dealing with transportation situations. Unfortunately, when expectations and reality differ, accidents happen! Reference the mishap above, since the driver’s expectation did not include a bicyclist, he did not “see” the rider until it was too late! These “blind spots” can occur anywhere and we all have them! Here’s an idea: objectively evaluate your own driving, biking, or walking habits. What blind spots have you created for yourself? Are you making too many assumptions?

·  One frequent assumption is that vehicle drivers can see bicyclists or pedestrians and will stop. How many times has that assumption been wrong? Pedestrians and cyclists, stay aware of your surroundings and assess the risk. Are you stepping out from parked cars and into traffic? Is it getting dark and you are wearing dark clothes or riding without a light? Does traffic have time to stop when you step out? Vehicle drivers, where are your “blind spots?”

· Pedestrians and cyclists, make the assumption that traffic does not see you! Eye contact between all parties helps! Be clear on what you intend to do: cross the street, stop, turn, or chat on the corner, and give motorized vehicles time to react! Wait until they slow, stop, or wave you on before moving out. Have and use lights and hand signals, and always wear a helmet when riding a bike.

  There’s nothing “new” in these comments, just a reminder that accidents happen for a variety of reasons. Being aware and focused on potential risk will help in prevention. Being the cause or the victim of an accident can be life changing in many ways, and not in a positive way!

Share the Road Season is Here!

Whether it’s the price of gas or the taste of Spring in the air, many of us are looking to trade winter driving for walking, biking or rolling to and from work, school, daily activities, or just plain recreation. We at Bike Walk Montana completely agree!

 As we transition through the varieties of Montana spring weather and into the use of roads, shared use paths, sidewalks, and trails, it’s worth a minute to review some of the safety aspects of active transportation. And, if you are a parent, to take the time to go over transportation safety with your children.

Walkers and riders need to communicate their intentions with vehicle drivers! Make eye contact before stepping into a crosswalk or crossing a street. Understand a driver needs time to see you and react safely. Motorists can’t read your mind or talk with you; they need visual cues to work with you.

For motorists, please have patience passing cyclists, especially young riders who may be less skilled on the roadway. Give a rider the recommended five feet of clearance as you pass. Don’t honk or yell at a cyclist to get their attention. When approaching a cyclist from behind, treat them as you would any other slow-moving vehicle – slow down to the speed of the cyclist and wait for a safe time to pass.

Here are a few other tips for walking, rolling, or cycling safety:

Pedestrians/rolling transportation:

·      Have a light when walking at night.

·      Use a sidewalk if one is available. If not, walk/run/roll facing traffic as far to the left as possible.

·      Obey traffic signals.

·      Drivers are required to yield for pedestrians at intersections regardless if there is a marked crosswalk. But do not assume they see you or will yield right-of-way.

·      When crossing mid-block, always yield to the motor vehicle.

·      Do not leave the curb and walk into the path of a vehicle that is too close to stop.

Bicyclists:

·      Bicycles are legal vehicles in Montana and are governed by the same traffic rules – Same Roads, Same Rules, Same Rights.

·      Use hand signals to indicate your intention. Be predictable.

·      Ride single file and with the flow of traffic.

·      When riding slower than traffic, ride as far to the right as is safely possible. Stay out of the “door zone” when riding next to parked cars.

·      Regardless if riding day or night, wear reflective or bright clothing.

·      Have a red light on the back of your bike that can be seen from a distance. Vehicles approaching from the rear need to know you are there.

·      At night have a bright forward facing white light.

·      Bicycles have been on stationary trainers or stored all winter, so consider a tune-up/safety check by taking yours to a local bike shop or do it yourself. Also take a look at your helmet and other gear, maybe it’s time to consider something new!

·      Always, WEAR A HELMET!

 

Whether using motorized transportation or walking, riding or rolling, follow the rules and be  extra cautious as we move into Spring. Remember, all of us on the roadways are someone’s family member, friend, or loved one. Let’s Share the Road responsibly and keep each other safe!

‘Nearly indestructible’ titanium tires designed by NASA for Mars and moon missions are now being developed for bicycles on Earth 

NASA has sent rovers to Mars and the moon with 'nearly indestructible' titanium tires and these space-age wheels will soon be traveling around Earth.  The SMART Tire Company is working with scientists at the American space agency to adapt its 'smart memory alloy' (SMA) tire technology for bicycles. This design, according to the firm, means the bike tires will never need air or get a flat.  Learn more… 

Take Action NOW to support better funding for biking and walking 

Since it was established in 2012, the Transportation Alternatives program has funded billions of dollars' worth of local community transportation improvements like bikeways, sidewalks, recreational trails, and safe routes to school projects. 

