Illustrative vision
Broadway carries one of Boise’s strongest corridors of daily life, yet the experience at street level is shaped by wide lanes, fast traffic, and a hard boundary between the roadway and the surrounding districts. This concept lowers a central stretch of Broadway into a contained channel and restores the surface as a walkable civic spine. With narrower lanes, sound-softening walls, generous sidewalks, and pedestrian bridges linking both sides, the corridor becomes a place to spend time rather than pass through. By pairing transportation flow with a humane public realm, Broadway gains the character and coherence its role in the city deserves.
This concept is an invitation to explore a possibility. It is not an approved or completed project.
