Community advisory committee meeting Thursday will focus on safety improvements for U.S. 20/Idaho 75 junction
SHOSHONE – The Idaho Transportation Department will hold a community advisory committee meeting Thursday (July 14) to gather additional input about potential future safety improvements for the U.S. 20 and Idaho 75 (Timmerman Junction) intersection. Comments from the meeting will be used to further develop safety alternatives for the project.
The meeting is open to the public and will be held at 10 a.m. at the Blaine County Courthouse (206 1st Ave. South, Suite #300, Hailey, ID 83333). During the meeting, ITD will present and gather input on potential safety improvements being studied for the Timmerman Junction.
“ITD is committed to involving the community in enhancing safety at this critical intersection,” said Project Manager Bruce Christensen. “The advisory committee is an opportunity for our technical team to work hand-in-hand with community members.”
This will be the second meeting of the Timmerman Junction study advisory committee. ITD introduced the study and alternatives at the first advisory meeting in April. A third advisory committee meeting will be held this fall. All meetings are open to the public.
The Timmerman Junction study will allow ITD to identify, evaluate and recommend safety improvement concepts for the intersection. The study will build upon previous improvements and planning efforts, and consider recommendations from previous federal, state and local planning efforts.
Kittelson & Associates Inc., of Boise, is leading the study in close coordination with staff from ITD District 4 and Blaine County.
