East Commercial Street is open. No more detours
The months-long Commercial Street improvement construction project came to its final conclusion in a Grand Opening ribbon cutting of the street on Friday, Aug. 15.
Weiser Mayor Randy Hibberd expressed his appreciation to Weiser Public Works Director Mike Campbell for his foresight and vision on the project.
“It was his vision a long time ago to repair Commercial Street,” Hibberd said. “A lot of problems were created when it was first made, so he saw funding was available, put the project together, and saw it through to its finish.
“This is a great renovation to Commercial Street and we want to thank him and everyone else who was involved in this,” he said.
Commercial Street’s merchants are holding a “Welcome Back” open house Saturday, Aug. 16, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with refreshments and shop specials.
Support local businesses!

Cove Road closed to thru traffic

During Monday’s Aug. 11, Washington County Commissioners meeting, Road and Bridge Supervisor Jerod Odoms reported traffic control signs had been placed that morning, closing Cove Road to thru traffic where East Main Street becomes Cove Road, and at the Couper and Cove Road intersection in preparation for construction to begin on Cove Bridge.
Odoms said he had met the previous week with the contractor, surveyor, lead engineer, and LHTAC on the project, going over an outline of everything expected to happen as the project rolls out.
“So we'll see equipment coming in, then you’ll start seeing things move pretty quickly,” Odoms said. “They’re going to start taking out vegetation, the fences that we need to move, and then they’re going to start removing that bridge.”
“This closure will last until the new bridge is completed next year,” Odoms told the Signal American Thursday morning, Aug. 14. “The contractor will begin moving in equipment shortly.”
Once equipment has been moved in only authorized officials and personnel will be allowed at the bridge construction site.

Gusty winds Tuesday night resulted in damage to one of Weiser Middle School's three big trees located on the southeast lawn bordered by East Galloway Avenue and East 4th Street. School District lawn and grounds maintenance staff removed large limbs that had come down in the storm. Superintendent Dave Kerby said a professional arborist will be looking at the tree on Thursday to give an opinion as to its condition and if it is salvageable.
With winds predicted to gust and blow up to 22 miles per hour tonight and then, again Thursday night, the District is asking folks to stay off of that section of the school's grounds and away from the area where the damaged tree is standing for their own safety.

The much needed improvement to the transportation corridor of Commercial Street is coming closer to completion. Nampa Paving was at work on the project Tuesday, July 8, putting down the first layer of asphalt. According to Weiser Mayor Randy Hibberd, the project is scheduled to be complete by July 29.
The same morning, crews with Granite Excavation were installing curb and gutter along the hill above Memorial Park, with sidewalk to be poured sometime in the next week or so. And just over a couple of blocks west of there on Howard Avenue, crews with DirtCo Inc were finishing some groundwork for the continuation of the sidewalk project that started at Weiser High School last year. The final plan is to have a complete, connected walking path that extends all the way to Memorial Park and to downtown.
