Top issues during term (19)(Roads)
Downtown event season road closures and transit reroutes
The event aims to break even and benefits the Boise Development Cycling nonprofit, with a $1,000 prize purse added for the sprint.
Campus-area parking and transportation
A third parking structure is contemplated but only as a study.
Victory Road traffic and railroad crossing concerns
Valley Regional Transit FY27 priorities
VRT requests the full 5% of Boise property tax revenue under the MOU, roughly in line with prior commitments.

The developer will fund the Gardner Lane widening, right-turn lane, and traffic calming measures.

$65,000, with the city's share only about $4,771 thanks to federal reimbursement.
