This project proposes to rebuild Victory Road in Nampa Idaho between Sugar Street and Happy Valley Road. The corridor lies south of the Nampa Municipal Airport, neighboring three schools, and is in the vicinity of the Gateway Mall and St. Alphonsus Hospital.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2 / 17 4. Describe the total project in detail:
Specify which parts this funding will cover.
This project was previously identified as the highest scoring for the City but was not funded in the last round of applications. Victory Road between Sugar Street and Happy Valley Road is a high volume, congested arterial in failed condition with inadequate pedestrian facilities. This project will rebuild and overlay 1.2 miles of roadway and add 5' wide shoulders for pedestrian and student safety. Improvements include road excavation, road ballast, asphalt surfacing, pedestrian facilities, lighting, signage and striping. The added pedestrian facilities are critical to protect students traveling to Endeavor Elementary located on Victory Road. Widened shoulders will accommodate cyclists and improve visibility for pedestrian traffic. This regional corridor was scheduled for improvement in 2015 but funding was not
available. Intersections at Victory/Happy Valley and Victory/Kings are already planned to be improved with roundabouts in the next two years. This project will complement these intersection improvements providing 1.2 miles of improved corridor.
Provide abbreviated description for use in ranking documents
Victory Rd (Sugar St to Happy Valley Rd) is a congested arterial in a failed condition. This project will rebuild 1.2 miles of roadway adding 5' shoulders for student and pedestrian safety.
PURPOSE AND NEED
3 / 17 5. Describe why this project is needed by your agency and important to the region:
Victory Road between Sugar St. and Happy Valley Rd. serves over 5,000 vehicles per day. The deteriorated two lane roadway serves as a regional corridor for residential, commercial, and industrial traffic between Nampa and Ada County. Pavement Condition Index is 20 out of 100, indicating the roadway is severely failed and in need of full rebuild. The failed roadway surface, lack of shoulders, and minimal street lighting are safety concerns. Potholes and major cracking require frequent Street Division maintenance efforts. Victory Road is one of only three east/west streets south of I-84 to connect Nampa and Ada County. It provides critical access to the Nampa Municipal Airport, Gateway Mall area, St. Alphonsus Hospital, and downtown Nampa. The corridor will see increased demand as planned development continues in east Nampa, Meridian, and Kuna. This maintenance project is a critical need according to both the Transportation Master Plan and Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan.

3. Explain how the project will support or connect with the mode(s) selected in Question #2b:
Provide proximity to public transportation or other existing transportation services.
The project will rebuild a section of Victory Road from Sugar Street to Happy Valley Road. Victory Road is classified as a minor arterial that is currently in failed and poor condition. The project will widen the road to include a 12 foot lane each direction and 5-foot wide shoulders. The pedestrian facilities are critical to protect students traveling to Endeavor Elementary located on Victory Road. The widened shoulder will accommodate cyclists and improve visibility for pedestrian traffic.This is a priority project in the Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan and the Pavement Management Plan.
11 / 17 4. Describe how the COMPASS Complete Streets Policy is incorporated into this project:
(COMPASS Complete Streets Policy)
If the project does not contain any aspects of the Complete Streets Policy, explain why not.
COMPASS Complete Streets Policy is incorporated into the Victory Road Rebuild project via the shoulder widening associated with the project. The widened shoulders allow for a safe, efficient and economic solution for bicyclists and pedestrians to utilize while traveling along this mostly rural section of Victory Road.
5. Explain how this project maintains or improves safety and security of the transportation system:
Provide information on crashes or incidents at this location. In addition, list all applicable Crash Modification Factors (CMF) (Crash Modification Factor Clearinghouse).
There have been 33 crashes at this location from 2015-2019. This project will improve safety by providing a new pavement surface, a countermeasure which will reduce crashes by 47% according to FHWA-SA-10-005. We will also include new pavement markings and signs within the project limits.
6. Provide the current traffic volumes for your project area:
If available, include average daily traffic or a sample traffic count for weekday (Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday). Refer to the COMPASS Traffic Count web page (contains road, bicycle, and pedestrian counts) or contact COMPASS staff for assistance.
Automobile 5600
Bicycle 125
Pedestrian 125
12 / 17 7. Include an explanation of the method used to collect counts and the anticipated change in volume as a result of this project, if applicable:
Regarding the answers in Question #6, how did you get these numbers?
Traffic count numbers were taken from City and ITD traffic count data due to COMPASS traffic count data being unavailable at this location. Pedestrian counts are approximated based on student population and school district data.
8. Explain how the facility is currently congested and how this project will mitigate the congestion issues, if applicable:
Include as much data as possible.
Being a regional secondary arterial roadway, Victory Road has seen increased traffic counts and congestion as the valley has grown in recent years. It is heavily used for work and school commutes. Victory Road provides an alternative to congested Garrity Boulevard for commuters traveling east and west to the interstate and provides access to the east side of the city. Rehabilitation of the roadway and widening of the shoulders will improve safety and efficiency for vehicles and pedestrians alike.
9. Indicate if the project is located in an Environmental Justice (EJ) Consideration or Economically Distressed (ED) Area:
Select the option that represents the information shown in the map.
(EJ/ED Info Map)
EJ Minority Populations No
EJ Low Income No
Economically Distressed No
13 / 17 10. Provide explanation, if necessary, based on your answer to Question #9:
Though the project limits are not within an Environmental Justice (EJ) Consideration or Economically Distressed (ED) Area, Victory road is adjacent to "Low Income Tracts" as well as "Minority Block Groups", and the roadway leads west directly into such areas.
11. If the COMPASS environmental suitability analysis obtained in the Environmental Considerations Map identified potential environmental considerations in the project area, please explain:
(Environmental Considerations Map)
Flood zone (11.79),(10.28), (11.16), (11.02) Wetland (10.09), Flood 500 Year (2.15), (2.02), (2.11) Ag Land (2.14), (2.96), (2.24)
12. Provide any other relevant information regarding this project:
Other specific information is requested based on your project type. If you cannot tell the entire story about your project within the following questions, please return here and add content needed to complete your story. You do not need to repeat anything from Phase I or elsewhere in this application.
There are two planned future projects to improve the intersections at Victory Road and Kings Road as well as Victory Road and Happy Valley Road. The intersections will not be rebuilt with this project as they will be reconfigured with future projects.
14 / 17 13. Select the functional classification of the roadway segment on the 2025 Federal Functional Classification Map:
(Functional Classification Map)
Minor Arterial
14. Provide the life cycle cost:
Include the expected life cycle cost of your project and briefly explain the method used.
The life cycle cost is estimated to be $1,515,000 The initial rebuild costs are estimated to be $1,395,000, the maintenance cost for 20 years is estimated to be $120,000 in chip seal. The estimate is based on a two city performed chip seals with 2% increase in costs every year with an estimated $0.20/SF current costs. The estimate assumed chip seal would occur 3 years and 10 years from this year, 2021.
15. List the pavement condition index and/or bridge sufficiency rating:
Provide sources used to make your determination. (Interactive Bridge Map from the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council [LHTAC])
Data pulled from the City of Nampa's GIS system is indicated to be from 2017. The listed pavement condition index within the project limits is as low as 37 at the eastern limit, 45 towards the middle of the intended rebuild, and 69 at the western limit of this rebuild project. It's an opportunity to replace a failed roadway and maintain the integrity of portions of the roadway that is still in adequate condition.
15 / 17 16. Indicate whether the project is located on a freight corridor identified in CIM 2040:
(Freight Corridors, page 85)
