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.
The non-stop loud traffic going through Kalispell is frustrating and does not make the downtown very appealing. This
was re -enforced just last week as we sat outside of Sweet Peaks enjoying ice cream cones. Not only is it loud but I hate
to think about the pollution we are subjected to anytime we spend any time in downtown Kalispell.
