The Idaho Transportation Department is again seeking public comment on improvement projects along U.S. 95 from Dufort Road to Lakeshore Drive, with an upcoming in-person meeting and online comment period.
Those interested in hearing more about the plans and design concept — which have been updated based on previous community input and additional engineering work — are invited to an informational session Wednesday, Oct. 16 between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. at Sagle Elementary School (550 Sagle Road, in Sagle). Meanwhile, online comments will be taken from Oct. 16 through Thursday, Oct. 31 at itdprojects.idaho.gov/pages/us-95-dufort-to-lakeshore.
According to fliers that went out to area residents in early October, ITD “is in a planning process to confirm future improvements” to the highway corridor, which include a reevaluation of the 1999 and 2010 environmental documentation.
