As a resident of the south Bozeman (Kagy and Willison) neighborhood for the last 6 years and
a faculty member at MSU, I vehemently oppose the expansion of Kagy to 4 lanes. Rather, I
think the monies could be put to better use by creating a bike lane and wide pedestrian
walkway from 11th-19th. That stretch of Kagy is currently dangerous for non-motorized
commuters and creating a bike/walkway would connect the already existing paths on on Kagy
west of 11th and the paths along 19th. Rather than making it easier for more cars, let's make it
easier for Boseman residents to choose non-motorized transportation. This is especially
important near a campus where there are many bikers and pedestrians.
Sincerely,
Mikaela
