The section between Oak and Main is zoned 100% residential and has houses within feet of where a road would be put in. The engineers have heard comments from the beginning of their public surveys that we would like to see a stop sign design option, (just like the rest of the N. to S. running residential roads on Durston and Babcock) and we would like to see a 2 lane option. Please look at the section of Fowler running S. of Durston. This is a very reasonable option and was approved and allowed when those houses were built on that corridor. We have numerous examples of busy main arteries in Bozeman that are 2 lanes and 25 mph, (for example Peach Street from 7th to Broadway). We should not have a residential road with a speed limit over 25 mph. We do not need intersections with giant roundabouts and stop lights adding to the congestion of Durston and Babcock. Stop signs work just fine and go with what was already approved and exist on the current section of Fowler I mentioned above. Please walk the entire project and take note of how close all the houses are to the proposed Fowler Street. If the city had this project in the plans for so long they should have done a better job of requiring proper setbacks of houses. A 2 lane option will also cost less in construction costs and maintenance and snow removal. Funds that are not used for this project can be spent on other road projects.
