Rattlesnake-University Connection

The RUX Trail was constructed to give pedestrians and bikes a safe route to travel from the Lower Rattlesnake neighborhoods to the University of Montana. The 10’-wide asphalt non-motorized trail includes a bridge crossing Rattlesnake Creek. Located between Pine Street at Monroe and Van Buren, it also connects on-street bike routes downtown to the Lower Rattlesnake and the University. Once across Broadway, sidewalk and curb improvements were made and a bicycle lane added to create a safer space for non-motorized traffic to reach the Van Buren Street Bridge.
