Boise Parks and Rec to Hold Community Meeting Re: Greenbelt Repairs

Boise (670 KBOI News) – If you’re a commuter or recreational bike rider on the Greenbelt, mark your calendars.

Boise Parks and Recreation is holding an open house next Thursday, the 6th, to talk about repairs that are soon to start, and they want your feedback.

Director Doug Holloway says they have a total of 19 separate projects getting ready to start, all to repair damage from the 2017 floods.

“With the large number of construction projects we have coming up over the next several months, it really felt like it would be a great opportunity to start soliciting that feedback, and see if our users have some good ideas on what (detour) routes they would like to see,” said Holloway.

Holloway says only two of those projects involve actual repairs to the Greenbelt itself, but the rest are bank work that has to be done, because erosion will eventually affect the path itself.

The open house is at the Main Boise Library, at 7 pm on the 6th.