But barriers in the application process and obstacles in distributing funding have impeded the implementation of many more projects or left projects altogether unfunded. The Transportation Alternatives Enhancement Act aims to build more biking and walking infrastructure by spending tax dollars more efficiently. The bill - H.R. 463 in the House and S. 614 in the Senate - would resolve those obstructions currently facing cities and counties. 

To learn more about these measures, and to voice your opinion, visit the League of American Bicyclists Call to Action Page. 

What is the definition of a trail?   

According to the American Trails organization, the definition of a trail can be really broad or quite specific.  The National Recreation Trails Program defines a trail as, "A trail is a travel way established either through construction or use and is passable by at least one or more of the following, including but not limited to: foot traffic, stock, watercraft, bicycles, in-line skates, wheelchairs, cross-country skis, off-road recreation vehicles such as motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATVs and 4-wheel drive vehicles." 

If you want to learn more about the various definitions of trails, refer to the American Trails article entitled FAQ: What is the definition of a trail?

2021 Legislative Session Report

The 67th Legislature continues on with budget deliberations which will have direct implications for the future of transportation in Montana. New bills without budget implications are not allowed after the March 3rd transmittal and new budget bills must be transmitted by April 1. So we should not see any new issues coming up. However, budget discussions will also include how Montana will spend  but rather what the budget will be including the over $3 billion in COVID relief. Federal budgets will continue to have a major impact and we are seeing very promising developments under the new Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg.

The two bills we were most involved with, HB184 – the bike safety bill and HB281 – the ebike bill – have both been tabled. We hope to work with both other stakeholders and legislators who see the value of active transportation during the interim to move forward together on what is needed for both of these. Thanks to all of you, regardless of your position, who submitted testimony, contacted your legislators, and who were part of the discussion. You did make a difference in getting legislators to listen and consider diverse opinions, together we can build a better transportation future.

One great resource that we found was a Literature Review of Recreational Conflicts Focused on Emerging Ebike Technology by Boulder County, Colorado which you can find on our website here. The review included a study by the National Institute for Transportation and Communities which you can find here . We know ebikes will be an increasing part of our transportation future, so no matter where you stand, or sit, on them, you should take the time to see what studies are available to help you form your opinion!

HB306, which reduces the role the Public Service Commission has in permitting small shuttle services, has passed both Houses by large margins and is on its way to the Governor’s desk, hopefully to be signed. Thanks to the bill’s sponsor Representative Moffie Funk and Vigilante Shuttle owner Kurt Valiton, whose strong testimony cleared the way in both House and Senate committees.

You can use the links to each bill on our online legislative tracker here to see a bill’s status. We will do our best to keep the tracker current in these fast changing times and will alert you if any major opportunities for your action seems to be needed. Your communications as citizen advocates with legislators have and will make a difference.

Some of this will be supporting broadband connections for our rural communities, these linear installations could also provide great ROWs for trails as well! Again, if that could even just be allowed, our communities could make that decision when directing the funding.

We are in challenging political times but that is nothing new to the active transportation community. Rather than be discouraged, look back 20 or even 10 years and see the progress individuals, organizations and communities have made in providing for bicycling and walking. And then, look ahead 10 years, see what your home town and Montana could be, and then, and most importantly, help make that happen!!e that happen!!

Bike Walk Helena News

February 2021

Greetings to our Helena Bike Walk Montana members. You also make up Bike Walk Helena, which rather than a separate stand alone non-profit, is an affiliate of our state-wide group, with Helena’s interests covered through two board members from Helena. Doug Habermann is now sharing Bike Walk Montana executive director responsibilities with Bonnie Fedchock, who is quickly assuming full duties as executive director, a process that will finish after the legislature ends and Bonnie completes her probationary period in May. Bonnie lives in Bozeman and we are going to a virtual office format with staff working remotely.

Doug will focus on Bike Walk Helena activities at that point while still providing support to Bonnie and the Bike Walk Montana board as a volunteer. The city's easement with Montana Rail Link for the Centennial Trail is almost complete. We are beginning the process of designing, funding and building a bridge at Henderson to eliminate the steep and loose gravel crossing there. We hope to partner with Queen City Wheel House on a spring bike swap, hold the second annual Community Gardens ride next fall, and continue to support our local Non-Motorized Transportation Advisory Committee as they help Helena become a safer and more accessible place to walk, bike and stroll.

Thanks to all of you who have continued to support us in this challenging time. Please visit our website at bikewalkmontana.org  and consider making an additional donation, or encourage your friends to join, to help us continue. We see a positive future for Helena and plan on being part of it!

