I am going to keep contacting the city regarding the intersection of Oak and Flanders Mill (by GHS). The
design of the intersection was poor to begin with, but made even worse and dangerous by a new traffic
pattern. The signs and barriers to very little to influence what drivers are doing as they speed through that
intersection. Some do follow the pattern, but my concern is that those who do, will get t-boned, or rear-
ended at high speed (and I've seen this "almost" playout as I go for a run nearby). Glass in the road
indicates there have already been accidents. As we get into a new school year, please consider whatever
needs to be done to prevent a bad accident. Take into account the nature of the pattern (confusing,
barriers missing, no meaningful directions with arrows painted on the road), along with the fact that people
text and drive (distracted), do not yield the right of way to pedestrians (rarely), are generally aggressive in
nature, and don't have to take an actual driving test to get a license. This sounds harsh, but it is true. Some
simple observations will validate my feedback before there is a really bad accident.
If you would like to submit additional documents (.pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .gif, .jpg, .png, .rtf, .txt)
along with your comment, you may alternately address agenda@bozeman.net directly to ensure
receipt of all information.
Thank you,
City Of Bozeman
