Resolution 2005-08
Dated: July 06, 2005
Whereas interchanges on Highway 20 south of the South Rexburg Interchange will have
a direct impact on the use of the South Rexburg interchange, and on the flow of traffic
into and out of the City of Rexburg, and
Whereas the City of Rexburg has a direct interest in the highway planning as it affects
transportation into and out of Rexburg; and
Whereas the Rexburg City Council believes that both Alternative T-G and Alternative
T-A are necessary to address the substantial growth being experienced and forecast in
Rexburg and south Madison County, and in light of the interchanges which have been
built and are being built north and south of Rexburg; and
Whereas the Rexburg City Council believes that construction of both Alternative T-G
and Alternative T-A will provide for the most efficient and safe flow of traffic into and
out of Rexburg by sharing the traffic load most efficiently and most safely with the South
Rexburg interchange
Now Therefore Let It Be Resolved That
The City of Rexburg requests that the Idaho Transportation Board approve and provide
for construction of both Alternative T-G and Alternative T-A; and
Be it further resolved that if budget and construction schedule considerations require
that these projects be phased over time that Alternative T-G be built first, and that in
either case a frontage road connecting Alternative T-G and Alternative T-A be built on
the west side of Highway 20 to provide for adequate access for the national tourist
destination Yellowstone Bear World located in south Madison County; and
Be it further resolved that access to affected businesses and local residents be
maintained open with routes clearly marked during construction; and
Be it further resolved that appropriate and attractive zero water landscaping be included
in the design and construction of these interchanges, and that the Idaho Transportation
Department consult with the City of Rexburg in determining signage for these and
existing interchanges around Rexburg.
