Safety Concerns Prompt Consideration for Vigilante Parade Route Changes in Helena

Helena's City Manager, Tim Burton, is considering modifying the route of the century-old Vigilante Parade, traditionally held on Last Chance Gulch Walking Mall, citing public safety concerns. The proposal includes selecting from three predetermined routes to facilitate better access for emergency vehicles and accommodate the growing size of events. Despite the safety rationale, the potential change has sparked significant public debate and concern over preserving tradition. A decision is to be made following further discussion among city commissioners and community feedback, with an administrative meeting scheduled for March 19.

Thousands of Montanans start their day with Good Day Helena

“Reading the newsletter has become a really positive daily habit for me. I read it while drinking my coffee and planning the day. It saves me a ton of time, but it's really enjoyable too. It's great to have the news filtered down to just a handful of critical events everyday that actually matters to me. I also like reading the community profiles. They interview people locally like teachers, politicians, and small business owners. It's hard to find this anywhere else.”

“This newsletter is like a lifeline. I don't have the attention span these days to read the paper, and Facebook is a mess. This newsletter keeps me informed, without taking the whole day from me.”

“I like how this newsletter keeps me connected with our community. It's great to have a dedicated source that focuses on what's going on locally. So many news companies are focused on huge attention-grabbing national headlines. But, besides the entertainment value, it's not really relevant to my day-to-day. Also it's great the newsletter is free.”

Business Owner

“I'm a parent, and it's apparent how busy that makes me. I LOVE newspapers (especially the smell), but I never have time to read it anymore. So thank god this newsletter exists, and I can read it in a few minutes. If anything is really critical or catches my eye, I can always spend more time reading into each piece of news, but it isn't usually necessary.”

“I moved away a few years ago. I use the newsletter to keep one foot in the town I grew up in, and my friends and family continue to live in. It keeps me connected to my hometown, and I look forward to reading it quickly every morning.”
