RE: Front Street Pathway Connector
Dear TOP Committee:
We would like to express our support for the Front Street Pathway. This project will
not only provide safer connections for the existing pedestrian and cyclist
transportation network, but it will also promote community health by increasing
opportunities for physical activity.
As you may know, HRDC and our partners are in the process of planning a new
mixed-income neighborhood directly east of Story Mill Community Park. Our intent
with Bridger View Redevelopment is to cultivate a healthy, vibrant, energetic and
safe living environment that sustains the rich fabric of Bozeman and fosters pride of
place and good stewardship of homes, neighborhood and community. Walking and
biking is intentionally prioritized over cars in the site design and all 62 porches are
directly linked to a pathway system that also connects to the Story Mill Community
Park, the new Path to the M and the Story Mill Spur Trail. Completion of the Front
Street Pathway links the entire system in this part of town together.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Tracy Menuez
Associate Director
