Step by step, the Riverfront Triangle agreement is coming together, as Missoula City Council approved several agreements allowing the project to move forward Monday night.

Most important to many Missoulians — unanimous approval of an agreement requiring a 10-foot-wide riverfront trail through the property, as well as a north/south trail connection to West Broadway.

Parks and Recreation staff will have approval over the final design of the trail and a small city-owned portion of the development that will be a riverfront park, according to the land use agreement.

An amendment regarding affordable housing in the development was added by Ward 4 representative John DiBari Monday night, which also passed unanimously after the developers agreed to the terms of the discussion.

“It’s going to take a for-profit entity, which we are, a nonprofit entity and the city to make it work,” said developer Jim McLeod, adding, “We don’t have a problem with it.”

The agreement will be “addressing the appropriate mix of multi-income housing that will be provided” in the apartments to be built across Front Street from the hotel and conference center.
