BTV is a series of projects that will separate vehicle traffic from train traffic in the 42 mile corridor between Spokane, WA and Athol, ID. to promote economic growth, traffic movement, safety, and train whistle noise abatement.
BTV was developed by SRTC, in partnership with several other agencies. The new webpage can be found here. Any questions?

Looks like Rathdrum will get a new bridge next summer where Highway 53 and 41 cross the BNSF line, and that the hearings on a better Highway 53 wants Main street in Rathdrum extended to Greensferry Road and the closing of the grade crossing at Mill Street, which will mean no grade crossings in Rathdrum, and I will bet BNSF will double track that area also, since it has double track on both sides of Rathdrum now and single track in Rathdrum because of the narrow bridge that will be replaced next summer with a wider bridge.
There's some exciting things going on over there! Since severing our ties with Kootenai Metropolitan Planning Organization this year, I haven't had time to keep up with most of it but tings are definetely starting to move!
