Dear City Commission:
I'm writing to respectfully oppose to the expansion of Kagy Ave. to four lanes between 19th
Ave and Willson. I'm linking to two recent opinion pieces published in the BozemanChronicle. I could not agree more with the points outlined in both of these op-eds.
Implementation requires money where your mouth is
Widening Kagy to avoid 'rush 15 minutes' too costly
I am a 38-year-old full-time working mother living in Bozeman, and my preferred mode oftransportation is walking and biking. Yet, I often don't feel safe crossing at some downtown
cross walks or even in the pedestrian walkways at some downtown stop lights. We have a longways to go in terms of Bozeman's walking and biking infrastructure. More people would walk
and bike if they felt safe doing so. Please put taxpayer dollars into making our city safer forbikers and pedestrian traffic rather than into unnecessary lane expansion projects, which
would only encourage more driving.
Sincerely, Chelsi Moy
