Public meeting on Iowa Avenue improvements scheduled for Oct. 2
PAYETTE - A public meeting will be held to gather comments on roadway improvements for Iowa Avenue between Center Avenue and 7th Avenue North, the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council announced.
The meeting will be held in an open house style from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 2, at McCain Middle School, 400 N. Iowa Ave., in Payette. No formal presentation will be made. Displays illustrating proposed improvements to the roadway will be available for review. Project staff will be on hand to answer questions and comment forms will be available. The public is encouraged to attend any time during the three-hour period.
The project starts at the Center Avenue intersection and proceeds north a half-mile to the intersection with 7th Avenue North. With the construction of McCain Middle School, pedestrian traffic along Iowa Avenue has increased. The proposed project will ensure appropriate pedestrian/school zone safety, and will upgrade the roadway to current standards, which includes curb, gutter and sidewalks.
The project is funded through a combination of sources that include Payette County, the City of Payette and the Federal Highway Administration. The project is being administered by the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council and the Idaho Transportation Department.
Those unable to attend the meeting are encouraged to send their comments to: Public Involvement Coordinator, P.O. Box 7129, Boise, ID 83707; or e-mail them to: comments@itd.idaho.gov; or fax to (208) 334-8563. Comments postmarked by Thursday, Oct. 16, will become part of the public record for this project.
A postcard meeting notification was sent last week with the incorrect address for McCain Middle School. The correct address for the school is 400 N. Iowa Ave., Payette, ID.
