To the City Commission,
Hello, my name is Salal Huber-McGee and I am a resident of Bozeman that has lived
on South Church Avenue for the past 20+ years. I would like to request that South
Church Avenue be moved up in the CIP priority list and scheduled with a specific
date. This will not only benefit the antiquated infrastructure that resided beneath thestreet (sewer & water), but additionally it will address the safety improvements that
are desperately needed on a much loved, but highly used collector street
to Downtown Bozeman. We have been working for the last 4 years with the WTI to
create temporary safe pedestrian crossings at the Gallagator Trail crossing, EastStory Street, Bogert Place and Curtiss Street. Perhaps you saw our efforts this year...
As change washes over Bozeman, my request is that we take on the responsibility
to address and reevaluate our public safety and traffic calming shortcomings. South
Church Avenue is the quintessential street to pick to update immediately. We have so
much going on in this hub of our community with highly active trails, Peets Hill, Bogert
Park, Lindley Park, the Bozeman Cemetery, Longfellow School, our only public Pool
(at the moment), the Bozeman Public Library and all the activities that Downtownoffers. A definitive date would give ample time to work together and develop a
common vision with the city and other interested organizations to create permanent
safe pedestrian crossings, calm traffic and update antiquated infrastructure.
Again, I urge you to please schedule South Church Avenue on the CapitalImprovement Projects list.
Thank you in advance. I am grateful for your time to read my email and for all that you
do and the efforts it takes to be in the challenging position you are in.
Merry Holidays,Salal Huber-McGee
332 South Church Avenue
