Re: Cottonwood & Ida Preliminary PUD, Application #18516
Dear City Commission,
My name is Pete MacFadyen and I have lived at 314 North Wallace for over 15 years now. I’m
so proud of the city for the excellent work that was completed on our street two summers ago
now with the traffic circles and general calming measures. I hear lots of folks complain but at
the end of the day as a resident the calming measures are working.
Today I am writing to express my support for the Cottonwood & Ida project. Undoubtedly it will
bring more traffic both cars and humans to our street but I must say being part of a community
far outweighs the impact of increased traffic. I’ve looked at the plans and love that it offers
‘affordable & attainable’ housing to members of our community. The design is also very
attractive (at least to my eye) and I believe it will serve to bring people together. With the
addition of the Wild Crumb and Treeline Coffee my family and I have seen nothing but
increased vitality in our neighborhood. There is something great about people on foot walking
to pick up a loaf of bread or to grab a cup of coffee. In general this means that people look up
and say hello which, of course, is one thing everyone loves about Bozeman.
Please feel free to reach out to me if you have questions about my comments. But I wanted to
let you all know that I think it’s a great idea and I look forward to watching our community
continue to transform in positive and well thought out ways.
Sincerely,
Pete MacFadyen
