Rivergate townhome development and neighborhood impacts
Boise
Summary
Sixty-six townhomes on the old Boise Housing Authority parcel near Whitewater Park Boulevard have neighbors worried about street parking, cut-through traffic on narrow local roads, and $500K-$800K price tags in a mixed-income neighborhood. The commission added a condition requiring ACHD and the developer to examine speed management, and the City Council gets the final say.

Impact analysis
Townhomes projected to sell for $500,000 to $800,000 each; no direct cost to taxpayers.
Buyers of new for-sale townhomes near the greenbelt, plus the Housing Authority, which can use sale proceeds for its mission.
Nearby residents, who expect spillover parking, added traffic and loss of the open 'forest' they use for walks and kids' play.
