Participate in Our Online Open House September 8 thru September 25, 2020!
General Description:
The Eagle Road and State Street intersection is the gateway to the City of Eagle and an important part of the downtown core. As a gateway, it serves vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians of all ages who want to access local businesses, neighborhoods, the elementary school, and the senior center.
The Ada County Highway District (ACHD), working with the City of Eagle, is currently designing improvements to Eagle Road and State Street and the connecting roadway network which includes Olde Park Place, Plaza Drive and Aikens Street. Design began in the spring of 2020 and we will be sharing that work with the public (virtually) at the beginning of September.
Goals
The goal of the street network improvements is to improve safety and mobility for all users while accommodating future traffic growth and creating a welcoming downtown environment.
History
The design was the outcome of the Eagle Road and State Street Concept Design, an effort that began in 2012. After working with the community and the City of Eagle to evaluate multiple alternatives, the ACHD Commission approved the City's request to design and construct the Quadrant Alternative. This alternative best balances the need to safely accommodate the expected traffic growth, minimize impacts to adjacent properties and parking, and make downtown Eagle more walkable and bikeable, as well as being respectful of downtown's history and small town feel.
