City -
I have lived in Bozeman since 1983. I have had a business in the old Bozeman Hotel for over
23 years and have clients visit me on a regular basis. I dont have to tell the city of Bozemanthe struggles we all have with parking downtown. Losing the parking on the north side of the
business without doubt will negatively impact my visitors and the amount of foot traffic I willsee and my bottom line. Loss of parking will impact all the businesses in the building - the
majority of which rely on visitors.
Matt Paine, Rob Pertzborn and the City of Bozeman know better how this willnegatively impact all of us who have lived and worked in this building - many who have been
in the building for decades. Imagine the Pain Group, Intrinsic and the City of Bozemanindividual parking being taken away for a building designed for folks who come for an
overnight stay. I guess the City, the Pain group and Rob Pertzborn figure we dont amount tomuch and are counting on the folks who can afford to spend a night in this new luxury hotel to
turn this town around and have it amount to something. Make no mistake, this is a clear andloud statement of who belongs downtown and who does not - who the city will make room for
and who they will not.
Don't let this development happen at the expense of all the business that exist in the BozemanHotel, you all can do better and we all know it. We rely on you to prevent bad ideas from
negatively impacting local people and existing businesses, many of which have been aroundfor a long time and enrich the downtown experience.
Cheers,
Charlie
