  • Updated Noise Exposure Maps & Noise Compatibility
    Boise Airport 14 CFR Part 150 Study Update Updated Noise Exposure Maps and Noise Compatibility Program Prepared for: CITY OF BOISE Prepared by: HNTB Corporation CSHQA Wyle Laboratories Synergy Consulting JULY 2004 (EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ADDED SEPTEMBER 2006) Boise Airport - Part 150 Study Update Executive Summary The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has approved the updated noise exposure maps and the noise compatibility program (NCP). The NCP is intended to reduce the impact of aircraft noise on people who live and work near Boise Airport. The Airport, owned and operated by the City of Boise, is the busiest air terminal in Idaho, serving 3.0 million passengers a year. In 2004, Boise Airport completed an update to its Part 150 aircraft noise and land use compatibility program. The two central elements of the Part 150 Study Update are: • Noise Exposure Maps, showing existing (2004) and forecast (2009) noise exposure levels due to aircraft operations at Boise Airport. • Noise Compatibility Program, or NCP, which including noise abatement, land use, and continuing program measures to improve aircraft noise and land use compatibility. The study presents current and future land uses in communities around the Airport and assesses the compatibility of that land use with the current and probable future noise levels. The study uses this assessment to formulate a realistic plan of land use and noise abatement measures, as outlined in the NCP, to reduce noise and its impact on people. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) accepted the Noise Exposure Maps in August 2005. Then in February 2006, the FAA approved many of the elements of the comprehensive Noise Compatibility Program, which consists of 30 measures that were approved in whole or in part.

Copyright restrictions may apply. Community and Regional Planning Executive Summary In consultation with the Central District Health Department, the Community and Regional Planning program conducted a bike share analysis that locates and optimizes the number of bikes and bike share stations for a 2.25-mile radius in the Downtown Boise area. After examining several bike share projects in other cities and studies of their methodologies two analyses from Seattle, Washington and Los Angeles County, California proved helpful in developing the Boise Bike Share Location Analysis. Using GIS optimization analysis to determine the optimal number of bikes and bike stations resulted in 140 bikes and 14 stations as the optimal finding.
