Below is my email to the Bozeman School Board. I believe that this is city issue and you attention to my
email would be greatly appreciated.
Re: Meadowlark Elementary, CJMS, Gallatin HS
All,
I am in need of help for the above mentioned schools.
Personally, we have experienced at least 3 near accidents with pedestrian vs car. Yesterday for example, my
4th grader was crossing Ferguson at Tanzanite. A vehicle stopped for him but the car behind was obviously
impatient and crossed the yellow lines to pass the stopped car. It was divine intervention that I happened
to be home and went outside as my son arrived at the intersection. If I hadn’t started screaming my son
would not have stopped as he was halfway across the street and the car that was passing either heard my
screams or finally saw my son and slammed the breaks. They were literally inches from one another.
Ferguson Ave is a major road for school pedestrians. By my house, it is 35mph and far too fast for these kids
to be riding or walking safely. It is also highly residential from Babcock to CJMS. Cars are constantly passing
in the left lane, passing in the shoulder and the drivers are not safe at times. I also witnessed a high school
and my son get aggressively beeped at just for crossing the road.
I would like to plead for some traffic calming on Ferguson, I just don’t know who I can go to for help. Is it
the district or the city?
I have contacted the police regarding two incidents this year.
Any advice would be great appreciated.
