Zoning Code Rewrite – It’s Almost A Done Deal – What You Need To Know!

The final phase of the Boise Zoning Code Rewrite is upon us.  This is public comment time, which is when the CTNA can choose to participate followed by approval by the city. The time to voice an opinion is now or never!

This link to Boise Dev is a great summary of the rewrite. It also contains the public meeting dates starting 4/24 and a link to the actual rewrite draft. Centennial Neighborhood Association will be considering its position on the “Rewrite” at its upcoming board meeting, Thursday April 2oth. https://centennialna.org/event/ctna-2nd-quarter-board-meeting.

CTNA 2nd Quarter Board Meeting

Thursday April 20, 2023 @ 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM

Join in on our board meeting as we reflect on current issues and challenges for the Centennial Neighborhood.

  • Parks and recreational improvements: The city could consider funding for park upgrades, adding new amenities, and expanding parking spaces. Community engagement and feedback can also be gathered to prioritize improvements.
  • City of Boise Zoning Rewrite – It’s almost a done deal! There’s still time to comment before going before City Council this summer
  • Eagle Road safety: Options to improve road safety could include installing traffic signals, adding pedestrian crossings, improving road signage and marking, and increasing enforcement of traffic laws.
  • Public library in west Boise: The city could allocate funding for construction and operation of a new library in the west of Boise. The library could also partner with community organizations to offer educational and recreational programs.
  • Other issues: For other challenges, it’s important to gather information and data, engage with community members and stakeholders, and consider solutions that prioritize the needs and well-being of the community.

West Boise Needs A Library Too – Update!

Mark Salisbury updated CTNA tonight on the library meeting that was hosted by Mark and his wife, Amanda, last night.

“We had a great meeting last night! I’ve started working on a presentation for the library board / city council, which I shared with everyone who was present. I got some valuable feedback – thanks everyone who was here for your ideas. We got a little more organization, with several people volunteering to help this effort in a variety of ways. I’m excited to see where we go.

And the pie — lots of pie, it was delicious.

If you believe having a library nearby is worth some effort, I’d love to hear from you.

Thanks especially to Amanda Salisbury for all your help πŸ™‚
