    Sand Creek Byway

    The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) proposes to construct 2.1 miles of a new alignment connecting U.S. 95, from the northern end of the Long Bridge, directly to Idaho 200 and U.S. 95 north of Sandpoint. The project includes six bridges, 24 retaining walls, and a pedestrian/bike pathway.

    It has, however, been a subject of controversey for some time. Please see the North Idaho Community Assistance Network (N.I.C.A.N.) or Idaho Transportation Department websites for more information. Though the Lakes Commission has not taken a stance on the issue, it is an important topic in our community.
