SANDPOINT — With an emphasis on the fact that it’s temporary, the Sandpoint City Council approved a plan Wednesday to stripe the downtown intersection of First Avenue, and Church and Bridge streets. 

Part of the Downtown Streets Plan and Design Guide published in December 2012, Idaho Transportation Department is gearing up to reconfigure Fifth Avenue to two-way traffic this fall. The decision about the unique First/Church/Bridge intersection was overdue, said Public Works Director Kody Van Dyk.

The plan includes having both First Avenue and Church Street revert to two-way traffic.

Van Dyk said the difference in the three options council had to consider was truck traffic movement and the number of parking spaces.

It looks like giving time, money and providing resources to every aspect of our rural life from lawn mower races to advocating for a women’s shelter. It looks like supporting school events, hospice and soup kitchens.

Hospital Week: A focus on continuous improvement

I must say, that I am far more often contacted by people who have had exemplary experiences with our hospital than not. And, I’ve personally had diagnostic imaging, surgeries and trips to the emergency department and have never had anything less than very satisfactory results, so if someone were to say that their visit was unpleasant, I’d frankly be surprised.
