We are commenting because we oppose the Shady Glen project. We often walk the trails in this area as do people
from all over Bozeman. The meadow that will be destroyed by this development is a place where we often see
wildlife because it is partially a wetland. We often see cranes, deer and sometimes pheasants and grouse/partridge as
well as eagles and hawks.This development will not only be a disruption to wildlife but it will also be a disruption to
the local neighborhood and to others who frequent the trail system.
We don’t think the city should make compromises to this developer when serious access issues are involved and a
fragile habitat that has already been squeezed and fractured by previous development and has added noise and
congestion to what was once a quiet place. As the city grows the East Gallatin recreation area and its numerous trails
will become more and more valuable to its citizens. Again, the city should not compromise its well-reasoned
development regulations and risk compromised public safety and deterioration of a natural area important to wildlife
and Bozeman citizens.
Thank you,
