Traffic and safety on Surprise Way corridor

Boise

Summary

Surprise Way is the only way in and out for nearly 600 homes, and the church expansion could add hundreds of cars during Sunday service turnovers. Neighbors worried about pedestrian and cyclist conflicts at the pathway crossings, the lack of a traffic study, and winter driving conditions. The commission responded with a required traffic control plan and crosswalk safety improvements.
