RE: Emergency Vehicle Approach at US 20/26 milepost 36.265, left(Intersection of US 20/26 and Ten Mile Rd)
Dear Mr. Danielson,
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) was asked to clarify our position regarding an emergency approach on the
north side of the US 20/26 (Chinden Blvd)/Ten Mile Road intersection. For safety reasons,there can only be one
approach located on the north side of this signalized intersection. However, ITD is not opposed to a single approach
serving both the Wagner Farm parcel and being used as an emergency access with the following conditions:
• The emergency access connection to the single approach would be gated to restrict cross access of other
vehicles.
• If the approach were to remain entirely on the Wagner Farms parcel, a cross access agreement would need to
be recorded and submitted to ITD.
• If the approach was reconstructed and centered on the parcel boundary to better align with the signalized
intersection, a joint access agreement would be needed.

The history behind Permit 3-08-426, Spurwing's previous emergency access approach onto Chinden Blvd is as follows.
June 6, 2008—ITD issued Permit#3-08-426 to Spurwing Limited Partnership.The access was identified as a
20ft wide gated emergency access.
June 30, 2014—ITD issued Permit#3-13-217 to PACLAND (Walmart) for roadway widening and traffic
signalization installation at the intersection of Ten Mile Road and US 20/26. Due to proximity of the emergency
access to the northeastern traffic signal pole,the gated emergency access was removed. Permit#3-08-426
became void with the removal of the emergency approach.
Below is an image from the Ten Mile traffic signal construction plans. Both Spurwing's gated emergency access and the
adjacent western driveway approach are removed.The plan sheet shows construction of a single approach located
entirely within the western parcel.The future driveway connection is identified as being constructed by others as part
of a separate project.Although the single approach was constructed in the traffic signal project, it was never
permitted. ITD does not have any documentation regarding the intended use.

ITD cannot allow a second direct access approach at the intersection of Chinden Blvd and Ten Mile Rd, but we are
willing to consider options of using a single approach to serve both uses.
If you have any questions,you may contact me at erika.bowen@itd.idaho.Bov or(208) 265-4312 ext 7.
