Legislation and Policy Review City of Nampa Nampa City Code The Nampa City Code includes a number of ordinances pertinent to bicycle operation and design. These are described below. Restricted Locations Riding on the sidewalk is permitted under the Idaho Statutes (see “Restricted Locations” under the Idaho Statutes). However, the Police Regulations included in the City Code (section 6-5-3) prohibit the riding of bicycles on sidewalk areas in downtown Nampa, i.e. the area bounded by 10th Avenue South and 15th Avenue South between 4th Street South and Front Street. Riding is also prohibited in the interior area of softball and/or baseball complexes and on all sidewalk, approaches and entrance areas surrounding the Nampa city hall and civic center buildings, the building at the Nampa Recreation Center (section 9-5-2), and the interior area within the Stampede Skatepark. Exceptions to the above include where there are designated parking areas for bicycles. As well, the prohibitions do not apply to the Nampa city police department on duty bicycle patrol. Design Guidance The Planning and Zoning ordinance of the City Code requires that a “bicycle circulation plan” be prepared for sites of one acre or more in the Gateway Business District, Downtown Business Subdistrict, Downtown Village Subdistrict, and Community Business District zones. The Subdivisions ordinance states that “the city may require the placement of bikeways, pathways, or trailways to encourage non-motorized forms of travel and to provide safe, convenient and aesthetic alternative travel routes to common destinations such as schools, parks and shopping centers”. It goes further to say that pathways shall be required, located, and designed per the city master trail plan, the City’s subdivision and construction manuals, or “as required by the city staff or council”. Subdivision street requirements include dedication of the following right-of-ways:
Local streets with parking on both sides: 56 feet Collector: 80 feet Minor Arterial: 100 feet Section Line, Arterial: 100 feet
