COEUR d’ALENE – The public is invited to a public hearing Thursday (Feb. 28) on “The Curve” project on U.S. 2, Lake Street to Cedar Street in Sandpoint, the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
The meeting will be at the Tango Café, located at the Panhandle State Bank building in downtown Sandpoint on 5th and Church. The meeting will be an open-house format, with the public invited to drop by anytime between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.
The hearing is meant to gather public comments regarding the improvement project. A hearing officer will be available to take oral testimony, or attendees may provide written testimony.
The Curve project will improve about one-half mile of U.S. 2 from Lake Street to Cedar Street, including the intersection at Boyer Avenue. Several alternatives, including a Preferred Alternative, have been identified.
Construction could begin as early as this summer. It will be constructed using funds allocated by the Idaho Transportation Board.
