I live on this street. Honestly, it gets more foot traffic already than much of the town. There’s a school and many of the kids walk home. Which is rare in Boise. Unfortunately, the highway district has turned the street into a stroad and much of the day has a ton of car traffic at decent speeds.

But I am not buying the idea that they’re promoting foot traffic and busses so much as working with the three new(ish) businesses on the street to promote gentrification.
