Dear Commissioners:
For the health, safety, and economic well-being of Bozeman, I write to ask you to allocate
funds from the 2022 General Fund Budget for:
(1) building "stand-alone" paths and trails starting in 2022.
And also
2) at least $200,000 towards building a path on City property along Frontage Road
(between Nelson Rd., and Springhill/19th).
It's important to note that people can commute on these bike paths too, especially low-
income workers with unreliable cars, and while I'm happy we have the Streamline bus, a
bike goes a long way toward connectivity between bus stops. With low-wage workers
priced out of the inner core of Bozeman, a bike path to work can expand their job
opportunities beyond those accessible only by car.
Thank you for your time and your service.
Marilyn Guggenheim
