Dear Bozeman City Commissioners,
In your deliberations about Bozeman’s present and future, please prioritize sustainability,
water, open space, and community. This crazy, out-of-control growth our town is experiencing
runs completely counter to those goals of sustainability and community. And Bozeman
residents are NOT in line with it. We are shocked at how our town has been transformed into
a soulless mess. We are concerned about water shortages; vanishing open space; the loss of
community; incessant traffic; the loss of wetlands, wildlife and trees; ever higher taxes; the
loss of Bozeman’s history and sense of its past; and, an unsustainable future. Please reread
Ellen Trygstad’s letter from 23 January 2024 which you will find in the public comments folder
Canyon Ferry to Bozeman. I agree with everything she says and share her concerns. The
residents of Bozeman are asking you to listen to us and to slow growth way down before we
lose our community completely.
Sincerely,
Kiki Leigh Rydell
