Comments for “Boise Central Bench Neighborhood Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan”

Better pedestrian access on Camas St from Roosevelt to Cassia Park.

We would very much like to be able to walk from my home (north of the interstate in Greenhill Estates) to the businesses on the corner of Eagle/Overland. Also, my son wants to ride his bike to MVHS, but has to go all the way to Locust Grove and double back to the High School. There are so many amenities and businesses on both sides of the interstate, but it is suicide to walk or bike across the areas of the on-ramps/off-ramps. It is shameful that the areas on both sides of the interstate are not accessible to pedestrians/bikers who live and shop in the area. The only way to safely get across the interstate is to detour to Cloverdale or Locust Grove which is impractical for pedestrians/bikers because of the distance.

Sidewalks on Curtis Rd all the way from Overland Rd to Franklin Rd.

Sidewalks on Liberty between Franklin and Emerald.
-
Sidewalks on Liberty (both sides) unsafe conditions.

I hear talk of putting sidewalks in this area. How unfortunate that would be. This is a nice quiet neighborhood where one of our great pleasures is talking with our neighbors in the evenings as they walk up and down the street, often with their dogs.
The landscaping is beautiful and tearing up the neighborhood to put in unsightly sidewalks in lieu of the flower gardens and grass that are there now would be a shame.
It would also increase the burden financially for the many people now scraping by in these hard economic times. Please do NOT do this to us!

My husband and I walk often on Ponder and Hilton Streets. Hilton has partial sidewalks, but Ponder only has half the street paved with sidewalks. Not sure why... the whole thing needs to be paved. Also Phillippi is in serious need of sidewalks.
-
There's a part of Cole Rd that needs a bike lane - it just stops, then starts up blocks away. The street's dangerous enough without tempting drivers closer to cyclists because of the lack of a line.
-
We need to improve the pedestrian and bicycle experience where Orchard crosses the connector. There are no good options the way this area is currently designed.
-
I often ride north on Federal way and then turn left on Kootenai. As it is, this is really awkward to do. Kootenai is terrific past Vista, but the section between Federal Way and Vista is really not very nice. I believe there is a park planned for this area by Boise Parks and Rec. Maybe something could be done so the route to that park is pleasant for all transportation modes.

There is a dirt trail here that connects to Anne Morrison Park below. It is used by many bikers and walkers. Is there anyway to partner with Boise Parks and Rec. to make this a more useful pathway? This could help make up for the lack of connectivity down the Americana hill.
-
This Alpine corridor between the depot and Phillipi (including the stretch behind Fred Meyer) has a lot of potential as a bike/pedestrian corridor.
-
The Greenbelt connectivity here should be a model for the rest of the Bench/downtown connection zone.
-
We really need connectivity along Americana. At the very least a connection between the greenbelt and Latah. A bike lane, or maybe even a pathway like the one down the hill along Capitol.
-
We need continuous bike lanes down the Emerald corridor to the mall (including the freeway overpass) this would make access to the Milwaukee area much nicer.
-
This area (particularly between Alpine and Morris Hill) needs a bike lane! There are many great businesses here that are very hard to access by bicycle.
-
There are many small businesses between Vista and Orchard that we would love to access by bicycle. As it is, that is very unappealing. We need a decent bike-lane in this stretch.
-
The intersection of Bethel and Alpine is difficult to cross. You have to go all the way to Morris Hill or Franklin to get a protected crossing. Riding bikes is difficult to cross and to travel along Orchard. We prefer walking to Freddy's and local restaurants but find this less attractive because it isn't friendly to pedestrians. Easier to just ride downtown.

Difficult intersection to navigate on bicycle.
