Please allocate the necessary funding to enable the people on the GAP committee
to continue work on getting a paved bike path from Valley Center to Cherry
Creek! I live in Valley Grove and it is quite dangerous to bike the Frontage road
if I intend to go anywhere toward trails or businesses on the north side of the
Interstate. The citizens working on the plan want at least $90,000 from the TOPfunds used for planning and construction of the Frontage Pathway – and if more
funding becomes available, I hope you send it their way.
The Committee feels that advantages to this route becoming a TOP project are many.Once the two half-mile segments between the Cherry River Fishing Access Site (nearNorth 7th Ave.) and the Valley Center Spur are completed, you will be able to safelyride or run all the way from the “M” to “Four Corners”. Over a hundred miles "MainStreet to the Mountains" trail system and separated paths across Gallatin County willfinally be connected.
Benefits include:
* Safety for cyclists & pedestrians – and even for drivers
* Recreation and Transportation for non-motorized travelers
* Health and Environmental Quality
Thank you for considering this project!
