Re: Comments on Draft Guidelines for Accessible Public Rights-of-Way

Dear Sirs

The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) thanks you for the opportunity to comment on the Draft Guidelines for Accessible Public Rights-of-Way before formal rule making begins. Staff has reviewed the Draft and has numerous concerns. At this time there are issues with when to apply current regulations during maintenance and preservation activities. The new guidelines further complicate and add significant cost to these efforts.

The ITD is in complete agreement with the comments and recommendations that are being submitted by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). We would like to go on record as supporting AASHTO's position.

I. D. Ross, P.E. Chief Engineer
