Wiegand - Request to Add Agenda Item for November 5th City Commission MeetingFrom:Hanni Wiegand To:Bozeman Public Comment Subject:[EXTERNAL]Request to Add Agenda Item for November 5th City Commission Meeting Date:Monday, November 4, 2024 9:10:54 AM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

I am writing to formally request the addition of an agenda item for the upcoming City Commission meeting on Tuesday, November 5th. This item concerns the installation of a stoplight at the intersection of Sourdough and Kaggy. This intersection has become increasingly hazardous due to high traffic volume and multiple blind spots. The risks at this location are a serious concern for our community, as I personally experienced when I was involved in an accident there with my family earlier this fall. Fortunately, no one was injured; however, the incident underscored the urgent need for preventative action to avoid future, potentially severe accidents. I believe this matter warrants careful discussion and consideration by the Commission, as it directly impacts public safety. Thank you for considering this request. Please let me know if any further information is required to facilitate the inclusion of this item. Sincerely, Hanni H. Wiegand From:Hanni Wiegand To:Bozeman Public Comment Subject:Re: [EXTERNAL]Request to Add Agenda Item for November 5th City Commission Meeting Date:Monday, November 4, 2024 11:11:05 AM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

While all agendas have an opportunity forpublic comment, there is no mechanism in our rules of procedure to allow members of thepublic to “add an item” to an agenda. The three ways that items can be placed on an agenda are: By the MayorBy the City ManagerBy a majority of the City Commission. You are welcome to submit your written public comments and provide public commentsduring the appropriate general comment period at any City Commission meeting. Generally speaking, stoplights, or any other traffic control devices, are an operationalfunction and not in the purview of the City Commission. Typically, for those types ofrevisions, Transportation and Engineering staff would have to conduct a traffic survey tomeasure the necessary mitigation strategies that are appropriate. An additional wrinklerelated to Kagy is the mix of jurisdictional oversight; Kagy Blvd is a State of MontanaUrban route and Sourdough south of that intersection is Gallatin County maintained. Wehave more information available on the Engage Bozeman site. If you have additional questions, please feel free to reach out to me directly. Thank you, Mike Maas, MPA City of Bozeman | 121 N.
