Makman Re: Glacier Town and Transportation Comment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please make my comments part of the public hearing record for both the
Glacier Mall/Town Center and the new Kalispell Transportation Plan.
* Please support and call for an independent review of the mall
traffic study and bring in an expert to review possible solutions for
the keeping Hwy 93 stoplight free now, before you reach a decision on
the mall.
* Keep Kalispell to Whitefish Safe and Stoplight Free. Uphold
current city and state policies for limited access on US Hwy 93.
Preserve its safe and efficient operation and the special character of
our valley. Require interchanges and similar solutions for growing land
use demands and access in this corridor.
* Also, please put into place standards to ensure that new
development moves forward concurrent with needed transportation
infrastructure to ensure safe and efficient highway and road systems in
the Kalispell area covered by the new Kalispell Transportation Plan
* I support the need for the city and the state to plan for and
identify transportation solutions and options BEFORE development
applications are considered for subdivision review.
Thank you,
