UPDATE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE KNUDSEN BLVD. PROJECT
The city is now under contract to build the section between Knudsen Blvd. and Burnside. It has taken a
number of weeks to get Idaho Transportation Department to issue a permit for the approach onto
Yellowstone. A Traffic Impact Study was required by ITD for the entire sixty acres. The Traffic Impact
Study states when Knudsen Blvd. is completed to Hawthorne traffic signals will be warranted at both
intersections. ITD is also requiring Parrish Lane be closed at Yellowstone. Smart compared this situation
to the corner of Yellowstone and Park Lawn by Tastee Treat where a new intersection was built. Smart
met last week with Wendy's owner and the property owners on Parrish Lane. Wendy's approach will
probably be extended by ten feet on Yellowstone.
Afton Road was discussed and the future plans to connect West Chubbuck Road with Burnside. To
purchase right -of -way to connect the two roads is estimated at approx $900,000.00. Mayor commented
the local traffic will access the businesses on Burnside by using Afton. Smart and the Mayor suggest the
board consider moving ahead with connecting West Chubbuck Road with Burnside. Business owners on
Burnside would benefit with the connection.
