Lisa Kirk- Bogert HOA- The HOA has been working for a couple weeks on a plan to help with the trash, parking, and crime in our area due to the over parking. The HOA would like to start looking at getting a Residential District set up. The HOA is worried that the new parking plans for downtown will push more cars into the residential areas. This being said, the Bogert HOA would like some direction from the Bozeman Parking Commission (BPC). Cory Lawrence (24 W. Mendenhall). Cory wanted to let the BPC know that he pulled the fence back to reopen the parking lot. At this time, he has repainted and re-patched the lot. With this the sidewalk has been opened also.
