Peasley Street Connection Improvement Project

The Peasley Street Connection is open for use. Thank you for your patience as this project was completed! 

The Peasley Street Connection to Ann Morrison Park is an improvement project submitted by the Harry W. Morrison Foundation to the City of Boise. The stairway enhances bicycle and pedestrian access to Ann Morrison Park from the Boise Bench, improving access for more than 1,774 households within a 10-minute walk radius, along with park visitors from across the Treasure Valley. The improvement project aligns with the City of Boise’s goal of ensuring everyone has access to a park within a 10-minute walk of their home.

Project Approval

The Open Space and Clean Water Advisory Committee recommended the project to Boise City Council in February 2023. At the April 11, 2023, work session meeting, council members approved levy funding for the project. The improvement project satisfies conservation criteria of critical open space, trails and pathways, and community partnerships.

Design Details

The 103-step staircase (equivalent to eight flights of stairs) is made of flat steel grate and includes a runnel (a flat bicycle tire track along the railing) so that users can easily walk their bike up and down.

Additional accessibility elements include visual indicators and textured surfacing.
