EXTERNAL Sept 7th City Council Meeting
Dear City Council,
As a building/business owner of Kalispell I want to encourage you, in your adoption of the Move 2040 Kalispell Area
Transportation Plan, to support revitalizing Main Street by making it a three -lane road instead of making Downtown 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.
Downtown areas are a vital part of any community. The history of downtown Kalispell and its beautiful buildings, should
be preserved and enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. You can't replace that history and not making downtown easily
accessible and an enjoyable experience would be devastating to the future livelihood of the businesses and all that goes
with making a town thrive.
With the population growth and the natural traffic that goes with that, there's not a better time to look forward and
envision what a great downtown Kalispell could have if proper planning is given for the future.
Sincerely,
Nicole James
Sage & Cedar
