meeting to discuss U.S. Highway 95 on Bonners
Ferry's South Hill |
July 22, 2015 |
A public hearing will be held Wednesday, August
5, to accept comment on plans to improve the
section of U.S. Highway 95 that runs through the
South Hill area of Bonners Ferry, the Idaho
Transportation Department announced.
The department is working on a preliminary
design for this section of the highway. The
design will continue a three-lane concept north
from Alderson Lane to Madison Street, and will
address pedestrian safety, vehicle safety,
stormwater runoff, alignment of city street
intersections, and consistency of roadway
configuration through town.
The public hearing will be Wednesday, August 5,
from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Boundary
County Middle School, 6577 Main Street in
Bonners Ferry. Those interested in attending can
stop by that day anytime between 3:00 p.m. and
7:00 p.m.
At the hearing, displays will illustrate
information on right of way, a typical roadway
cross section and intersection modifications.
Project staff will be available to answer
questions, and those interested in submitting
verbal comments can have their input recorded by
a hearing officer.
For additional information, please contact Ben
Ward, ITD District 1 project manager, at
ben.ward@itd.idaho.gov or at (208) 772-1285.
