The proposed Kagy Boulevard expansion deserves a proper public hearing. The current 4-lane
expansion design would have a number of negative impacts on traffic flow and pedestrian
access to safe pedestrian transport. As numerous studies show, increasing the number of lanes
does not address traffic flow issues beyond 1-2 yrs following the construction of new lanes. I
support a 3 lane design for Kagy Boulevard that is consistent with Bozeman's climate and
community plans - which both offer long-term solutions to population growth and inevitable
needs to provide safe options for people to get where they need to go - which should include
expanding pedestrian lanes and options for people to get to MSU without getting into a car.
Please take the best information on liveable communities into account and shift the Kagy
Boulevard project to focus on a pedestrian friendly 3 lane design.
Thank you,
Dave McWethy
