Please don't do this project

Please don't make this into a street. We have plenty of north-south connectivity for cars and need to preserve the safe bike-bed corridor that Fowler provides.

A variety of transportation options

Building more through streets allows the vehicular traffic to spread out, making it more inviting to drive more frequently. Hence the construction or widening of roads does NOT lead to less congestion - instead it acutually has the opposite effect because more people drive. This is a well-known phenomenon (refer to the text Suburban Nation by Duany, et al) and we’ve watched it happen in other metropolitain areas around the country. Some of the great qualities those places once had have been spoiled. I hope Bozeman doesn’t aim to spoil the remaining qualities that made it attractive in the first…

Fowler Avenue Connection

I am most interested in a narrow connector that still allows for a shared use, off-street, bike/pedestrian path. Equally important to me is the preservation of all mature trees possible.
