MAyor’s MessAgeA Season of Change, in a Year of progress

there isn’t a bad time of year in boise. every season brings beauty and opportunity all its own.

but i have to admit that i like fall the best. that color-filled transition between the long, warm days of summer and the brisk, frost-covered weeks of winter puts everything there is to love about the “city of trees” into gorgeous relief. No wonder that autumn is one of the busi-est times of year for city-sponsored activities—as the jam-packed guide

you’re holding clearly demonstrates.these offerings follow on the heels of several major projects, both announced and com-

pleted, that will expand the menu of activities even more going forward. some examples:Work is under way on a major upgrade to rhodes skatepark, west of the Linen District

under the connector. the makeover, the product of a new community partnership and a $1.25 million gift from the J.a. and kathryn albertson foundation, will make rhodes a premier Northwest skating destination.

the 55-acre esther simplot Park, adjacent to the boise river Whitewater Park west of downtown, continues to take shape. the project will create 17 acres of ponds, beaches, a playground, and a pathway through a natural wetlands area.

construction is expected to begin this fall on Molenaar Diamond Park on Maple grove road in West boise. the first phase of work on the 20-acre park will include a pond, trees, irrigation, a parking lot, and open grassy areas with three designated soccer fields. comple-tion is scheduled for 2016.

the city’s purchase of 200 acres from the idaho Humane society will create better trail connections across a huge swath of the foothills—from Polecat gulch in the west to stack rock in the east and other city-owned property along bogus basin road.

and this November, boise voters will decide whether to continue the open-space preser-vation efforts that began with the 2001 foothills serial Levy. on the ballot: a new two-year, $10 million serial levy—this one for protection of open space not only in the foothills but also along the boise river and throughout the city.

all of these efforts are the result not only of the diligence of city of boise staff but also the resources and support of our many community partners and the residents we serve. Here’s to a great fall in boise.

sincerely,

David H. bieter

whAt’s new At BOIse PARKs & ReCReAtIOnVolunteers Needed for “Tending Our Foothills” Annual SurveyDo you love the foothills trail system? teams are needed to conduct an annual survey of trail users who visit the boise foothills on sept. 19th & 26th. available shifts include:
