Dear Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and City Commissioners,
I would like to begin by thanking you all for the hard work you do to improve and develop our community.
It is a pleasure knowing that our local government is managed in the right hands.
I am writing to you today to put forth a proposal for discussion and hopefully implementation (at some
point). There are amber flashing LED lights on Kagy that students can activate for crosswalk safety when
attending school at MSU. They are exceptional for providing safety day and night and raising driver
awareness. It is my hope and the hope of many other students that such a flashing system can be
implemented at the crosswalk on Lincoln St crossing the 4 high speed lanes on S. 19th. Even during the
daytime students often cannot cross 19th safely as one car may stop while folks whiz by in the other three
lanes. This hazard is exacerbated during the 5pm rush hour and at night in low visibility. Often times
students get stranded on the divider in the middle of 19th while cars continue flying past without stopping.
Although the crosswalk is marked and there are large signs, nobody takes note of the crosswalk. It would be
a tremendous safety benefit to re-assess the crosswalk there and perhaps install the flashing LED lights for
that area.
Thank you Kindly for your consideration regarding this safety issue.
Best,
Joakim Sandor (Montana State University Student and Bozeman Resident)
Thank you,
City Of Bozeman
