>   1.  Thorncreek to Moscow Highway 95--An Environmental Impact Study has
>       been conducted and sent to D.C.  Once it is approved then the Feds
>       have to go through a Legal Sufficiency Review.  Hopefully this will
>       all be done within the next few months.  The earliest that work
>       might start is 2015.  The Department has $20 million reserved for
>       the project.  The eight mile stretch is the most dangerous section

>       in the past 10 years.
