West BMPO Deputy Director DMW/as Enclosures cc: Dave Christiansen Craig Rockwood Serving the citizens of Bonneville County and the Cities of Ammon, Idaho Falls and Iona CITY OF IONA Office of the Mayor P. O. Box 487 Iona, Idaho 83427 Craig Rockwood Mayor State of Idaho Transportation Department Dear Sirs: Phone: (208) 523-5600 March 24, 1999 The City of Iona would like to officially voice our concern about the safety of the intersection at Iona Road and Highway 26. This intersection is used by a large majority of our citizens and those in the surrounding area on a daily basis. Iona Road is the main arterial street used by people traveling to and from Iona. While we would oppose efforts to restrict the use of Iona Road by closing this intersection or limiting the direction of traffic we would strongly support other efforts to improve the safety of this intersection. We have discussed a few improvements that we feel would improve the safety of this intersection, which are: 1. Traffic control lights — We realize this option is an expensive alternative and complicated by the planned light at Hitt Road. 2. A streetlight would help illuminate the intersection at night and greatly improve motorist's ability to see the intersection. 3. The asphalt and drainage need to be improved on the East Side of the intersection. There are almost always puddles and potholes on the Iona Road portion of this intersection. 4. It would help to eliminate the used car/junk dealer on the southeast corner of this intersection. The distraction of these vehicles parked so close to the highway compromises the safety of those trying to cross or pull out onto Highway 26. If the cars cannot be removed they should at least be required to move them an additional 25 feet back from the property line. 5. A sign indicating the mileage and direction to the City of Iona would help motorist unfamiliar with the area to locate the intersection. We would support and appreciate any efforts by the State Highway Department and Bonneville County to improve this intersection. Sincerely yours a Craig Rockwood Mayor
