Highway 20 Updates
A representative of Idaho Transportation Department reported to the city council that work on the new interchange designs for Rexburg at Exit 332 and Exit 333 should begin by next summer. Actually, the first step in the projected work is for ITD to install traffic lights at Exit 337 (Salem / North Rexburg) as this exit will see an increase in traffic when the other interchanges are being worked on.

5th South
Here in Sugar, 5th south is nearly completed and ready to open. Keep watching the progress. Someday, the barriers will come down and the road will be open for business!
Sidewalk on 3rd South
Work on the new sidewalk on 3rd south is scheduled to begin this week--tomorrow, I think they said (10/16).
Land for the Historic Preservation Future Museum
The council approved the donation of a city-owned piece of land to the Historical Society for a planned museum. The property is on Railroad Avenue near Center Street (map below).
The Historical Society has organized to become a nonprofit 501(c)(3), and they have a great group of board members, They are fundraising for their new museum, with a goal to reach $50k by the end of this year. If you are interested in donating, please contact city hall for more information.
Treats in the Streets 2023
Thanks for the great party on Friday the 13th this past week! The 2nd Annual Treats in the Streets was a great success. The weather cooperated once again, and the kids and families seemed to have a wonderful time.
I'm grateful for all the work by city staff and other volunteers who made it all happen.
