RE: H-2017-0164 FP BLAKESLEE COMMONS SUBDIVISION
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has reviewed the final plat application by Bungalows Meridian LLC,
consisting of 46 single family residential lots and nine (9) common lots, located on the south side of E. Ustick Road
between N. Locust Grove Road and SH-55 (N. Eagle Road), west of SH-55 (N. Eagle Rd.) milepost 38.85. ITD has
the following comments:
1. This project does not abut the State highway system.
2. Idaho Code 40-1910 does not allow advertising within the right-of-way of any State highway system.
3. IDAPA 39.03.60 rules govern advertising along the State highway system. The applicant can contact
Justin Pond, Program Manager for ITD’s Headquarters Right-of-Way Section at 334-8832 for more
information.
4. The City is reminded that the SH-55 (N. Eagle Road) corridor is already congested. This project will
increase the number of vehicle trips in the corridor. As the City continues to add additional trips to the
corridor through development, the congestion will worsen until the roadway system ultimately is
overloaded and fails. ITD has no current funding assigned to mitigate traffic congestion in SH-55 (N.
Eagle Road) corridor in this area.
5. ITD does not object to the final plat application for the Blakeslee Commons Subdivision as presented.
If you have any questions, you may contact Shona Tonkin at (208) 334-8341 or me at (208) 332-7190.
