My name is Jonathan Hickle and I am a member of Bozeman Matters. I live at 689 Emily Drive, which is only 2
miles away from the Whole Foods site. I am concerned about the traffic increases due to this project, and the city
staff's apparent unwillingness to require Whole Foods to comply with all the traffic regulations. With intersections
like 19th and main, just down the road from the Whole Foods site, already causing problems on my commute,
sometimes waiting multiple green lights to get through the intersection, I am concerned that this project could
increase these problems. I am also a union member with Teamsters Local 2, and am concerned about the quality
of jobs the Whole Foods would provide. I urge the City Staff to look closely at this project before allowing it to
proceed.
