Public invited to online public meeting for I-15/US-20 Connector August 6-24
RIGBY- The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) will host its fourth public meeting for the Interstate 15/US-20 Connector study – this time via an online format due to Coronavirus concerns.
The meeting will be available for review and comment online at http://i15us20connector.com from August 6-24, with comments due no later than Aug. 25, 2020.
The online meeting is an opportunity for the public to review the Planning and Environmental Linkages Study (PEL) Level 3 concept alternatives.
ITD, the city of Idaho Falls, and Bonneville County have been working together for more than two years on this study to improve the roadway connections on I-15 and US-20, and are seeking public input as they wrap up the PEL study and prepare for the next stage of project development.
The study includes examining I-15 and US-20 interchanges at Broadway Street, Grandview Drive on I-15, Lindsay Boulevard, Riverside Drive/City Center, Science Center Drive, and Lewisville Highway on US-20, and new alternatives that would expand the existing transportation system.
During the next few months, the project will move into National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and design processes. These phases will take approximately 4 to 6 years. Public input will be an important part of choosing the final project that best fits the community’s needs. ITD will host additional public meetings in the future to continue gathering input.
