The Ada County Highway District is making plans to improve walking and bicycling routes on Fairview Avenue in Boise. This project will make it easier for neighbors to access schools, jobs, shopping, public transportation, and the Boise Greenbelt.

This project focuses on two sections:

  • Fairview Avenue between Cole Road and Orchard Street
  • Fairview Avenue between Orchard Street and the Boise Greenbelt. This section includes alternatives that touch Garden Street, Brown Street and 32nd Street.

Project Features

  • Connecting gaps in existing sidewalks
  • Paving new driveways and repairing existing driveways
  • Adding accessible pedestrian ramps
  • Adding pedestrian signals and crossings
  • Adding a multi-use pathway on Fairview Avenue between Orchard Street and the Boise Greenbelt

    Thank you to everyone who reviewed the design plans for Fairview Avenue between Cole Road and Garden Street – or joined us at the public open house at the Boise Rock School in April!

    Around 375 people participated in our online and in-person public meeting this spring and we appreciate the many thoughtful comments shared by the community.

    Take a quick look at the key themes we heard from neighbors.

    What’s next?
    In the coming months, the project team will continue environmental work and begin preliminary design. Your feedback will help guide these efforts.

    ACHD will share final design plans with the community next year.
