City seeks input as transportation planning gets underway
January 29, 2018
The online The Bonners Ferry Transportation Plan Input Map is an interactive way of learning what planners are thinking as they begin working on the city transportation plan and of sharing your thoughts on what is needed to improve getting around in your neighborhood.
The City of Bonners Ferry is developing a plan for all types of transportation throughout the city, and city residents are being asked to contribute in two important ways; by taking a short survey, and by going to an interactive map, viewing what is currently being considered and giving your comments on what would improve all modes of transportation in your neighborhood.

This plan, once complete, will greatly improve Bonner Ferry’s chance of receiving federal funding and grants for needed transportation, bicycle and pedestrian facility improvements. Funding agencies carefully review these plans when considering future projects.

The Bonners Ferry Transportation Survey asks 11 transportation-specific questions and  is a critical part of the process of setting clear priorities and gathering public input to determine appropriate steps the City should take to benefit the community. It consists of 11 is intended to gather information from the public on the use and design of city streets and pathways.

This survey will not be used to inform Idaho Transportation Department on improvements related to Highway 95.

The Bonners Ferry Transportation Plan Input Map enables residents to provide street specific comments regarding the city’s infrastructure and/or additions they’d like to see.

The survey asks for your name and contact information should planners have further questions, but there is no requirement on either to provide your personal information. Either way, the information received from both public outreaches will become an integral part in shaping the city’s transportation planning effort.
