This $561,900.31 Formula Grant awarded by the Federal Highway Administration (CFDA 20.205 - Highway Planning and Construction) will support the Idaho Department of Transportation (IDT) in planning and designing 12 multimodal transportation projects in the cities of Boise and Garden City. The projects will provide low-stress, multimodal connections between a community separated by major transportation infrastructure, including Interstate 184 and US 20/26. The funding will enable the filling of sidewalk gaps, signalization of crossings, implementation of ADA-accessible pedestrian ramps and signals, construction of multiuse pathways and designated bicycle facilities, transit stop upgrades, and evaluation of green stormwater infrastructure to prevent runoff into the Boise River. This federal grant award aims to enhance transportation safety, mobility, and connectivity throughout the region, although construction of the planned projects is currently unfunded.
