2200 Fairview Ave – New Path Community Housing – PP Type 1: CCDC has reimbursed $150,000 for this project’s Eligible Expenses which included sidewalks, trees, bioswales for stormwater, bike racks, and street signage.

301 29th St – Whittier Elementary – PP Type 4: Construction continues on Phase 2 of the Whittier renovation, which includes a substantial amount of the improvements being completed in the right of way (sidewalks, streets, plaza space).

Main Street and Fairview Avenue – Street Configuration: ACHD will be re-striping both streets generally from four lanes to three lanes with parking-protected bike lanes this summer. CCDC currently has no role in this project.
30th Street District – Urban Renewal Plan Amendment: CCDC has been involved in discussions regarding the development of a sports park since 2017.

The Agency is working with legal counsel and consultants to obtain appropriate scope of services and timeline.
30th Street District Public Art – City of Boise Traffic Boxes – PP Type 4: The CCDC Board approved the T4 Agreement between CCDC and the City at its February 11, 2019 meeting. Artists were selected on March 4. Art content was presented to City Arts & History for feedback on May 1.
