Re: Proposed traffic signal at Technology Way
Dear Mr. Millar:
I have been contacted by Tom O'Toole in regard to a proposed subdivision east of SH -33,
increased traffic and the need for a traffic signal at Technology Way. Back in 1998 ITD
was working with the City of Rexburg and had a traffic signal planned for this location with
construction to be in 2001. The City of Rexburg requested the location be changed to 2nd
north and it was constructed there
ITD had approved construction of the traffic signal at Technology Way based on the
warrant studies at that time. We had not resolved the configuration, needed lanes or right
of way needs at Technology way or the needs for the access into the shopping center
before the location was changed. I reviewed the accident history for this location and it
does not presently meet the warrant for accidents. There are a high number associated
with the two driveways just north of the intersection, which probably would be alleviated
with a signal. ITD would not require a Transportation Impact Study be made based on the
previous warrants.
I would assume that an arrangement could be made similar to the new signal provided by
the developer just north of this location. I would like to meet some time with the City and
Mr. O'Toole to discuss this matter, particularly the time line.
Sincerely,
it W. Becker PE
District Traffic Engineer
