Rexburg’s Public Works Team is committed to adopting the USDOT’s Safe Systems Approach, which designs roads to accommodate for human errors. This goal also aligns with the national "Vision Zero" movement, which strives to eliminate traffic-related deaths and serious injuries.
Safety is a collective responsibility shared by drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, the City, and first responders. This approach emphasizes Safe Roads, Safe Speeds, Safe People, and robust Post-Crash Care. Whether you walk, bike, drive, or use a wheelchair, we need YOUR insight!
We welcome your thoughts through our new Safe Streets for All Survey to tell us which changes you believe will best protect our community!

Tonight is the Night! Join us at 5:30 pm sharp at Rexburg Rapids! It's going to be a tremendously fun party, and we want to see everyone there!

UPDATE 10/31: All, we have seen the discussions revolving around this post and we want to take a moment to address it. First there was no intention of the City to mislead citizens regarding open bonds. There was some internal miscommunication regarding the info presented and thus it was presented to you in such a way. Yes, the bonds initially listed showed ones set to expire around the time this bond goes into effect. We’ve added more to the images to be more comprehensive. One that expires this year and two more with longer terms. Our team sincerely apologizes for any confusion and we hope residents understand the complexity of bonds mixed with the errs of humanity.
In our recent Town Hall meeting regarding the Police Station Facility Bond, City officials were asked if we had a list of current general obligation bonds that City residents are paying and when those bonds would be paid off.
The City reached out to Madison County Officials, who directed us to their website for this information. You can find it on the Voter Approved Fund Tracker page (search “Voter Approved Fund Tracker” or visit https://co.madison.id.us/departments/treasurer/voter_approved_fund_tracker/index.php). The County will be uploading the 2025 report soon.
Using the 2024 Voter-Approved Fund Tracker, you’ll see that:
• A Madison School District #321 bond, levied beginning in 2006, is set to expire in 2025 with an annual property tax amount of $3,388,750.
• Another School District bond, with an annual property tax amount of $1,312,988, is set to expire in 2027.
• The Madison Library District bond is set to expire in 2028.
If passed by voters in November 2025, the Rexburg Police Station Facility Bond (not to exceed $16.75 million) would have an estimated average annual payment of $1,505,976 over 15 years. The first annual property tax amount to be collected on this bond, if approved, would be in 2027.
Please see the Voter Approved Fund Tracker linked above for details that apply to City residents. As you’ll see, the City currently has no general obligation bonds.
For more information, visit our bond website at https://www.rexburg.org/page/rpd-station-bond, and feel free to reach out to Rexburg City Hall or the Rexburg Police Station with any additional questions.
🏛️We're hosting a Town Hall Q&A about the RPD Station Bond tomorrow evening (10/15), before our City Council meeting. Join us at 5:30 pm in the council chambers to learn more about the bond and take the opportunity to have your questions answered! 📣
Then, in 2 weeks (on 10/28), we invite you to visit our police station for a tour and in-person discussions with members of the department.🚔
At both events, we look forward to sharing more information and offering clarity about the bond with our community.💡
Together, we invite you to join us as we detail the lettering in the Veterans' Memorial and work to improve the landscaping around the park.

In honor of September 11th, the Rexburg Police Department and Madison Fire Department administrative offices will be closed tomorrow. Their emergency services will remain in operation as usual.
City Hall and our affiliated offices will be closed on Monday, September 1st, in honor of Labor Day. Emergency services will remain in operation as usual.
Trash normally picked up on Monday will be picked up on Tuesday, the 2nd.
Sending special thanks to our workers today and always!
✅ The main City Hall line will be the first to switch over, and it may be down for about an hour.
✅ Throughout the week, our IT team will continue upgrading our other lines across all of our City facilities.
If you need to reach us during this time, please be patient; we’ll be back online quickly. We can also be reached by email or through our contact form on the website (just click the blue Rexburg circle in the lower-right corner). Thanks for your understanding as we work to improve our services!
That said… sometimes life throws us lemons (or in this case, a few construction cones). 🚧 Road work unexpectedly began today alongside Porter Park on S 2nd W. While this wasn’t communicated to City teams ahead of time to avoid this scenario, we’re making lemonade of it together. That section of the road is reduced to one lane of traffic in each direction. With that in mind, avoiding that area as much as possible is advised, particularly during today's event, which is from 2-7 pm.
👉 Please allow yourself extra time when heading to the event and watch for construction and community traffic that will be heavy in the area.
An alternative to consider, the school district is offering two shuttles for convenient parking and transportation from the Junior High and Middle School parking lots. 🚍
Thank you for your patience, positivity, and community spirit. We’ll make lemonade out of this one, Rexburg style! 💛 See you at the park!

The City of Rexburg is preparing a bond measure for the November ballot for the construction of a new Rexburg Police Station. This evening, our City Council members will host a town hall Q&A before tonight's Council meeting to present and discuss information about the initiative with the community.
We invite you to join us this evening to learn more about the measure at 5:30 pm this evening (7/16/2025) @ Council Chambers: 35 N 1st E. Enter through the back of the City Hall for the main entrance to Council Chambers. We hope to see you there.
If you can't make it tonight, future events regarding the bond can be found here: https://www.rexburg.org/o/cor/page/rpd-bond-news
⚠️ Heads Up, Rexburg! We've identified a potential hazard with the new traffic light on Trejo and Yellowstone regarding the railroad crossing in the area. Crews will be working to program the light so that if the railroad light is flashing red, the traffic signal will not turn green. Programming on this light will delay the use of the light temporarily. Out of caution, our team will be bagging the light tomorrow until the programming has been installed. We expect it to take about a month.
💡❗ Please remember, while a traffic light is bagged, it is treated as though there is no light at that intersection. Safe Travels, Everyone!
