City OKs ed corridor actions

A pair of pieces to the education corridor puzzle were put into place last night during the Coeur d’Alene City Council meeting.

The council approved a contract with JUB Engineers for the preliminary development plan for ingress and egress routes, among other traffic patterns, inside the education corridor near the North Idaho College campus.

The $241,381 contract was funded from a number of sources, including Lake City Development Corp., the city, associated colleges, and the Idaho Department of Transportation.

Around 1.1 aces at 909 and 927 River Avenue were also rezoned from residential 17 and light manufacturing zones to commercial 17, the commercial allowance zone which most of the corridor shares.

Next up for the council is a planned workshop with the Coeur d’Alene Tribal Council. The councils will converge at noon today in the Community Room of the Coeur d’Alene Public Library. - Tom Hasslinger
