U.S. 20/26 Corridor
Expressway Option Concept
The Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho (COMPASS) and the Idaho
Transportation Department (ITD) held a public scoping meeting for the U.S. 20/26
Corridor Preservation project in May 2006. Several access management options were
presented. The general public voiced strong support for an expressway.
The local governments along the corridor would like your input on access management for
the U.S. 20/26 corridor—in particular, for an expressway between Middleton Road and
Black Cat Road. An expressway option could include future interchanges at several
locations along U.S. 20/26.
This option will require local governments to adopt policies that restrict access on and off
the roadway, and to support building frontage and backage roads that would carry local
traffic to and from properties along the corridor. It will also require preserving property at
designated intersections.
This is an important decision. Your comments will be used by the local governments, ITD
and COMPASS to determine the level of support for the expressway option.
