BRIDGE: Doesn’t add up

| September 18, 2020 1:00 AM

The recent article by Madison Hardy on a proposed vehicle registration was excellent. It is easy to see and experience the growth in Kootenai County and thus the need for updated infrastructure.

What seems to be missing is the Post Falls Highway District action item for the Sept. 16 board meeting. That item is the proposed Greensferry River Crossing (bridge). The item was listed as Preliminary/Not Scheduled on the 2019-2023 CIP and all of a sudden it is immediate?

I planned to attend the informational meeting on Sept. 15 and the board meeting of Sept. 16. My questions may be answered but first thoughts are that KMPO and PFHD are not communicating?

A new bridge is very costly and unwelcome to us who live on Greensferry as there appears to be no provision for infrastructure upgrade to Greensferry itself to support a new bridge.
