I am the Northern Rockies Director for The Trust for Public Land and am writing to urge your approval of
two items on the City Commission Agenda for Ocotber 13. First, The Trust for Public Land urges approval of
Action Item #2 (additional funds to complete the Front Street Connector Pathway that has been delayed by
MDT’s Rouse Ave reconstruction project). The Rouse project is now complete in that area and The Trust for
Public Land supports the Trails Open Space and Parks (TOP) Committee’s recommendation to provide the
additional funding. TPL also supports City staff’s recommendation that the pathway project be allowed to
proceed. The project has been delayed for over five years and is needed to close a gap in the City’s trail and
path network and provide safe connections between Oak St, Rouse Ave, the Northeast Neighborhood,
Story Mill Community Park, Path to the M and Drinking Horse, and the Public Safety Building being built
now.
I am also writing to urge approval of Action Item #4, which addresses a much-needed trail and pathway
connection, the West Side Pathways and Trails Connection Project. The project seeks to connect
neighborhoods, schools, parks, and workplaces and includes a significant wayfinding component to guide
trail users to their destinations. Trail improvements and some new trails are also part of the project. We
support the recommendation of the TOP Committee to fund the project at the level recommended, at a
minimum, to move this project forward.
If you would like to submit additional documents (.pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .gif, .jpg, .png, .rtf, .txt)
along with your comment, you may alternately address agenda@bozeman.net directly to ensure
receipt of all information.
Thank you,
City Of Bozeman
