RE: H-2017-0117 RAPID CREEK SUBDIVISION
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has reviewed the referenced annexation, zoning, and
preliminary plat applications by WHPacific for Rapid Creek Subdivision on a parcel located 1.3 mi
south of US-20/26 (West Chinden Boulevard) milepost 35.16. ITD has the following comments:
1. This project does not abut the State highway system.
2. The City is reminded that the US-20/26 corridor is already congested. This project will
increase the number of vehicle trips in the corridor. ITD has no current funding assigned to
mitigate traffic congestion in the US-20/26 corridor in this area.
3. IDAPA 39.03.60 governs advertising along the State highway system. The applicant may
contact Justin Pond, Program Manager for ITD’s Headquarters Right-of-Way Section at 334-
8832 for more information.
4. Idaho Code 40-1910 does not allow advertising within the right-of-way of any State highway.
5. ITD does not object to the construction of a subdivision on the parcel as presented.
If you have any questions, you may contact Shona Tonkin at 334-8341 or me at 332-7190.
Sincerely,
Ken Couch
