The Idaho Transportation Department is hosting an online meeting starting today for State Highway 69 from Orchard Avenue in Kuna to Overland Road in Meridian. The community is invited to view the proposed vision of the corridor, as traffic is expected to increase by 55% over the next 25 years. Participants can provide input and learn about the next steps for the SH-69 project.
The proposed vision for SH-69 includes:
- Widening SH-69 to seven lanes between Overland and Kuna roads.
- Widening SH-69 to five lanes between Kuna Road and Orchard Avenue.
- Installing a new continuous raised median with access allowed at mile and 1/2-mile intersections. All other access onto SH-69 will be right-in and right-out.
- Adding a 10-foot multi-use pathway on each side.
“The proposed vision of the corridor will accommodate motorized and non-motorized users as growth along the corridor is projected to increase 55% over the next 25 years. We look forward to gathering input from the community, as their feedback is crucial to moving the study forward,” Project Manager Mark Wasdahl said.
Details for the online meeting are listed below:
- Online meeting will run Monday, April 7 – Monday, April 21
