Good Morning,
I write this email in support of the grant application to fund the widening and expansion of West Reserve Drive in
Kalispell, MT. This section of roadway has seen an extreme increase of use annually for over a decade. This is a main
artery of our infrastructure here in the Flathead Valley and becomes very bottlenecked multiple times a day, even in the
shoulder seasons. During the summer and peak tourist season, it is a roadway that folks avoid at all costs because it can
take half an hour to go the 3 mile stretch. Kalispell was just named the fastest growing micropolitan city in the United
States, the investment in our infrastructure is not a choice at this time, but a necessity.
Thank you for your consideration in funding this very necessary project.
