8th Street Survey – Sponsored by City Hall

Over the past few years, the City of Boise has worked with businesses, partner agencies and the community to create a pedestrian-friendly 8^th Street including the expansion of restaurant patio seating and conversion to car-free space. Based on community feedback, the city will continue making improvements along 8^th Street to enhance the safety and accessibility for all users while creating vibrant public space and business-friendly environment.

We want to hear from you! 

We’re seeking your input on shaping the next phase of improvements for 8^th Street between Main and Bannock. Please take a moment to complete a quick survey and share your thoughts. Your feedback will help shape the design concept that will go in front of City Council later this year.
