When the platooned traffic pass through rural intersections, vehicles on the minor approach attempting to turn onto the major state highway are subjected to excessive delays. This research documents the characteristics of holiday traffic at different locations in Idaho and presents alternative intersection treatments to alleviate congestion at rural intersections during increased traffic volume on high-travel days.

    D-3/Draft ITIP Comments U.S. 20-26 (Chinden Boulevard): Please start the project as soon as possible. The traffic on US 20-26 between Eagle Rd and Meridian Rd already exceeds capacity. Stephen Chrysler 417 W. Broderick Dr Meridian, ID. 83646 [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------ I support the widening of Chinden RD. from Eagle Road to Locust Grove. I feel this should be done as soon as possible---not wait till 2021. Chinden needs to be widened for several miles past Eagle. Thank you for your consideration. D. Wayne Sharp 5087 N. Camas Creek Way, 83713 [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adam / ITD, I wish to express my opinion on the Chinden expansion which is scheduled for 2021. Have you ever driven Chinden? It seems obvious that if you and those at ITD think that a 1 mile widening project from Eagle to Locust Grove is the best you can do, then you have your head firmly in the sand. This project needs to be moved up way prior to 2021 and it needs to extend much further than to Locust Grove. At a minimum it needs to be widened to Ten Mile. This project needs to be TOP priority for ITD. Currently there are way too many accidents on Chinden along the stretch from Eagle to Ten Mile. I do have a news break for ITD: There is an explosion of growth in Western Ada county. If you get any further behind on this project the costs will skyrocket and ITD will have nobody to blame except yourselves. This needs to be your highest priority.

You can hike through evergreen forests to remote alpine lakes or spy ante- lope roaming the high-country desert—or in just minutes, move from bustling city life to farmlands and fruit orchards. It’s the kind of place where you start your morning with a pint of local berries from a downtown farmers market, hit the trails or the whitewater, and head back in plenty of time to grab a bite and watch a Shake- speare performance. Definitely seek out local Idaho food and wines—both are receiving the same high acclaim that the region’s recreational offerings have long enjoyed. In fact, southwest Idaho’s ideal grape-growing conditions have led to the designation of two American Viticultural Areas—so put a winery tour on your short list. Plan to spend time in Boise, Idaho’s capital city, for a lively arts and culture scene, river and foothills fun, and Boise State University games. Boise’s also a central hub for day trips to scenic spots like McCall, Cascade, and Idaho City to the north—and Silver City, sand dunes, and the world’s most dense concentration of nesting birds of prey just to the south.
