Post Date:10/26/2022

ADA COUNTY- Halloween on Harrison Boulevard is returning to Boise's North End this year.

Beginning at 3:30 p.m. on Halloween, Harrison Boulevard will be closed from Hill Road to Resseguie Street. Only pedestrian traffic will be allowed.

The intersection of Harrison and Lemp Street will be open to limited traffic. Boise Police officers will help direct traffic at the intersection.

The road closure will end at 9:30 p.m.

In addition to Halloween on Harrison, there are several ways to enjoy Halloween in Ada County, from trick-or-treating to trunk-or-treating to Halloween parties.

In order for Halloween to happen safely, the Ada County Highway District calls on neighbors, drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and parents to do their part to keep residents safe.

Tips for Drivers

  • Use headlights at all times to help spot pedestrians and be more visible to those on foot and on wheels
  • Enter and exit driveways and alleyways carefully; Do not block crosswalks or driveways
  • Watch out for scooters and bicycles, and remember they move faster than people walking
  • Don't drink and drive - have a designated driver if you plan on drinking alcohol

Tips for Pedestrians

  • Use crosswalks and look both ways before crossing the street
  • Use a flashlight and reflectors to be better seen in the dark
  • When crossing the street, don't wear a mask that obstructs your vision

Tips for Cyclists

  • Use bike lights and reflectors
  • Use bike lanes whenever possible; when using the sidewalk, yield to pedestrians
  • Watch for passengers opening car doors

ACHD wishes everyone a safe and happy Halloween.
