Community Involvement

The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) held a neighborhood meeting in November 2021 to share improvement plans for State Highway 44 (SH-44) between State Highway 16 (SH-16) and Linder Road.

In Spring 2022, ITD held another open house to share plans for construction. Information presented at the open house included planned improvements, project schedule, and traffic impacts.

An online open house was also held from April 7-14.
