The latest proposed developments, other construction projects and new businesses around Idaho’s Treasure Valley:
Boise
Concrete transit islands are coming to five bus stops west of downtown Boise.
The board of Boise’s urban renewal agency, the Capital City Development Corp., has authorized the negotiation and execution of a construction contract with Wright Brothers - The Building Co. to carry out the Main and Fairview Transit Stations project for about $718,500.
The transit islands will be installed along Main Street and Fairview Avenue between North 17th and North 27th streets. They are intended to enhance bus safety by creating a buffer between curbs and bike lanes to allow for in-lane transit stops.
The board approved a sixth island at Fairview Avenue and 27th Street to be installed in conjunction with the adjacent St. Luke’s Boise Medical Center construction project. St. Luke’s is building a five-story surgery center and outpatient services clinic, expected to be completed in late 2022.

The Boise City Council rejected a proposal on Tuesday to allow townhouses to be torn down on the Boise Bench and replaced by offices.
Tradewinds of Idaho had applied to build 40 townhouses at 2801 W. Palouse St. The project would have involved tearing down four houses and rezoning the single-family neighborhood.
Council members were wary of the developer’s request to have the area rezoned as an office zone, rather than a residential one, as a way to fit in more housing. The Planning and Zoning Commission previously denied the proposal for the same reason.
