businesses,organizations,elected officials,andindividuals,we would like to offer our strongest possible support for the Montana Department ofTransportation's application to the U.S.Department of Transportation for BUILD grant funding tocomplete the southern half of the Kalispell Bypass.  \nFor the 25-year period of 1990 to 2015,Kalispell and Flathead County was in the top10%of fastest population growth areas of the country.Over time,traffic counts have growndramatically with visitation at Glacier National Park increasing 45%over the last three years andtotaling 3.3 million visitors in 2017.This growth has resulted in undue congestion and trafficimpediments in and around the county.  \nAs Kalispell is the quickly-growing regional trade center for Northwest Montana,thisproject willhave beneficial impacts on the local and regional transportation system.Furthermore,this proposed project will improve the current traffic congestion points along thesouthern end of the bypass,provide additional safety and quality of life improvements on theU.S.93 corridor by alleviating through traffic from local streets and further the intent to establishdowntown initiatives focused on localized traffic.  \nMost importantly,a four lane alternate bypass route for U.S.93 around the west side ofthe County was considered and approved in a 1994 Final Environmental Impact Study as part ofthe regional improvements to the highway.For these reasons,the Kalispell Chamber and theundersigned urge you to give your most serious consideration and approval for the selection ofthe Kalispell Bypass for BUILD grant support.  \nWarm Regards  \nJoe Unterreiner,President and CEOKalispell Chamber of CommerceConvention and Visitor Bureau  \nBusinesses and Organizations  \n22
