City Planning Administrator Shawn Nickel reviewed the map stating the changes relate to updating the

future arterial road. City Engineer Ryan Morgan discussed roads that had changes in designations. Shawn
said there was a relocation of the Main Street intersection with Star Road in an effort to straighten the
curve that exists there. Mayor Chadwick stated that some proposed roundabouts have been removed.
Several of the proposed projects will be completed by specific developments. A light at Star Road and
Floating Feather is not on the current plan as a priority. Road alignment with Galloway in Canyon County
from the Valnova Development was discussed, it is unknown if that will be a highway or arterial; changes
will be included in a future workshop and public hearing. Mayor Chadwick stated that Highway District 4
may not be handling roads in Star after September 30th; the legislature is looking to have ACHD handle all
of the roads in Star for conformity.
