RE: Linder Village Commercial Development – 7/12/2017 Discussion Follow-up
Dear Mr. Ringert,
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) wants to thank you, DMG Real Estate Partners and Chuck
Winder for meeting with us on 7/12/2017 to discuss long-term access off of US 20/26 (Chinden Blvd) for
the Linder Village Commercial Development. ITD also received your letter dated 7/18/2017 that
provides a comparison of the development’s original trip generations including Costco to an alternate
proposed land use. We agree that the small change in trip generations will not significantly impact the
recommendations in the TIS.
Please find below ITD’s modifications to our letter dated 2/24/2017 describing the department’s
position on your proposed accesses for the Linder Village Commercial Development.
Site Access B (Bergman Way)
• This access will be permitted as temporary full signalized access to remain in place until
the construction of a CFI at the intersection of US 20/26 and Linder Road.
• The temporary signal will not be installed until the signal warrants are met based on
traffic generation of the completed development.
• The signal will convert to a right-in, right-out, left-in movement with the
implementation of the CFI at the intersection of US 20/26 and Linder Road given that a
connection has been provided to Fox Run Way and a signal has been allowed on Linder
Road at Site Access E.
• Traffic calming measures to discourage cut through traffic on Bergman Way must be
coordinated with the City of Eagle before the full access signal can be put into service.
These measures may be considered for inclusion as part of the STAR agreement.
ITD will pursue conversation with the City of Meridian, ACHD and Brighton Corporation to gain a public
street connection from Fox Run Way to the Linder Village Commercial Development.
Thank you again for your time. The department believes this is an effective plan to maintain safety and
mobility Idaho’s motorists on US 20/26 as well as provide your development suitable access in the near
and long term. Please let me know if you have any questions. I can be reached by phone at
(208) 334-8340 or email at erika.bowen@itd.idaho.gov.
Sincerely,
Erika R. Bowen, P.E.
