McCALL – The Idaho Transportation Department and the City of McCall invite the public to provide input on potential improvements to State Highway 55 and Deinhard Lane to Boydstun Street.
SH-55 is part of the primary north-south corridor connecting Boise and central Idaho. Through downtown McCall, SH-55 functions as the city’s “Main Street.” Growth and increasing traffic through downtown have placed pressure on the route’s function as an efficient state highway.
This project focuses on determining the proper use of each roadway and designing improvements accordingly. One potential solution includes exchanging the ownership and classification of SH-55 and with Deinhard Lane to Boydstun Street, reducing traffic in downtown McCall.
The public meeting will be available both in person and online:
- In-person: Wednesday, August 6, drop in anytime between 4 to 7 p.m. at the McCall Public Library, Community Hall, 218 Park Street
- Online: A self-guided website will be available August 6–20 at sh55deinhard-boydstun.com
Community members are encouraged to review concept designs, ask questions, and provide feedback.
“Public input is key to ensuring proposed improvements meet the needs of McCall residents, businesses, and visitors,” Project Manager Wendy Howell said. “We encourage everyone to participate, either in person or online.”
The same meeting material and survey will be presented in person and online. While comments are welcome throughout the project, they are most useful if received by Wednesday, August 20.
