Dear Lacie,
I'm writing to comment on the update to Bozeman's growth policy. I applaud the city's recognition that it needs
to update the policy, and I hope that, within the new policy, the following considerations will be prioritized:
Supporting open space through increasing densities where houses already exist and supporting infill;
Supporting the development of walkable/bikeable neighborhoods, which we are sorely lacking currently.
We own a home near the fairgrounds and it is difficult for us to get to swim lessons at Lone Mountain
with our 5 year old biking because there are no bike lanes/sidewalks.
Reducing emissions, including through emissions from new developments.
Prioritizing low-impact development and green infrastructure policies.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,
Anne Gage
