Project Name:    Reserve Drive – W of Whitefish Stage
Project No.:        STPP 267-1(7)0
Control No.:       10212000

This project will include reconstructing West Reserve Drive from the end of the concrete just east of the US 93 intersection to the point east of the Whitefish Stage Rd intersection necessary to develop the lane widening and intersection turn lanes. The widening will increase lanes from 3 to 5, including a center turn lane. Add 6’ landscape boulevards with an 8’ shared-use path on the north and a 5’ sidewalk on the south for separated pedestrian and bicycle mobility and safety. Provide intersection improvements to the Whitefish Stage Road intersection including dedicated turn lanes, signalization, storm drainage, roadway lighting, and surfacing with Portland cement concrete pavement (PCCP). PCCP will be required for all improvements west of the Stillwater Bridge and will tie into existing PCCP on the west side of the Hutton Ranch Road Intersection. Replace and widen the bridge deck of the Stillwater River bridge. Construct improvements including curbing and drainage on Whitefish Stage Road from West Reserve Drive to 0.5 miles north of the intersection to bring it to urban standards.
