Boise
Description
ACHD appealed the Planning and Zoning Commission's denial of a river system permit for replacing the 1954 Eckert Road bridge with a wider bridge including a 16-foot multi-use path, center turn lane, greenbelt underpass, and a roundabout at Eckert/Boise Avenue. The council granted the appeal 5-1 with eleven conditions, including caliper-inch tree mitigation and optional Alta Harris Park staging.
Impact summary
