Goals
The goal of the street network improvements is to improve safety and mobility for all users while accommodating future traffic growth and creating a welcoming downtown environment.
*Phase 1 of the project is expected to be complete by Fall 2024

History
The design was the outcome of the Eagle Road and States Street Concept Design, an effort that began in 2012. After working with the community and the City of Eagle to evaluate multiple alternatives, the ACHD Commission approved the City's request to design and construct the Quadrant Alternative. This alternative best balances the need to safely accommodate the expected traffic growth, minimize impacts to adjacent properties and parking, and make downtown Eagle more walkable and bikeable, as well as being respectful of downtown's history and small town feel.
