Subject: EXTERNAL Kalispell Bicycle and Pedestrian System Plan Review January 9th
Members of the Council and Planning Board,
I live at the corner of Crestline and Claremont and have noticed an increase in bicycle traffic in the past two year,
especially e-bikes. I presume many are people on their way to work in the hospital complex here upon the hill.
Now, back in about 2012 and 2013 when the walking/bicycle pathway was being developed along 93, it was projected
to be completed between Bountiful and Wyoming, alongside the golf course by 2017. That got derailed and set aside
for some reason.
I'd like to see that section completed to connect down town with the hospital hill and beyond along the trail on 93.
Those who walk or bike that section of roadway are really in danger, especially in winter when walking the ditch is
impractical.
Keep up your good work.
