Dear Members of the Bozeman Transportation Board and City Commissioners,
I'm writing to applaud the long-standing efforts of our City Staff in doing the necessary
legwork toward the infill project in the unfinished corridor of Fowler Avenue. This necessaryconnectivity piece to our transportation network is an excellent opportunity to highlight the
City's Complete Streets initiative and hopefully employ some unique pedestrian and bikefriendly solutions.
The North-South connectivity within the City of Bozeman is generally effective but attention
will of course need to be paid to how this new corridor connects with the existing trail networkin the City Park. The East-West Durston and Oak bicycle lane/routes are immediately
adjacent but close attention needs to be paid to whatever other East-West access corridors thisproject will open up. Particularly some slower speed, young-person/less advanced rider routes
that may present themselves.
I support the installation of roundabout intersections within the new construction corridor ofthis project for auto traffic but request the additional bicycle lanes be installed to flow with
traffic as opposed to the dismount/re-mount solution such as what we have at 11th andCollege.
Sincerely,
Sam Haraldson211 Lindley Pl
