SANDPOINT — The Sandpoint Urban Area Transportation Plan — a project created in collaboration by multiple agencies and cities — was approved Tuesday by Bonner County commissioners.

“The Road and Bridge Department has been working with the local Highway Technical Assistance Council, AECom engineers, and the cities of Sandpoint, Dover, Kootenai and Ponderay to develop an urban area transportation plan using grant money for transportation planning,” Bonner County Road and Bridge Department staff engineer Matt Mulder said.

Mulder told commissioners that no county money was being spent on the project, as it was funded by grant money that had been applied for by the individual cities. The county was part of the cities’ workshops because it has some jurisdiction in the urban areas, he added.
