Thank you Public Comment from Jacqueline Johnson Aimee Brunckhorst From: Jacqueline S.Johnson <jjohnsonfamily@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2024 1:01 PM To: Kalispell Meetings Public Comment Subject: EXTERNAL Thank you To the council members who voted to revoke : I saw that the CUP was revoked for the warming center in Kalispell. Those people who have homes and businesses near there deserved you all to hear them . Thank you ! I live and am homeowner in downtown Kalispell. Things definitely have changed in our city over the past couple of years - Thanks for doing this. Safety for driving and pedestrians is a huge concern - I just saw that MONTANA is the worst in the country for teen driver ed - And highest for deaths - I still wonder why our city seems to have little to no traffic cops . I was almost run over as a pedestrian a couple of weeks ago. People are not paying attention . Thanks for focusing on the things you are ! Safety and health are basics . The homeless population/vagrants have damaged the town enough . Maybe we can start seeing a safer library/ bike paths/ parks? Loose dogs/off leash dogs still seem huge issue as well- In any case -thanks ! One step in the right direction and I wanted to let you know I am paying attention and would like to use our bike paths and parks and library again ( have not in 2 years or more)(was confronted by knife sharpening man : he was Weilding a knife and sharpening it) on a walk by that trestle - and library visit to use the computer by the front door- I was yelled at by a crazy woman who didn't want anyone using"Her computer ." Scared me and my kids so much . Loose dogs at parks and in stores are a real problem. Those of us who have been bitten and scratched / jumped on cannot feel safe .Why owners do t have to leash their dogs like everywhere else is so unfair to us .And it would be about time to ban dogs from stores . Thankyou ! I was glad to see This vote though . Rambling on about my other comments- i I hope someone is listening to us quiet taxpaying/working folks who have been made to feel unwelcome and unsafe at these public places.
