Subject: EXTERNAL Area Transportation Plan
I worked in and around downtown Kalispell for 30 years. We don't need to facilitate more traffic. If Kalispell is to be a
healthy, progressive place to live into the next decade and beyond, we need to prioritize human -friendly plans.
Please rework the Draft Move 2040 Kalispell Area Transportation Plan to fully support revitalizing Main Street and the
Downtown Plan instead of making Downtown Kalispell a thoroughfare for yet more traffic. Please also give greater
priority in and around Kalispell to providing infrastructure for alternative forms of transportation -- walking, biking, ride
sharing, and bus service as a way to decrease automobile congestion.
If you look to the future with open eyes and minds, this is what will make Kalispell a great place to live and work.
Thanks,
Gil Jordan & Kimberly Pinter
