Our focus area is known as the Central Bench. This area is bordered by two major highways (I84 and I184) as well as highway 26 to the east. The Central Bench is located at the heart of Boise which presents a great opportunity to revitalize this area for the future. Two rail lines run directly through our focus area ending at the Boise Depot to the East and the Greenbelt to the North. There is rich history associated with the Depot and the Greenbelt has great potential to become a connector for other open spaces throughout the area. Other important elements of the site to be aware of are St. Alphonsus Hospital and the tank farms which will pose a challenge to any design.
