City of Nampa, Idaho
Planned
Roosevelt Avenue where the Wilson Pathway crosses the road (about .26 miles west of Midland Boulevard)
Upon implementation of pathway gap closure to the north
4.3.7 Intersection Improvements Sixty-nine intersections were evaluated for improvements. Sixty-four of those intersections are within the recommended bicycle network to improve safety for both bicyclists and pedestrians. The following four intersections (within the recommended bicycle facility network) have been identified as having at least three bicycle and pedestrian crashes in the past five years: •
12th Avenue South and Valley Drive; one bicycle crash and three pedestrian crashes (one fatal pedestrian crash)
•
Caldwell Boulevard and Canyon Street; three bicycle crashes, one pedestrian crash
•
Flamingo Avenue and Midland Boulevard; two bicycle crashes, one pedestrian crash
•
Lake Lowell Avenue and Midland Boulevard: three bicycle crashes, one pedestrian crash
The following two intersections are outside of the recommended bicycle network, but have been added to the improvement list. These two intersections have had at least three bicycle and pedestrian crashes in the past five years: •
11th Avenue South and 1st Street South; six bicycle crashes
•
12th Avenue South and 9th Street South; two bicycle crashes, one pedestrian crash
Five crashes have been recorded at the following three-way intersection, however, the City plans to remove the crosswalk at this uncontrolled intersection: •
12th Avenue South and Colorado Avenue; three bicycle crashes, two pedestrian crashes
The intersection evaluation process is intended to identify some implementation priorities. However, the evaluation only considers two factors, safety and community connections. Intersection improvements should be implemented in conjunction with bicycle facility projects, in response to safety issues, with roadway improvement projects, and when funding opportunities occur.
Evaluation Criterion Safety
Intersections were three or more pedestrian and bicycle crashes were reported in the last five years received the highest possible score, with an additional weight multiplier of two. Community Connections
Intersections that allow pedestrians and bicyclists to safely cross the roadway are vital aspects to the overall connectivity of the pedestrian and bicycle network. Intersections within a ¼ mile of schools, transit stops, parks and trailheads were evaluated in under this category.
