BOISE - Public comment is being sought to help identify improvements to Idaho 55 in Valley County, the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
Two identical workshops will be held in Cascade on Thursday, Aug. 27, from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. The workshops will be held at the Ashley Inn, 500 N. Main St.
Participants will have an opportunity to help identify needed improvements to Idaho 55 as part of a corridor study between New Meadows and the Idaho/Oregon/Nevada junction west of Marsing.
The completed study will include an analysis of existing conditions of the highway, a forecast of future demand over the next 20 years, and a list of short and long-term improvements.
As part of the study, the transportation department will analyze safety, traffic, access management, and environmental issues corridor-wide and county-by-county. In addition to public comments, the study will include engineering analysis, and city, county, and agency planning goals.
