We live around the corner from 701 N Montana at 621 N Bozeman Avenue.
The entire Northeast neighborhood is a walking neighborhood. It derives much of its charm from its walkability. It
has been the long practice that whenever significant renovation on a property is done that also includes adding
sidewalks in the long term effort to 'complete' the walkability on every part of every block in this historic area.
I believe the approval of the plans on 701 N Montana included an agreement to add sidewalks where they are
missing. Given the increased traffic through this neighborhood sidewalks also add to our collective safety.
Somehow wanting to renege on the specific commitment made when getting building plans approved and on the
general program of completing the sidewalk network in the neighborhood goes against the neighborly values on
which the northeast neighborhood is based.
Therefore we oppose the Application 24655.
Sincerely,
Julia and Chris Shaida
