EAST
CHUBBUCK ROAD WIDENING PROJECT - Mayor Cotant stated, after
the last meeting with Mori Byington, BPO~ Mayor Cotant was of
the opinion the East Chubbuck Road widening project is four
lanes, rather than five lanes, because of the cost of right-a-
way for the five lane widening.
Mori Byington, Bannock Planning Organization Representative
stated the East Chubbuek Road ~idening project is moved back
to the year 2000 based on current funding. There is a
possibility the East Chubbuck Road widening project could
start 1999. Mr. Byington stated, he left the last meeting
thinking the project is still five lanes, but the additional
time would give the Council time to decide, four or five
lanes.
Discussion about funding from the State.
Mr. Byington stated, the State prefers projects are ready for
contract one year prior to scheduled date.
Rodney Burch, Shepherd Engineering stated the five lane
project just about doubles the cost of right-a-way
acquisition, over the four lane project.
Mayor Cotant expressed concern about up front monies City is
required to pay for right-a-way acquisition. Discussion about
when reimbursement from the State will happen.
Discussion about run off water and where to drain it..
Discussion about four lane east to railroad tracks~ then three
lanes to Hiline Road. The will be no State or Federal
participation on a three lane project.
