Bozeman City Commission,
It has come to my attention that in your upcoming budget discussions you will set aside only
$50,000 for bicycle safety. Given the recent death of four cyclists, plus many injured, and thefact that the city, despite calling itself "bicycle-friendly" has almost no safe infrastructure for
cyclists, I would hope you'd give this much more serious consideration. When will Bozemanbegin to realize that bicycles are not "alternative" transportation? Riding a bicycle to work or
to go shopping is simply transportation, and should be on equal footing with cars and buses. The rest of the world is evolving this way. When will Bozeman catch up?
