Come view the proposed 2020 budget, a $123.2 million spending plan that includes projects to increase safety and mobility, which also provides for the maintenance and operation of Ada County's roads, sidewalks, traffic signals, bike lanes and related infrastructure. The proposed $59.8 million capital budget has 149 projects, including:

Improving the Chinden and Locust Grove intersection in coordination with the Idaho Transportation Department as they begin the widening of this important highway.

Widening Cole Road, McGlochlin to Victory Road, as well as the Cole Road and Victory Road intersection.

Improving Meridian Road between Cherry Lane and Ustick Road by widening it to five lanes.

Revamping Ten Mile Road, between Ustick Road and Chinden Boulevard.

Improving a large number of curb ramps and sidewalks for persons with disabilities in high priority neighborhoods that have been identified through ACHD's recent Americans with Disabilities Act Transition Plan update.

Providing safe routes to school and improving facilities for people who walk or bike with the construction of 25 projects, including bikeways, enhanced pedestrian crossings, and sidewalks.

Please join us for this early peek at the document, which will be published in early August for public comment and considered by the ACHD Commission for adoption on the evening of August 21, 2019. ACHD staff will be on hand to answer your questions about the budget or anything else you may have on your mind.

We will also have information about the FY 2020-2024 Integrated Five-Year Work Plan (IFYWP). Attendees will have the opportunity to get a first glimpse at the proposed $335 million capital program and see how ACHD may be improving the transportation system in their neighborhood in the next 5 years. After learning about the proposed projects, the public will be able to submit comments on the importance and timing of each project to help the ACHD Commission as they decide on a final program of projects. The FY2020-2024 IFYWP will be considered by the Commission for adoption on September 25, 2019.

Questions and comments may be emailed to projects@achdidaho.org.

Ever wonder how roads get improved, how signals replace STOP signs or how new sidewalks are added to older streets?

By its nature, the planning, preparing and building of multi-million dollar projects takes a few years -- but the resulting asphalt, bridges and sidewalks last for decades. Each year, new items are added to our infrastructure do-list. Citizens will have many opportunities to get involved and make requests in coming months before the ACHD Commission considers the spending plan for adoption in late August.

ACHD starts the budget process early to allow citizens a chance to impact the process, if not for the coming year then for a year or two down the road, so to speak. The first open house for the Fiscal Year 2020 Budget was held on March 14, 2019. Another public workshop will occur in July.
