World Trade Center Memorial Improvements
The Boise City Department of Arts & History is investing in improvements and accessibility upgrades to the World Trade Center Memorial. The public art, which is located at Idaho Fallen Firefighters Memorial Park along Shoreline Drive and the Boise River Greenbelt, was completed by artist J. Amber Klinsky in 2013 and incorporates a weathered steel beam salvaged from the wreckage of the World Trade Center. Steel from the World Trade Center has been incorporated into memorials across the country and in every state. Boise’s memorial will be cleaned, landscaping improved, additional lighting installed and accessibility to the site improved ahead of the 25th anniversary of the events or attacks of September 11, 2001. Thank you for your patience and understanding while the area is under construction during the spring and summer of 2026. We look forward to celebrating the improved public art in coordination with 9/11 remembrances later this year.
