Dear City Commissioners,
I am writing to you to convey my extreme opposition to the widening of Kagy. I work at MSU and live near theuniversity in the Figgins Addition neighborhood. I bike or walk to work everyday. My kids often cross Kagy to goto the convenience store or to ride their bikes to the library on the Galligator Trail. The last thing in the world ourcommunity needs right now is to spend an exorbitant amount of money on something that will do nothing toimprove the community, but will only work to destroy the fabric of our everyday experience. Widening Kagy willonly cause drivers to drive faster, it will make it far more dangerous for students, staff, faculty and neighborhoodkids to cross Kagy. How on earth are you planning to pay for this? The wise, prudent choice for the commissionwould be to vote down this horrible idea and to invest in pedestrian/bike friendly safety improvements so that webecome less dependent on cars. I urge you to vote against this unwise measure and instead focus on makingBozeman a more livable, sustainable and pedestrian friendly community.
Thank you in advance for your common sense, fiscally responsible decision making.
