      • Public Comments Verbatim (PDF)
      • Add two projects to Communities in Motion 2050 (CIM 2050):
        • Add an overpass at State Highway 16 connecting to Valnova Drive in Ada County.
        • Add a study to extend State Highway 16 south of Interstate 84 to Bowmont Road south of the City of Nampa in Canyon County.
      • Three additional projects are proposed to be added to the TIP that do not require an amendment to CIM 2050. In addition, a
        significant reduction in the scope and cost of an existing study is proposed.

        • Add a comprehensive funding and financing strategy study for restoring intercity passenger rail along the Pioneer Corridor.
        • Add a corridor-level planning and design project for an extension of Lake Hazel Road in the City of Boise.
        • Add a three-part connectivity and safety improvement project on the Northside Corridor in the City of Nampa.
        • Remove funding and decrease the scope of a study to extend State Highway 69 (Meridian Road) south of the City of Kuna. The funding would be moved to the State Highway 16 extension project (above).
    • Proposed amendment #10 to the long-range transportation plan, Communities in Motion 2050, and the DRAFT FY2027-2033 Transportation Improvement Program
    • Amendment #6 to the FY2026-2032 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
      • Public Comments Verbatim (PDF)
      • The City of Nampa requested to increase the construction costs on an intersection improvement project at Northside Boulevard and Karcher Road by almost $4.6 million to cover the final engineer’s estimate. The cost increase is due to the complexity of the project and accommodating double truck trailers near the Amalgamated Sugar factory.

      • This amendment would significantly increase the cost of an existing project and add two projects.
        • Proposed Cost Increase, Existing Project: The Idaho Transportation Department requested to increase the design costs on a project to
          improve mobility along Interstate 84 in southern Idaho by $5 million to complete final design. An ongoing study will determine the
          most effective locations and improvement types.
        • Proposed New Project: 43rd Street, Ustick Road to the Boise River Greenbelt, City of Garden City (Ada County Highway District). Add a
          project to purchase right-of-way for a future project to rehabilitate the roadway and improve pedestrian and bicycle travel.
        • Proposed New Project: Swan Falls Bridge (Ada County Highway District). Add a project to design a bridge over Indian Creek and the
          Union Pacific Railroad in the City of Kuna.
    • Administrative Modification #12 to the FY2026-2032 Transportation Improvement Program
      • Public Comments Verbatim (PDF)
      • The changes would expand an existing pavement restoration project to include ramp improvements at the Ten Mile Road Interchange in Meridian, in addition to planned work on interstate ramps at Franklin Road (Boise) and Garrity Boulevard (Nampa). This work focuses on restoring ramp surfaces using a mill-and-inlay treatment to improve ride quality and extend pavement life. The proposal also adds a new project to design pavement maintenance improvements on 5th Street between Front Street and Jefferson Street in Boise, with construction anticipated in a future phase.
