The additional work is targeted to be completed this year. ACHD will host a second open house in Spring/Summer of 2007 where there will be an opportunity to view and provide comments on the recommended alignment roadway network and the access management study outcomes.
All components of the study should be completed by Spring/Summer 2007. The study's recommendations will be presented to ACHD and the City of Boise for adoption. Right-of-way and construction will be scheduled in the future
