Thank you for engaging with us! For this project, we're focused on: how is the best way you can receive updates from local government. Do you have any thoughts to share with us?
Perhaps you meant to share this post under "What's Missing in Rexburg?"
Affordable housing, bus service, lighting
From "Bringing Government to You"
Go to the project
- Rexburg needs more affordable housing. Housing costs and apartment rent has gone up so much a lot of the community is struggling. A lot of young families cannot keep up with the costs.
- Rexburg is growing fast and not everyone has a car or can drive. We need a bus or shuttle service similar to the one IF just started. The college students have the Walmart shuttle but that only benefits the college. It does NOT benefit the community because it only goes to select student housing complexes and then Walmart. The community needs a bus service that will take them to several popular spots around town.
- A lot of people bike and walk here. We need more street lights to help make it safe for those who walk/bike at night. Rigby is a great example of a town that is lit up at night. Also more sidewalks to help make it safe for pedestrians. Quite a few streets in town don’t have sidewalks.
