Seemingly, there is an odd story for each of its 960 residents. This one involves a stoplight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It all comes down to geography and in this case topography, as is natural on Twelve Mile Circle. Here is Wallace:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d21574.608991526577!2d-115.93598694649353!3d47.47381766681515!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x5360f7d036cde3a1%3A0x13f817539562ab63!2sWallace%2C%20ID%2083873!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1619089149810!5m2!1sen!2sus\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wallace occupies a small, relatively flat valley carved out by the south fork of the Coeur D\u2019Alene River. It sits at about 2,800 feet above sea level. Surrounding hills thrust steeply upward several hundred feet above the valley floor. Homes and businesses fill the flatlands. Wallace has precious room to spare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll use a Street View image to further explain the situation. Go ahead and rotate it around 360 degrees. That will provide a good understanding of the buildable surface as constricted by rapid elevation changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!4v1619089715329!6m8!1m7!1soQTSCooKdcrpRkB97RsOVA!2m2!1d47.47379870633775!2d-115.9239067611337!3f182.66!4f-3.6500000000000057!5f0.5970117501821992\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blocking a Freeway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you notice that this image comes from the deck of an elevated freeway? That\u2019s part of the story too. Viaducts take longer to build, require more material, and present greater engineering challenges than surface freeways. They are also significantly more expensive to build and maintain, and yet, an elevated freeway traverses Wallace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No interstate highway in the United States travels further than <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Interstate_90\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Interstate 90<\/a>. It takes a daunting 3,099 miles journey between Boston, Massachusetts and Seattle, Washington. However, one small complication left this mighty highway incomplete until 1991. Every car and truck had to exit the interstate at Wallace, slow down to a crawl, and suffer its infamous stoplight firsthand before returning to freeway speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The residents of Wallace had nothing personal against freeways in general but they didn\u2019t want one flattening their town either. Original designs identified a surface route that would have obliterated their business district. The physical limitations of a narrow river valley offered few affordable alternatives. Sensing destruction and growing concerned, Wallace submitted documentation to the National Register of Historic Places to protect every single building from the onslaught of bulldozers and road graders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wallace_Historic_District\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wallace Historic District<\/a> comprised 80 acres and 485 buildings. It later expanded to protect another 1,000 acres and 301 buildings. So Wallace halted freeway construction rather effectively. Traffic plodded slowly past the only stoplight blocking progress across an entire continent. Residents withstood relentless traffic as their only leverage against obliteration. Pressure mounted on highway builders to fix the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jr98664\/5899070750\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/5061\/5899070750_f6d8787df7_b.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0728 (Wallace, Idaho via the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, surface streets and I-90).

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, reporting on the highway\u2019s 1991 completion, described the final segment as a &#8220;<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">cantilevered, five-story-high S-curve<\/span>&#8221; hugging the mountains [<em>link no longer available<\/em>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The residents of Wallace held a mock funeral for their stoplight just to show there were no hard feelings. They placed their beloved traffic signal in a custom-designed coffin and enshrined it in the <a href=\"https:\/\/wallaceminingmuseum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wallace District Mining Museum<\/a> where visitors can still view it today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will probably be my final story about Wallace. Even so, feel free to explore <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadsideamerica.com\/story\/13039\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one more fascinating fun fact<\/a> on your own. I\u2019ll leave that story untouched (no pun intended) to preserve just a tiny shred of decorum here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12MC Loves Footnotes!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a name=\"footnote\"><\/a><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><sup>[1]<\/sup>Matthew of the prullmw site countered this claim with photographic evidence from the Fremont District of Seattle, which led me to conclude that the true Center of the Universe must be <i>somewhere<\/i> within the Pacific Northwest.
