I have lived here for 30 years, I'm not a local, I am a transplant like almost everyone who lives
here now, this is because the look of Bozeman is changing. No more the beautiful olddowntown look, it's starting to show signs of chaos. No more is there interest in the
community, no more is there interest in open space, "Big Sky Country", Ha! -No more isthere a way to just visit downtown to show off to friends and family. Can't park, well you can,
but you have to fill the streets of the neighborhoods! No more are the stores worth visitinganyway. (well the Country Bookshelf is worth it) I don't see any improvements to our City, I
just see chaos.Please, if you have any interest in making Bozeman a beautiful place to visit, keep downtown
to itself. People don't need hotels right next to the main street!? Isn't this a healthy location forthose out of city folks to come to breathe fresh air?? Keep the open space open!! Instead of
building more, $$$ for the city, put in a few parks, fix our crazy bike system, connect thesidewalks for heaven sake!, make it safe to walk or ride a bike through town and out of town!
It's a beautiful place to make it even more desirable if you listen to the people who actuallylive here.
