Thank you for the opportunity to use my voice - which I feel is most important to be used to speak up for
the voiceless.
Some Bozeman Tree Coalition observations/concerns include the following:
The perimeter trail on the very north property line appears to be located within Zone 1 of the
watercourse setback- (green-closest to creek), rather than Zone 2 - (blue) which is generally
prohibited by City code. One suggestion would be to cross creek at earlier point which allows for
the trail to be perpendicular to creek and not in Zone 1 for as long.
A trail bisects the "conservation area" in its widest area (see on Overall Trail Map as #6). Is this
the best way to manage the conservation area? One suggestion would be to remove andrelocate the bisecting trail to the west where it can cross the creek adjacent to the existingaccess road.
There is trail redundancy in the southwest corner of Bikefill near Churn Creek. The perimeter
trail and X-C trail are side by side. One suggestion would be to consolidate the trails to relieve
pressure on Churn Creek.
Could you please address these issues, and take them into heavy consideration during your planning?
Thanks,
Jessica
