Bozeman City Commissioners,
I am writing today on behalf of the almost 2,000 members of the Southwest MontanaMountain Bike Association. Our membership with the support of our board of
directors strongly supports TOP funding for the Frontage Pathway between Belgrade andBozeman.
This trail is a key missing link between the two valley population centers and provides safe
human-powered transportation between the two towns. This will cut down on traffic and car-bike collisions, making our community more sustainable and a lot safer.
In addition and most importantly for our membership, the Frontage Pathway will provide
Belgrade's growing community with active, healthy recreation choices. The pathway willconnect that vibrant community with the Path to the M, the Bridger Foothills trail, trails
throughout Bozeman, and even to Triple Tree and the public lands beyond. It would serve asan invaluable recreational asset and is the next step in making the Gallatin Valley truly bike-
friendly.
Thank you,David
