The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) reviewed the alternative compliance, annexation, rezone, preliminary plat, and private street applications and has the following comments: 1.

The corridor study shows the future corridor width will need to be 100 feet wide on each side of the centerline in this area. A view of the corridor study plan for this area can be found under the "Plan" tab labeled "Strip Maps" at: http://apps.itd.idaho. og v/apps/us2026CorridorStudy//plan.htmll 3.

The future ultimate buildout for US -20/26 will prohibit access to US -20/26 from Shandee Drive. �DAHp Your Safety • Your Mobility IDAHO TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT A P.O.
