Dear members of the Bozeman City Commission,
Please allocate at least $90,000, or more if available, from the TOP funds for the planning and construction of the
Frontage Pathway.
As an active cyclist in Bozeman for over 20 years, I have experienced diminishment of the number of safe road
routes. As our community has grown and the number of vehicles increased exponentially, and with the widening of
city streets, and the change in traffic patterns, the number of vehicles traveling above posted and safe speed limits
has made cycling on streets and roads hazardous. I routinely encounter raised eyebrows when I admit to riding in
the bike lanes on many of our streets.
The Frontage pathway and other off road pathways are essential to connecting neighborhoods and outlying
communities for non-vehicular commuters and the safety and enjoyment of recreational cyclists and pedestrians.
Thank you!
Judy Lawrence
