Dear Mr. Mayor and Commissioners,
Please act to improve the safety of Bozeman’s streets for walking and biking by increasing the
Annual Bike Path Improvement Capital Improvement Program (CIP) line-item by $50,000.
Last year there were four tragic crashes that killed or injured bicyclists or pedestrians.The need for better bicycle infrastructure will be amplified by the coronavirus crisis, as fewer
people will use transit and more people will face economic hardship and seek affordable, safe,alternative modes of transportation.
This modest increase will provide urgent, necessary resources to retrofit older streets to meet
modern safety standards.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,Kelly Pohl
