Yellowstone Corridor Plan (2003)

Yellowstone Corridor Plan (2003)

Yellowstone Corridor (PDFs)

Introduction and Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 Section 4 Section 5 Section 6 Section 7 Section 8 Appendix A (first half) Appendix A (second half) Appendix B Appendix C Appendix D Appendix E Appendix F Appendix G Appendix H Appendix I

Yellowstone is the most important street in the urban area, with the exception of the interstate highways. Yellowstone is the backbone of the region’s transportation system, serving to connect neighborhoods, business districts, residents and their jobs, and Pocatello and Chubbuck. Few people drive it from end to end or use it to pass through the area. It is a regional highway. Yellowstone Highway services the urban area rather than connecting rural parts of the state. Trips are much shorter, with origins and destinations occurring wholly within the urban area. BTPO, ITD, Bannock County, Pocatello Regional Transit and the cities of Pocatello and Chubbuck undertook the corridor planning process. In initiating the plan, the agencies acknowledged that the region’s economic health and the quality of life of the region’s residents are intertwined with the facility’s function. The Plan will help improve the corridor in the future and ensure it continued viability and utility.

BTPO Awarded $1.3 Million SMART Grant to Enhance Road Safety & Efficiency

The U.S. Department of Transportation awarded the Bannock Transportation Planning Organization (BTPO) a $1.3 million SMART (Strengthen Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation) Grant on September 15, 2023. The SMART Grant will fund a cooperative project to install sensor-based traffic monitoring (smart traffic signals) across the Yellowstone Corridor (US-91/I-15B). The Yellowstone Corridor Project was one of 59 grants that USDOT awarded nationwide.

In order to maximize traffic flow and pedestrian safety improvements, BTPO is partnering with the City of Pocatello, the City of Chubbuck, and the Idaho Transportation Department to integrate smart traffic signals at 19 traffic signals and three automatic traffic recorders from the 4th/5th couplet at Humbolt St north to Chubbuck Rd. A smart traffic signal optimizes traffic flow autonomously by analyzing real-time data on vehicles, trucks, pedestrians, and bicycles passing through an intersection.

Mori Byington, BTPO’s Planning Director, is excited to be involved in this project, which is committed to improving safety and reducing traffic congestion locally. The project is also expected to improve traffic signals throughout the valley by collecting data, monitoring, and evaluating these new technologies over the next 18 months.