5-Point Intersections & Corridor Connections Multimodal Traffic Study

We are urging you to take a look at the draft study regarding the major corridors and 5 point intersections and make your comments known. Comments on the draft study are due by Friday, February 19, 2021, to Project Manager Scott Randall by email at srandall@rpa-hln.com, by phone at 406-447-5005, or by mail at 3147 Saddle Drive, Helena, MT 59601. Along with providing input during the early part of the study, we have made additional comments which you can see here (will need link).

Here is the City’s description of the project:

“After seeking public input in Sept. 2020, the City of Helena has developed a draft multimodal traffic study to address safety, operations, access, and connectivity needs at the Lyndale Avenue/Montana Avenue/Helena Avenue and Last Chance Gulch/Helena Avenue/Neill Avenue five-point intersections and corridors connecting the Downtown and Midtown areas of Helena. 

The two five-point intersection have non-standard layouts and geometrics. The configurations can cause driver confusion and impact operating efficiency, particularly during peak hours. Past studies have identified concerns regarding safety, the lack of suitable non-motorized infrastructure, and access to businesses. Improvements to Last Chance Gulch through the Downtown area have also long been discussed. Improvement options and recommendations from past planning documents vary, but in general, they have envisioned Last Chance Gulch as a complete street that accommodates multimodal traffic, integrates green infrastructure and streetscaping, and maintains the existing character of the area.

Recommended improvements are intended to address areas of concern identified through evaluation of transportation and environmental conditions in the study area and to reflect the needs and desires voiced through public and stakeholder outreach. The improvements offer a range of short-term and long-term strategies to facilitate travel within and between the Downtown and Midtown areas of Helena by supporting modal choice, improving the function and circulation of key intersections, enabling access for disabled individuals, and providing enhanced comfort and visual appeal for all users while minimizing impacts to adjacent properties and land uses, aligning with the community vision, and enabling reasonable, feasible implementation.”

Bike Walk Adds Interim Executive Director

Since our last e-letter in September, a lot has happened! We partnered successfully with Montana Healthy Communities on an online mini-summit, we have been participating in a MDOT/legislative working group on shared use path funding and possible legislation, we did a candidate survey, we held a virtual board retreat, and we are now organizing a great ride event in July. We were successful in securing CARES Act funding for both adaptability and ongoing operations.

We have also brought on board Bonnie Fedchock as our Interim Executive Director. Bonnie and Doug Habermann will share Executive Director duties for the next six months, with Doug continuing to focus on programs, policy, the legislative session and Bike Walk Helena activities. Bonnie has jumped into the administrative and development side of things, as well as getting up to speed with our board and starting to learn of our many partners, challenges and our critical advocacy work.

We will be moving to a virtual office, with Bonnie living in Bozeman and Kris Bergman and Doug continuing to work in Helena. Kris already had gone to a home office situation, Doug will as well although we are looking for a small, inexpensive office option in Helena. please contact Doug at doug@bikewalkmontana.org if you have any options for that. We will continue to have educational materials available by request and will maintain our Pop Up Project trailer for any Montana communities that could use them to do a temporary traffic calming installation.

We are reducing our costs, to allow us to fund more advocacy efforts and continue to get our marquee programs such as Walking School Buses, Trails RX and Bike Rodeos on line with resources any one or community can take advantage of. We are maintaining our local, statewide and national contacts and continuing to be your voice for walking, rolling and bicycling.

Please consider making an end of the year donation to help carry us into and through 2021, supporting our many efforts. You can do so at our website.

You can contact Bonnie or Doug. We are glad to hear from you if you have any suggestions or questions!

Cofflaw Bicycling: Illegal But Rational

As we head into the 67th Montana Legislative Session, we will be informing and educating legislators as they consider any legislation affecting bicyclists. We are working on several bills regarding bicycles and funding for infrastructure to provide safe active transportation. We sometimes hear from a legislator about improper, illegal or bothersome riding that they have seen or heard about. This interesting and well researched paper examines rule-breaking bicyclists and the factors associated with such behaviors. Nearly 18,000 respondents participated in this study which asks “are bicyclists making rational, albeit illegal, choices—similar to most drivers and pedestrians—or are bicyclists reckless and dangerous?

See the paper, published by the Journal of Transport and Land Use and an article from the excellent resource Cycling West.

Hike The Hill -- Advocacy Opportunity for Trails

Attention all trail advocates! Here is a great opportunity to join in a national effort to secure more support and funding for trails. And you all know that’s needed!

Now in its 24th year, Hike the Hill® is a joint effort between the American Hiking Society and the Partnership for the National Trails System to bring together the trails community to advance shared trail priorities with congressional and federal agency leaders including trails funding, public lands management, Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI), and other top priority issues that sustain trails and improve access to public lands.

Please check this out and consider being be a part of a national effort!
