Project Sponsor
East Side Highway District
Purpose
This project rebuilt and paved approximately 24,000 square feet of gravel outside the city of Coeur d’Alene on Sunnyside Road, between Bonnell and Yellowstone Roads. Roadside ditches were lined with riprap to prevent future erosion and sediment discharge, and small check dams were installed within roadside ditches to reduce stormwater flow velocity.
Funding
This project received $643,830 from Governor Little’s Leading Idaho initiative.
Current Status
The road was completed fall 2024.
Outcome
This project decreased phosphorus loading from sediment discharge into Coeur d’Alene Lake at Blue Creek Bay and improved travel for the community.
