Pathways are paved paths intended for two-way travel such as biking and walking (cars and motorcycles do not have access). They are typically found away from roads or busy streets along rivers, canals, or through parks and open space. You can also find them along roadways where space permits. The Boise River Greenbelt and the Federal Way Bikeway are two local examples of pathways in our community.

Pathways serve an important purpose for both recreation and transportation. For decades, Boise has been trying to expand the City’s pathways. While those efforts have primarily focused on making the Boise River Greenbelt the well-connected system of pathways enjoyed by many, this plan seeks to identify opportunities for additional connections across the City.

The first step in the plan is a survey from users. The survey is currently open and will remain so until April 22.

Four Neighborhood Conversations are scheduled with the first taking place April 5 at Municipal Park (5:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m.). A full schedule for the conversations can be found here.
