Anyone remember exactly when Eagle Road was widened from 2 lanes to 4? If I had the year I could research the Statesman archives.

I don't know the exact year but my guess has to be somewhere in the mid-90s. I went to Lowell Scott 90-93 and I remember it being just 2 lanes that whole time. Man, how things have changed. That school was out in the middle of fields back then.
As for the freeway, the Boise area is really behind the 8ball here. They need to do something soon or it's going to get ugly. Even if they need to create some Expressways, they need something.
