COMMUNITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) is conducting a community impact assessment for the U.S. 95
Thorncreek Road to Moscow project.
The assessment will identify the potential impacts of the three proposed alternatives/alignments (W4, C3 and E2)
for US95 south of Moscow on the following:
- Economics
- Land use
- Public services
- Recreation
- Safety
You are invited to give input into this assessment by completing a written questionnaire or participating in an interview. If you are interested come to the Eastside Marketplace off the Troy Highway between noon and 7 p.m. on July 12, 13 and 14.
Please allow 30 minutes to fill out the survey or be interviewed.
For those of you who have attended other ITD hearings and meetings at the Eastside Marketplace in the past, please note that this meeting will be held in the old pet store area, not the old Sears store area.
To see a map of the three alternatives/alignments approved by FHWA, the document ITD submitted to FHWA, and FHWA's response, go to www.itd.idaho.gov, go to "Get Involved," choose "North-Central Idaho," click on "US 95 Thorncreek to Moscow, Stage 1."

January 18 & 19, 2006
Idaho Transportation Department had an open house
Wednesday, January 18, and Thursday, January 19, 2006,
(3-8pm each day) at Eastside Marketplace in Moscow
at which they will present results from the just-completed environmental reports
covering the project area.
This is your chance to comment on the environemntal studies, and
help ITD narrow the 10 route placements to the several they move forward.
The environmental reports are posted on the ITD website, and the authors of most of
reports are expected to be at the open house to answer questions.
The environmental reports
are on the ITD website.
Read what they came up with, tell them "NO EASTERN ALIGNMENTS," and ask for a
a good NON-DIVIDED HIGHWAY DESIGN WITH PASSING AND TURNING LANES. An EIS is supposed to provide a
wide range of alternatives, but all of their alternatives are 4-lane divided behemoths.
E-mail your comments by February 3, 2006.
