Poplar Street, Cole Road to Curtis Road :: 2026 Arterial and Collector Capital Maintenance

The Ada County Highway District (ACHD) is designing changes for Poplar Street between Cole and Curtis Roads. The goal of the project is to improve pedestrian safety, calm traffic, as well as repair and resurface the aging street.

This project came from the 2022 Ustick-Northview & Poplar Corridor Concept Study that was adopted by the ACHD Commission in early 2023.

Proposed Improvements

• 5-foot sidewalks on the south side of Poplar Street where they currently don’t exist
• Shared bicycle/travel lanes (sharrows)
• Bulb-outs at select locations
• Speed humps
• On-street parking in key areas
• Traffic circles at the Eldorado Lane and Liberty Street intersections
• A pedestrian hybrid beacon (PHB) at the Cole Road intersection
• A raised intersection at Fisk Street
• Multi-use pathway improvements at the Curtis Road intersection
