Fehlhaber Re: Stoplights on 93?!!Dear Kalispell City Council Members,
Please continue to oppose the installation of ANY more stoplights on
highway 93 in conjunction with the development of the Glacier Town
Center/Mall!! (or Riverdale, for that matter.) I commute regularly on
HIGHWAY 93 to FVCC, and my husband also does for work. Now that the
HIGHWAY is being vastly improved in terms of flow and SAFETY, let's not
backpeddle with a short-sighted show of weak leadership and clutter the
HIGHWAY with miscellaneous traffic lights! The Town Center - what an
oxymoron!! - is not a public facility, and citizens should not be forced
to submit to its overreaching influence on our main arterial HIGHWAY. I
also believe that more stoplights will create a significant safety
hazard for motorists traveling at HIGHWAY speed. I suppose we could turn
the entire stretch of HIGHWAY 93 into a 45 mph zone... please don't!
Drawing from experience at 93 and Reserve, any accidents will be deadly
and essentially close the entire thoroughfare to traffic in both
directions. I call that unnecessary risk and self-defeating. Please
remember that the operative word here is "HIGHWAY 93", not "Wolford
Lane," and that citizens, businesses and EMS/fire/police all rely on a
functioning connector between our communities and resources. I trust you
will stand your ground on this issue.
Respectfully,
Heidi Marcum
