Subject: Fwd: ACHD Community Programs
Betty,
Thank you for your interest in ACHD community programs for the West Bench Neighborhood Association. The link to our community programs webpage is http://www.achdidaho.org/Community/Default.aspx and our planner responsible for community programs is Justin Lucas (387-6157). I?e also attached an electronic copy of our community program application for your convenience.
Currently, we have the following community program projects scheduled in the West Bench Neighborhood:
Goddard between Christine and Milwaukee: Install sidewalk on the south side of Goddard in 2014
Milwaukee between King and Wesley: Install sidewalk on the east side of Milwaukee in 2012
Additionally, we are in the early stages of looking at two other possible projects in the West Bench Neighborhood:
Cole between Kettering and Mountain View: We are looking at completing sidewalk on the west side of Cole Road.
Mountain View between Cole and Ustick: We are beginning concept work on a possible project to install some sort of pedestrian facility along this road. I know you had expressed interest in doing something along this roadway when we spoke, and we expect to have 2 public involvement meetings on this project. In the meantime, you can contact the project manager, Ryan Cutler at 387-6202 for additional information.
Please keep in mind that, as these projects are in very early stages, we have not yet made a determination of whether or not they are feasible to be built at this time.
Also, as I mentioned yesterday, ACHD works closely with Boise City and the school districts to identify needs for pedestrian facilities. As such, you may wish to get in touch with the school districts to coordinate:
Sarah Stobaugh, Boise School District, 854-4120, Sarah.stobaugh@boiseschools.org
Don Nesbitt, Meridian School District, 855-4500, Don.Nesbitt@meridianschools.org
Please feel free to call me if you have any other questions.
Regards,
Matt Edmond
