Public invited to give input on corridor improvements along Chinden Boulevard

Map of the corridor being studied.

The Idaho Transportation Department, in partnership with Garden City, invites the community to attend an online meeting to learn more about a study to develop a stormwater drainage plan and identify corridor improvement projects. Future projects may include multi-use pathways that serve pedestrians and cyclists and other active modes along Chinden Boulevard.

The online self-guided meeting will be available from July 18 through August 1 at https://itdprojects.idaho.gov/pages/chinden-drainage-and-design.

The online meeting provides the public with an opportunity to review and provide feedback on study concepts for improved water management systems and future projects to enhance connectivity and mobility along the corridor.

The study aims to develop an integrated corridor plan to guide development and identify specific projects for future planning, design, and construction. This unified plan will ensure that consistent drainage and multi-modal facilities, such as sidewalks and bike lanes, are included with each new construction project along the corridor.

Currently, funding has not been allocated for future Chinden Boulevard improvement projects. Final recommendations and cost estimates are scheduled to be completed early in 2026.
