Idaho highway debate splits on new roads
Upper Snake River valley chamber delegates favor a four lane Pocatello to Ashton road and an Ashton to West Yellowstone upgrade. They oppose new roads until existing highways are repaired, criticizing Highway 91 as unsafe. An alternate Moss proposal would route south of 91 via Rexburg to Lorenzo then to Arco. A Rexburg meeting next Tuesday will organize a Highway 91 and 191 association.
