Milwaukee Park Pathway

Background

The City of Boise’s Pathway Program is working with Boise Parks and Recreation to expand access to Capital High School, Milwaukee Park, Spaulding Ranch, and other nearby schools with a new pathway that runs along the Tuttle Lateral. This pathway will provide a safe and accessible bicycle and pedestrian connection for users of all ages and abilities, knitting together Boise’s West Bench neighborhoods.

The new Milwaukee Park Pathway will connect Cole Road to Milwaukee Street near Capital High School, running along the Tuttle Lateral within the Spaulding Ranch site and north of Milwaukee Park.

Construction mobilization is expected to start on Monday, October 5.

Project Impact

The Milwaukee Park Pathway running along the Tuttle Lateral is identified as a near-term opportunity in the Boise Pathway Master Plan and has long been a priority for the city, school district, and nearby Neighborhood Associations. The project’s benefits include:

  • Creating safe and comfortable connections to the three schools, four parks, and seven bus stops within a mile, and adding a new safe route to schools.
  • Providing new pathway access for 2,900 nearby neighbors and 600 students.
  • Supporting connections to other nearby pathway projects, including the recently completed Settlers Canal Path and ACHD’s planned pedestrian improvements on Glenwood Street and Mountain View Drive.
  • Expanding ADA-accessible connectivity.
  • Providing comfortable and enjoyable routes for recreation and commuting away from traffic.

Project completion estimates are subject to change due to volatility in the construction industry. Current challenges include material availability, rising costs, supply chain disruptions, staffing shortages and more. Boise Parks and Recreation will update project timelines as needed if delays occur.
