Phillippi Street, Targee Street to Overland Road

Project update April 2, 2018

Unfortunately, we have recently learned that the current Phillippi Street design, with sidewalks on both sides of Phillippi will cause significant impacts to the Andeavor petroleum pipelines located on the east and west sides of the street. This design would require the Andeavor pipelines to be relocated, an extremely costly endeavor that would cause a hardship to the residents of Phillippi Street during construction.

As a result, the District is revisiting the current design and assessing alternatives to meet the purpose and need of this project - to increase connectivity for pedestrian and cyclists - while minimizing the impacts to the pipeline. Once the appropriate design alternate has been selected, a mailing will be distributed to the residents of Phillippi Street and updates will also be available here. 

General Description:

• Construct curb, gutter and sidewalk on both sides of Phillippi Street between Targee Street and Overland Road. Sidewalks on west side will be seven feet wide and sidewalks on east side will be five feet wide. Sidewalks on the west side are five feet wide to reduce impacts to trees, landscaping and private property.
• Rebuild the street
• Rebuild existing speed humps
• Add sharrows (shared lane markings) to designate a shared travel lane for both bicyclists and motorists.
• Construct bulb outs and update pedestrian ramps
• Improve stormwater facilities
• Project design

Project Purpose

Increase connectivity and safety for pedestrians and bicyclists.

What is next?

• December 2017 - Finalize design
• Fall 2017 thru fall 2018 - Right-of-way purchases
• 2021 - Construction*

*Per the initial draft of the 2018-2022 ACHD Integrated Five-Year Work Plan. The Plan will go before the ACHD Commission for possible adoption on September 27, 2017 at 6 p.m.
