A guy can only wonder why the loop highway idea hasn't gotten any legs underneath it, maybe they're waiting until all the available land is developed and it becomes ultra spendy to complete, I don't know.

No idea however if Ammon is going to widen that road or if they're going to make the developers pay for it but it needs it now more than ever.

Let me know if I can fill you in on anything else. I could go on forever.

Thanks for the detailed update IFGuy! I had not heard about the planned expansions to 17th/Woodruff and changes to I-15/US 20. Very interested to see what they do with the I-15/US 20 interchange. I would hope they have it so you don't have to stop at all to merge onto 20 North/East past Lindsay.
I'm surprised as well that the loop idea has not been seriously proposed. With the development moving east it will certainly become a nightmare to plan if put off any longer (it really should have been implemented years ago).
I agree about 1st in Ammon. Last time I visited the area I was surprised that was still a two-lane road, same with Lincoln east of Hitt, and 17th east of Ammon Rd.
Really appreciate the reply. I will let you know if I have any other question.
As a side note, and a little insight to what connection I have to the area, my family was the one who started the old, now extinct, Panorama Hills/Thunder Ridge swimming pool/recreation area.
