Comments
Written to the city planners of Bozeman,
To those who are reading this: thank you so much in advance for your time, effort, and consideration. I will
try to be brief so as not to take up more of your time than is necessary, yet I do feel strongly that this
subject is weighty enough for me to voice my concern. In regards to the street work being done on
Cottonwood (Between Durston and Babcock streets), I recently heard that there is not a left-turn lane being
added in to aid the traffic flow into the soccer complex. This worries me considerably, not only as a mother
of four young athletes, but also as a driver, citizen of Bozeman, and as a parent of children that attend
Petra. My husband and I drive that route daily--2 to 3 times--and while we have put up with the massive
potholes and current construction (we are so thankful it is finally getting fixed!!), I cannot fathom why the
current road work wouldn't include turning lane??? There are SO many times that the current situation of
NOT having a turning lane has created massive bottlenecks there, and with the new high school and the
amount of traffic on cottonwood tripling (if not more), I fear that not addressing that situation and adding a
left-hand turning lane Now will only be borrowing trouble for tomorrow. Add high school aged drivers and
traffic for sporting events to the equation and it sounds like a living nightmare. Please!Please, re-assess the
work you are doing there asap, and if there is any way possible for you to add a turning lane to the work
being done now, I do believe (I'm willing to bet on it, though I'm not a gambler!) you will be thanking
yourself within the year. And also for years to come.
I do appreciate your careful consideration and hope you will re-assess the current work being done on
Cottonwood.
Thank you.
Gratefully,
Shannon (and Mike) Woodberry
