Eisenman Road
Pedestrian Improvements
Pedestrian infrastructure improvements to support increased safety and connectivity for pedestrians in the area.
Background
Eisenman Road is an essential north-south link between Gowen Road and Lake Hazel Road in the Gateway East Urban Renewal District. This two-mile corridor serves various purposes, including supporting industries and businesses in the area and connecting residents to destinations across the valley. Residents in the area identified several safety concerns that CCDC incorporated into the Eisenman Road Pedestrian Improvements project.
Project Summary
In collaboration with the South Eisenman Neighborhood Association and the City of Boise, CCDC hired a civil engineer consultant, Civil Survey Consultants, to study and design pedestrian and lighting improvements to address the neighborhood’s safety concerns. In May 2022, the consultant provided the final, preferred design for improvements to CCDC, and in August 2023, Ada County Highway District (ACHD) approved the project for construction. These additions include:
- 5-foot-wide asphalt pathway between East Blue Valley Lane and East Blue Sage Lane, providing students a safe path to the school bus stop
- A retaining wall with a railing at Five Mile Creek, where the path meets the canal to further enhance pedestrian safety
- Overhead lighting at the intersections of Blue Valley Lane, Blue Lake Lane, and Blue Sage Lane to improve nighttime visibility
- Landscape enhancements for a more visually appealing setting
This project was completed in July 2024.
