State Street as a Gateway
State Street is a strong connection point for many of our residents. Its proximity to transit, bike paths and pedestrian amenities make it a great investment as we make it easier for residents to bus, bike, walk and connect to opportunities in our community.
While some improvements to this important corridor, along Collister Drive and Veterans Memorial Parkways, have been made, with the input of community members, the City of Boise is exploring mixed-use development, improved bicycle and pedestrian connection points, as well as bus rapid transit.
Continuing to build upon the long-term vision established for the corridor through previous plans, there are several guiding documents that focus on how to integrate and implement mixed-use development at the major stations along the corridor and improve pedestrian and bicycle connections between stations and adjacent neighborhoods. (From the State Street Corridor Transit Oriented Development Plan, 2019).
Veteran’s Park Policy Guide
In addition to plans guiding the development of transportation along State Street, the Veteran’s Park Policy Guide provides recommendations regarding land use, housing and other topics.
Adopted in 1992, the Veteran’s Park Neighborhood Policy Guide became part of Boise’s comprehensive plan. This Policy Guide outlined three main goals:
- To preserve the residential character of the neighborhood, and encourage future development which will recognize its unique amenities and natural features and be consistent with that character; encouraging appropriate infill development and encouraging growth in adjacent areas without negatively impacting the existing neighborhood.
- To meet the service needs of residents of the Veterans Park Neighborhood for commercial facilities while reducing negative impacts from these types of uses on adjacent residential areas.
- To recognize State Street’s importance as a gateway to the City of Boise and encourage development appropriate to project a positive image of the City and the neighborhood.
