Subject:Comments on Bozeman’s Growth Plan
Dear Lacie,
My name is Emily Allison and I was raised here in Bozeman. I am 31 years old and care deeply about the future
of Bozeman. Here are my comments I would like you to pass along regarding Bozeman’s Growth Plan.
1. Support preserving open space and prioritizing infill and increased density.
2. Support multi-modal transportation, including walkability, bike lanes, and public transportation. New
development should walkable, bikeable, and accessible by transit.
3. Establish an urban growth boundary—or the equivalent: focus development on lands within the
boundary and preserve open space and agricultural lands outside the boundary.
4. Ensure that Bozeman’s growth policy prioritizes reducing climate emissions, and is consistent with the
City of Bozeman’s Climate Action Plan.
5. I value healthy landscapes and waterways, and want to see our communities’ development plans and
rules prioritize those shared values. I urge you to support the inclusion of Low Impact Development and Green
Infrastructure policies in Bozeman’s Growth Plan.
Best,
Emily
