  • Functional Classification Update Report for the Pocatello/Chubbuck Urbanized Area
    Functional Classification Update Report For the Pocatello/Chubbuck Urbanized Area Functional Classification Update Report Introduction The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1973 required the use of functional highway classification to update and modify the Federal-aid highway systems by July 1, 1976. This legislative requirement is still effective today. Functional classification is the process by which streets and highways are grouped into classes, or systems, according to the character of service they are intended to provide. The functional classification system recognizes that streets cannot be treated as independent, but rather they are intertwined and should be considered as a whole. Each street has a specific purpose or function. This function can be characterized by the level of access to surrounding properties and the length of the trip on that specific roadway. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) functional classification system for urban areas is divided into urban principal arterials, minor arterial streets, collector streets, and local streets. Principal arterials include interstates, expressways, and principal arterials. Eligibility for Federal Highway Administration funding and to provide design standards and access criteria are two important reasons to classify roadway. The region is served by Interstate 15 (north/South) and Interstate 86 (east/west). While classified within the arterial class, they are designated federally and do not change locally. Interstates will be shown in the functional classification map, but they will not be specifically addressed in this report. Functional Classification Update The Idaho Transportation Department has the primary responsibility for developing and updating a statewide highway functional classification in rural and urban areas to determine the functional usage of the existing roads and streets.

  • ITD Board Sets Wish List for Potential Stimulus
    ITD board sets wish list for potential stimulus The priorities include six road projects that wouldn't otherwise be done. None are in the Valley. Idaho Statesman, January 8, 2009 By: Cynthia Sewell Idaho transportation leaders want to spend $94 million on six otherwise unfunded road projects if President-elect Barack Obama and the new Congress pass a stimulus package dedicated to infrastructure. The windfall could create between 2,000 and 4,000 Idaho jobs, officials said. None of the six roads are in the Treasure Valley, but the region's section of Interstate 84 has been getting - and is expecting to keep getting - most of the borrowed federal dollars from the Connecting Idaho project. The stimulus projects officials have identified would upgrade treacherous Idaho 95 in North Idaho and jump-start road projects in Pocatello, Twin Falls and East Idaho. The Idaho Transportation Department board picked these projects during a special meeting Wednesday, and officials say they could be under construction by June. Several versions of possible stimulus bills are circulating in Washington, and details are still sketchy. ITD expects Idaho could receive about $100 million for roads. Agency staff had identified $817 million in projects that could be ready for construction within 180 days. The six board members disagreed on two points on how best to spend the $100 million: Whether to put the money toward new projects or use it to repair the state's existing roads. Whether to divide the money equally around the state or give it to the areas with the most need. Jim Coleman, who represents North Idaho, argued that the state should use one-time money to finance key projects it is unlikely to be able to afford under current revenue sources.

  • Mid City's I-15 Stretch to Open After Torturous 40-Year Saga San Diego Union-Tribune - Sunday, January 9, 2000 Author: Jeanne F
    A neighborhood's rough road: Mid city's I-15 stretch to open after torturous 40-year saga San Diego Union-Tribune - Sunday, January 9, 2000 Author: Jeanne F. Brooks They called it "Nightmare on 40th Street" -- a 2.2-mile example of urban life gone very wrong. By day, it was a corridor of weeds and broken bottles, abandoned houses, graffiti, exhaust fumes and rumbling, horn-blowing, radio-blasting, tire-squealing traffic. Endless traffic. At night, when the creatures of the dark came out -- prostitutes, drug dealers, gangbangers -- things got worse. From behind their locked doors, honest residents of the San Diego neighborhood of City Heights could hear gunfire in the no man's land along 40th Street. From time to time, they saw empty houses go up in flames. And nearly every night, they listened to the clatter of police helicopters, which some took to calling the City Heights Air Force. In the mornings, residents picked used condoms and needles out of their lawns, and they cursed the name of the entity they saw as their afflicter -- Caltrans. The problem was a freeway the California Department of Transportation wasn't building through the middle of the neighborhood. By the late 1980s, the long relationship between the state agency and the community of City Heights had grown deeply dysfunctional. Few then would have predicted the coming of a day such as this Friday, when Caltrans employees and community activists likely will shake hands and congratulate one another -- on the same side, in the end. Their common bond: the grand opening of the final segment of Interstate 15.

  • The Interstate Highway System Turns 60
    The Interstate Highway System turns 60: Challenges to Its Ability to Continue to Save Lives, Time and Money JUNE 27, 2016 202-466-6706 tripnet.org Founded in 1971, TRIP ® of Washington, DC, is a nonprofit organization that researches, evaluates and distributes economic and technical data on surface transportation issues. TRIP is sponsored by insurance companies, equipment manufacturers, distributors and suppliers; businesses involved in highway and transit engineering and construction; labor unions; and organizations concerned with efficient and safe surface transportation. Executive Summary Sixty years ago the nation embarked on its greatest public works project, the construction of the Interstate Highway System. President Dwight D. Eisenhower provided strong support for the building of an Interstate Highway System that would improve traffic safety, reduce travel times and improve the nation’s economic productivity. Serving as the most critical transportation link in the nation’s economy, the Interstate Highway System has significantly improved the lives of U.S. residents and visitors. Throughout the nation, the Interstate system allows for high levels of mobility by greatly reducing travel times and providing a significantly higher level of traffic safety than other routes. But 60 years after President Eisenhower articulated a vision for the nation’s transportation system, the U. S. again faces a challenge in modernizing its aging and increasingly congested Interstate highway system. If Americans are to continue to enjoy their current level of personal and commercial mobility on Interstate highways and bridges, the nation will need to make a commitment to identifying a long-term funding source to support a well-maintained Interstate Highway System able to meet the nation’s need for additional mobility.

  • 1. Purpose and Need
    1. Purpose and Need 1.1 Proposed Action The proposed project involves traffic improvements to United States Highway 93 (U.S. 93) in the Boulder City, Nevada, area. The project limits are between a western boundary at the end of Interstate 515 (I-515) on U.S. 93/United States Highway 95 (U.S. 95) in Henderson (U.S. 95 Milepost [MP] 59.10), approximately 1.6 kilometers (km) (1 mile) north of the Railroad Pass Hotel and Casino, and an eastern boundary on U.S. 93, approximately 1.2 km (0.75 miles) east of the Hacienda Hotel and Casino. The eastern boundary is coincident with the planned western end of the U.S. 93 Hoover Dam Bypass project Nevada Interchange (see Section 2.1). The Boulder City/U.S. 93 Corridor Study covers a total distance of approximately 16.7 km (10.4 miles) on the present route of U.S. 93 (Figure 1-1). U.S. 93 is the major commercial corridor for interstate and international commerce, and it is the single route through Boulder City, functioning as a principal urban arterial. It is a direct north-south link between Phoenix and Las Vegas, which are two of the fastest-growing areas in the United States (U.S.), and it carries a high volume of east-west traffic from Interstate 40 (I-40) to Las Vegas and to Interstate 15 (I-15). U.S. 93, in combination with other highways, creates a continuous Canada to Mexico (CANAMEX) corridor through the U.S. between Calgary, Alberta, and Nogales, Sonora (Figure 1-2).
