Payette County - Identical public workshops will be held in Fruitland on Sept. 29 and Payette on Sept. 30 to inform the public of the U.S. 95 Corridor Study and allow participants to give input, the Idaho Transportation Department announced. The locations and times of the workshops are as follows:
A formal presentation will begin immediately at the start of each workshop to explain the study process and goals. Afterward, participants will be invited to discuss issues, concerns and ideas.
The completed corridor study will include an analysis of the existing conditions on the highway; a forecast of future demand over the next 20 years; and a list of short and long-term improvements to this section of U.S. 95. The document will address the course of the highway as a whole and on a county by county basis. The plan will be based on community input, engineering analysis, and city, county and agency visions for the future.
