concerns of Fire and Police Departments a street name is changed when the direction of

Smart said there will be good sign notification of the street changing names.
Fire Chief King said the Fire Department is in favor of the street changing names when it
changes directions.
Mitchell Greer, Rocky Mountain Engineering stated one of the major issues with the
project, is traffic, and the potential need for a signal at E. Chubbuck Road and Sacajawea

looked at signal alternatives and also came up with another alternative. Mr. Greer
presented a plan for a four lane roundabout on E. Chubbuck Road and Sacajawea Drive.
Mr. Greer stated if the roundabout is approved, it could be installed now rather than in the
future. Mr. Greer did not think getting the easements for the roundabout would be a
problem.
Councilman Kearns suggested Bannock Planning Organization review the roundabout
and see what their feelings are.
