New community walking opportunity at the MEC begins Monday
As the cold and winter months approach, the Pocatello community needed a new place to walk. After Pine Ridge Mall closed to the public for renovations, many residents lost their usual walking spot, and the Mountain View Event Center, or MEC, wants to change that. Starting Monday, Nov. 2, the MEC, located at 1567 Way to Grace Ave., will host Walk in the ICCU Fieldhouse from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Monday through Friday. There is no daily fee. The only cost is a $25 annual fee. “Now that we’ve got the expanded ICCU Fieldhouse, we thought the morning time would work great,” MEC executive director Shelton Robinson said. “We’ll be able to have a dedicated space for the walking. It’s something we’ve thought about for a long time, and now we have that extra space to provide that for our community.” The program is intended primarily for the colder months, though MEC may continue it into warmer weather if demand remains. Walking may be unavailable on some Fridays because of larger events at the facility, and MEC said it will publicize any schedule changes.

Pocatello’s Center Street underpass, Benton Street bridge on track to reopen by year’s end
POCATELLO — Construction on the Center Street underpass and the Portneuf River bridge on West Benton Street is moving forward, with traffic access expected to be restored at the bridge in mid-November and at the underpass by the end of the year, according to a news release from the city of Pocatello. The Center Street Underpass Project has reached a new phase in construction. Crews have installed pile shoring that will provide temporary structural support along the northeast and northwest side of the underpass. Crews are currently working to pour concrete for the foundation footings and lower walls in these areas. This project also includes several improvements such as construction of new retaining walls, upgrading sidewalks and the installation of a pedestrian bridge along the west side of the underpass. The work continues to go steadily despite the difficulties of working under a railroad. The funding for this project is $11,230,135 and comes from a variety of sources. Rep.
