Rodwick Re: Glacier Mall/ Transportation PlanDear City Council Members,
My wife and I are long-time valley residents and not
opposed to reasonable growth. However, the
transportation and road congestion piece of the mall
development north of town concerns us greatly. Please
adopt the proposals made by the Citizens group that I
have pasted below. There is absolutely no reason to
rush into this and when I read in the paper that we
owe it to Mr. Wolford to get this done I can't believe
that anyone would say that and jeopardize the quality
of what we have here in the valley so that he does not
get angry, frustrated or whatever.
Thank you,
John Rodwick

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.
