Hi all,
I just wanted to voice my concern for the proposed Blueline development for SW Bozeman off of Fowler.
I'm 100% for affordable housing, and I don't mind the development location adjacent to the Meadow
Creek neighborhood, although I'm sure a lot of our neighbors are up in arms about it.
Affordable housing is really needed in town. Regardless of what current open space it goes in, I think you
are going to get an earful.
What I would really like to see is a city plan for public transit to support the neighborhood when/if it goes
into place, which I don't believe there is. Also the people there need appropriate bike/pedestrian
infrastructure to support the neighborhood, and also real traffic mitigation to aid in the increased traffic
that will undoubtedly come through Meadow Creek and also improvements to Fowler to aid the traffic
heading out that way as well. Currently Fowler is underdeveloped and the exit using Graf to S. 19th will
quickly become the main thoroughfare to the east.
Also, I'd like to see the developer build in some kind of addition to the existing park on the west end of
Meadow Creek. Since the folks that move into any development on that property would obviously use the
existing park.
Thanks for your time,
Dan Stebbins
