5. RECOMMENDED PROJECTS Residents Noted Crossing Issues at a Few Specific Intersections

Boise Central Bench Neighborhood Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan residents noted crossing issues at a few specific intersecꢀons. Each intersecꢀon will require its own review to determine the most appropriate treatment. 5. RECOMMENDED PROJECTS This chapter discusses project recommendaꢀons for the Central Bench’s pedestrian and bicycle network. These infrastructure improvements are intended to enhance pedestrian/bicycle access and circulaꢀon as well as help pedestrians and bicyclists feel more comfortable traveling within and through the Central Bench. This chapter focuses on engineering and infrastructure improvements. Lighꢀng at intersecꢀons should be carefully considered. Table 3 provides further informaꢀon on each project idenꢀ- fied in Figure 16. Projects in Table 3 are listed alphabeꢀcally under their respecꢀve neighborhood associaꢀon and roadway funcꢀonal classificaꢀon. The table indicates if the project is also included in one of the previous plans described in Chapter 2. Many of the projects in Table 3 will be evaluated using ACHD’s Community Programs prioriꢀzaꢀon process. This process considers a range of factors (e.g., proximity to schools, major roads, available funding, city or school district support, etc.). Appendix ‘B’ contains more informaꢀon on this process, as well as the results of applying the technical criteria to the projects below. Note that scoring in Appen- dix ‘B’ does not represent a complete or final prioriꢀzaꢀon of the projects. The majority of the projects were idenꢀfied by members of the public and agency stakeholders through the outreach process. Several projects have been previously idenꢀfied in the Roadways to Bikeways Plan or other planning documents. PEDESTRIAN PROJECTS Figure 16 shows the recommended set of projects to improve the exisꢀng pedestrian network in the Boise Central Bench study area. These projects will improve the connecꢀvity of the exisꢀng network and make walking a more comfortable and viable mode of transportaꢀon throughout the area. The projects recommended in this secꢀon were developed from a review of exisꢀng condiꢀons and needs, as described in the previous secꢀons, efforts to idenꢀfy all gaps in the sidewalk network on arterial and collector roadways, walking route maps prepared as part of the Treasure Valley YMCA Safe Routes to School Program, and comments received from the general public through the previously described public involvement process. Recommended pedestrian projects fall into four general categories: Table 3.

This may include filling in sidewalk gaps, improving crossings, and/or construcꢀng curbseparated pedestrian paths; however, given the mix of public comments in the area, more detailed study and public involvement are needed to determine the final treatments. Improvements in this area will need to address concerns for providing safe walking routes to the school while limiꢀng impacts to property and the character of the exisꢀng neighborhood.
