Project Location
South of East Ustick Road approximately 0.40 miles west of the
intersection of SH-55 and East Ustick Road, west of SH-55 milepost

Project Description
Construct a subdivision consisting of 28 building lots and 2 common
lots on 3.94 acres of land in the R-4 zoning district
Applicant Bungalows Meridian, LLC
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) reviewed the referenced final plat application and has the
following comments:
1. This project does not abut the State highway system.
2. 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.
3. Idaho Code 40-1910 does not allow advertising within the right-of-way of any State highway.
4. The Idaho Administrative Procedures Act (IDAPA) 39.03.60 governs advertising along the State
highway system. The applicant may contact Justin Pond, Right-of-Way Section Program Manager, at
(208) 334-8832 for more information.
