While we all need to be conscious of added congestion and egress issues north of the viaduct, Flathead Families for Responsible Growth supports this project as proposed, with the affordable housing commitment and a satisfactory plan to address the stormwater runoff concerns raised by the neighbors. We want to commend the Whitefish Corridor Project for including affordable and workforce housing that is so needed in our Whitefish Community.
At the same time, we encourage the City to maintain a long view and look carefully and critically at any developer’s requests for exceptions that result in additional density. We strongly recommend that given the congestion already existing, the City must determine how much more development can take place north of the viaduct given the current and foreseeable status of our transportation system. This is one of the issues that will define our future.”
