Dear Commission,
I am writing today to express my support for appointing Mark Egge to the seat being vacated
by Commissioner Pomeroy.
I have worked with Mark as a citizen volunteer advocating for open space, reasonable housingdensity and public transportation for our city. In every instance he has stood out as someone
who understands the interrelationship of these issues as well as a clear understanding thatBozeman is a unique city embedded in a world class natural landscape and region. Mark
understands that there is a responsibility that comes with living here and that the benefits ourcity and region offer must accrue to all of its residents regardless of income and years of
residency.
Specifically, we need an expert in multi modal and active transportation that is data focusedand recognizes that density without forward thinking land use planning and publicly supported
active transportation systems will not produce the holistic outcomes envisioned by our manyplans and active citizenry. And, in fact has the potential to erase gains and public support for
carbon mitigation, neighborhood development and affordability.
Thank you for considering Mark for this important and timely appointment.
