Subject:HRDC"s Homeless Shelter at 3025 Westridge Drive Bozeman MT 59715
Date:Monday, November 04, 2019 11:43:07 AM
To whom it may concern,
I am writing this email to express my dissatisfaction with the idea that a homeless shelter could have
been approved for HRDC at the 3025 Westridge location. I understand the need, but the location is
terrible being well over .25 mile from the nearest sheltered public transit stop. HRDC got a head of
themselves in purchasing this home for this use, should have received the approval prior to
purchasing the home. We live a block away from this house and not only will it be unsafe for our
neighborhood given the very large number individuals that will temporary move into the area are
not screened by HRDC but also that location is already a traffic jam in morning and at night with kids
and cars, even though HRDC says that they will buss them in at 7am my daughter and many other
children are walking right by that house prior to school and well after school is dismissed due to
before and after school programs. This neighborhood was zoned R1 for good reason, and changing
it will have serious implications on the safety in the neighborhood and on the elected officials that
may grant a change in the zoning.
Putting a homeless shelter in this neighborhood is a terrible idea and I request that this new zoning
is not approved and that HRDC find an alternate location, as there are obviously other options
besides in one of the most expensive real estate areas in Bozeman.
Best Regards,
W. DAN CRAMER
