County update: grant support and expanded traffic study proposed for Resource Boulevard area
Summary
At the commission update, staff said a grant letter recommended funding to widen Resource Boulevard and described an ongoing traffic analysis near Zimmerman; commissioners discussed expanding the study area to capture cumulative impacts.
During the county commission update, staff reported a letter of recommendation for a grant that would support widening Resource Boulevard and flagged an ongoing traffic analysis in the Zimmerman area as a recurring concern. Commissioners debated whether to limit study scope to the immediate subdivision area or broaden it up to Beaman to capture cumulative impacts from multiple developments.
"There was a pack grant that was a letter of recommendation for that, which is for the widening of Resource Boulevard," a commissioner reported during the update. Commissioners noted engineering and road-code issues and asked whether the county has funding to expand the traffic study area; staff said they are checking for available funds and will report back. The discussion emphasized balancing developer costs for required improvements with possible county-funded impact-fee solutions to address acceleration/deceleration lane needs.
