Project is substantially complete. 

Starting as early as June, the Ada County Highway District (ACHD) will start construction on the Warm Springs Avenue Pedestrian Crossings at Sky Bar Street and Maynard Avenue. Construction is expected to be complete early fall of 2023.

The purpose of the project is to provide additional enhanced crosswalks on Warm Springs Avenue and increase safety for those crossing the road.

About RRFBs

When activated by pedestrians pushing the button, RRFBs flash in a distinct pattern, alerting drivers that pedestrians are actively in the crosswalk.

RRFBs have several distinct advantages in enhancing existing marked crosswalks:

  • Increased pedestrian/bicyclist visibility.
  • Reduction in pedestrian crashes.
  • Increased safety with drivers more likely to stop for pedestrians/bicyclists using the crosswalk.
