The pathway along Eagle Road in this area is not part of the scope of work for the roadway
widening that CenterCal is going to do through their STARS agreement. We tried to work with
ITD and the CenterCal design team, but without the adjacent property owners’ willingness to
dedicate the right-of-way, we could not require the pathway. Therefore, the road trust option
will not work. At least not with ITD/CenterCal. Matt – I’m not guaranteeing anything, but I
wonder if Parks would be open to partnering with you to get that pathway up the hill? I know
there is quite a steep slope there and maybe some irrigation concerns, but maybe if resources
are pooled to design and construct we can get from Lanark to Franklin. If interested in this
option, please contact Mike Barton and/or Kim Warren in our Parks Department (they are
copied here too.) Parks’ mainline number: 208-888-3579.
Of note, we worked with Keller and Associates, through a COMPASS grant, to study Eagle Road
a few years ago for bike, pedestrian and lighting needs. This project analyzed the existing
conditions in the corridor and then broke the corridor into “bite-size” segments. This segment,
6, while very important was not identified as one of the most critical and to date has not gone
into phase 2 analysis. Attached is the analysis Keller did, hopefully this is helpful. If you are
curious, here is a link to what the phase 2 analysis looks like for first 4 “high priority” segments
in the corridor:

corridor.

I will check thank you. Do you get to look at the road plans and make comments? When we did Pine
street there was a lot of back and forth with the city, but that was ACHD.

Hi Matt,
This project is assigned to our new Planner, Alan Tiefenbach, but I’m helping him with it. Yes, you
can submit a bid for the cost of construction & surety in lieu of not constructing it at this time; I’m
not sure though how it will work when they do the improvements (i.e. if you can pay them to do the
work or what…maybe run it by ITD and see what they say).
Thanks,
Sonya

Sonya, I am not sure of what the submittal was for the hotel, but there is a requirement for the
pathway along Eagle Road. Since that is to be widened as the third stage of the Stars agreement
with Center Cal, can we road trust the funds to construct a 10’ path with base for use in building
that pathway and have them install it as part of that project? The city should be requiring that work
with the Eagle Road project since the property to the north that is already improved doesn’t have
the walk and since ACHD owns the corner and they wont build the path. If the architect didn’t make
this request is it too late for it to be added?
