Mr. Al Thelan
Kalispell City Manager
Kalispell, MT 59903
Dear Mr. Thelan,
I am writing this letter to you for several reasons.
First of all, on behalf of the Northwest Montana Historical Society, let me thank you and
the Kalispell City Council for the forthcoming paving of the parking lot on the north side
of the Central School building. This will be a wonderful and greatly appreciated
improvement.
Second, with regard to the design of this lot, we have heard that there are plans to
have an island or two for landscaping purposes. We would like to request that you
consider deleting such islands from the plans.
• Each island probably takes up three to four parking spaces.
• In just the few months that we have been there, we have experienced the
concern of always having to back up while looking to make sure that we don't
back into the existing island.
• From the appearance of the present island, with a missing tie and other signs of
deterioration, it is obvious that the island has probably caused some
experiences of fender damage.
• The island shows considerable deterioration and unsightliness. Islands such as
these normally look good for just the first couple of years or until the first fender
ding occurs.
• The islands unquestionably add to the cost, and we must always try to be
concerned about the taxpayers' outlay.
• I'm sure that your Public Works Department will concur that this type of island
presents additional difficulty and expense with regard to snow removal,
sweeping, and maintenance.
Our last concern will be the striping and allocation of parking on the new lot. We have
assumed that this might be the best time, with the paving soon to take place and with
the museum's use to go into high gear (our first major exhibit begins on April 15), for
us to now make a request for consideration of signage to help with museum parking.
We would greatly appreciate it if the front row (next to the Museum) of this north
parking lot could be reserved for "Museum Parking." Also, we would greatly appreciate
it if the 2nd Avenue East yellow permit signs could now be replaced by "Museum
Parking" signs.
Thank you very much for these considerations. And, again, many thanks to all of you
and to the citizens of Kalispell for this marvelous inclusion for the future of our area.
Just since the first of February we have had over 1,200 people go through the building
for Open House viewing. Our first major exhibit begins on April 15 and, within two
weeks, the Community Room will be all set for ensemble concerts, speakers, film and
slide showings, receptions, recitals, meetings, etc. This facility is fast becoming
Uptown Kalispell's first-class museum and cultural center.
Sincerely
Rick Riley
