As a former member of the Bozeman Bicycle Advisory Board, I know how long the Frontage Pathway
project has been in process. There needs to be SAFE ways for bicyclists to get from Bozeman to
Belgrade. Frontage Pathway needs at least design, a finished feasibility study, and rail right-of-way
negotiation. This will unlock the key to move forward.
With the HELP Center moving to Haggerty, and more development happening all the time, the
Haggerty Path/Sidewalk needs to be built
for those on foot or bicycle. As a retired nurse, I know there will be folks walking to the mental health center
when the move in is complete.
PLEASE reconsider and put the funding back into the CIP FY25 budget. I know there are many
demands on our funds, but based on th positive impact the trail from Story Mill Park to the M has
made, these are wise investments in our community.
Sincerely,
Rachel Rockafellow
