Ustick Road Concept Study, Midland to McDermott
Sponsor: Nampa Highway District
Status: Began in 2008
Identified in Communities in Motion as one of the major funded corridors. NHD will examine long-term function of the road to determine preferred alignments, setbacks and access management standards, in concert with planned land uses. Major portions of the study include evaluating R-O-W requirement, and intersection signalization options for this commuter corridor.
Ustick Road Corridor Concept Design, Eagle Road to Five Mile
Sponsor: Ada County Highway District
Status: Ongoing in 2010
This project seeks to accommodate future traffic volumes, improve connectivity and increase the overall safety of Ustick Road by evaluating vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian options. ACHD utilized the West Valley Community Plan as a starting point for the project design.
West Bench Circulation Study
Sponsor: Ada County Highway District
Status: Complete
A traffic study for the West Bench area. The West Bench Circulation Study will evaluate both 3-lane and 5-lane roadway alternatives for Cloverdale Road, Five Mile Road and Maple Grove Road, generally between Chinden and Fairview. These roadway segments are currently planned as 5-lane facilities in the ACHD Capital Improvements Plan and other planning documents. This study will evaluate the feasibility of constraining these segments to 3-lanes.
Western Canyon County Arterial Study
Sponsor: Nampa and Canyon Highway Districts
Status: Ongoing in 2010
Identified in Communities in Motion as a future regional corridor, starting at SH-45/Bowmont Road then west around Lake Lowell, then north to a connection on US-20/26 and possibly to I-84. NHD & CHD will examine long-term function of the road to determine preferred alignments, setbacks and access management standards, in concert with planned land uses. Major portions of the study include identification of alignments around Lake Lowell and determining the additional traffic that may be introduced onto ACHD's Kuna-Mora Corridor at the Canyon/Ada County Line.
