8th Street Improvements
Bannock to State Street

Community-driven infrastructure improvements that support economic and neighborhood vitality.

Background

Capital City Development Corporation (CCDC) completed construction to transform 8th Street between Bannock Street and State Street, furthering the vision of 8th Street as a dynamic destination within Boise’s downtown core. Construction has resulted in an extension of existing 8th Street features between Main Street and Bannock that make the street a desirable location for retail and restaurants while expanding accessibility for the public.

Project Summary

New street trees added along Bannock and 8th to add atmosphere and expand the urban tree canopy network.
The sidewalk from Bannock to Jefferson expanded to accommodate future patio uses and extend the pedestrian network.
Addition of protected bike lanes, extending the aesthetic and ease of access to local businesses for cyclists.
A dedicated southbound bike lane and northbound shared lane added to 8th Street. These facilities complete the bicycle corridor from the Boise River to the North End.
