Thanks for finding that.
I wonder how Idaho Falls plans to keep up with all that growth. I'd be disappointed if Idaho Falls continues expanding out but not up. I hope I.F. chooses to go for the infill and redevelopment route.
I have a proposal- if Idaho Falls expands its city limits from 17 to 20 square miles over 20 years, and raises the density from 3200 people per square mile to 4200 people per square mile, sprawl would finally be under control without expanding too much and leaving plenty of room for agriculture. Of course that would call for more public transit and tighter living quarters, which eastern Idaho doesn't exactly embrace.
One can dream...
I don't want my hometown to mimic a suburb, which seems to be the case every time I visit. Imagine how incredible the city would be if city planners and developers focused on downtown and the run-down areas just as much as they do for the east and south sides...
On a side note, wouldn't it be awesome if the water tower was converted into a observation tower?
