Dear City of Bozeman Commissioners,
I am writing today to request that the City of Bozeman consider funding Streamline’s entire $400,000 funding request. I believe public transit is a critical resource in ourcommunity's efforts to address climate change. Public transit also plays an important role in helping our community make progress on its various community plans, including the Cityof Bozeman’s Strategic Plan, Triangle Community Plan, the Bozeman Community Plan, and more.
The additional $100,000 in funding would help Streamline implement new bidirectional routes this fall that will serve a larger portion of our community. It would also enable Streamlineto expand weekend service and operate later in the evenings on weekdays. The City Commission and the public continue to voice their support for more public transportation in theBozeman community. However, the City’s decision to only partially fund Streamline's request implies that expanded public transit is not one of its priorities. Please reconsider fundingStreamline's entire $400,000 request.
Sincerely,
Andrea MichaelAIA, NCARBlove | schacka r c h i t e c t u r ean active design collaborativehttp://secure-web.cisco.com/10gBdgV5scT5x-OKXxKysY_onnp5rkcUyeDU9lP45ilzO0J3TYmLxHF_Ph0qEhp3GzDZNfy1UlyZWVQ_qfrr8rVhB7nUykARJp3ktYq-SCkOOzlDCzINQ2VljV-DM1oSqpdhgT3mayqZZpBbAe7hhO9SIEnT2jQaNNmrfngLVUN6LPKMOKxQhFYXT4zMOdh04ZfGaeB5F0Kr_0mp08JHRc1nWcbM4Nyuzd1TP77hVRmk5vg_ghL32vivMXOmWq_a82rGvoaoVTOP0cw4fv_Z5USl0EkZ6UGpnnokXmXG0KEB7orHtaeinTp5hP3bo1wNs/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.loveschackarchitecture.com406.579.9166amichael@loveschack.com
