RE: TCC RECOMMENDATION REGARDING ADOPTION OF A COMPREHENSIVE
SIDEWALK POLICY
Dear Ms. Jacobson and Members of the Commission:
The Bozeman Area Transportation Coordinating Committee (TCC) understands that representatives of
your Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Committee, led by Mr. Ralph Zimmer, will be addressing the
Commission on January 20, 2009, to discuss the need for a comprehensive City sidewalk program.
In action taken at its special meeting on December 17, 2008, TCC members voted unanimously to
encourage the City Commission “…to adopt a comprehensive policy on sidewalk installation,
maintenance, and replacement.” In discussing this motion, TCC members commented on the
appropriateness of such a policy in light of the Updated Greater Bozeman Area Transportation Plan, with
its significant commitment to, and emphasis on, non-motorized travel.
Thank you for your consideration of this request, and please let me know if TCC can be of any assistance
in developing a comprehensive sidewalk policy for the City.
Sincerely,
Andrew Epple, AICP
