The acclaimed Boise River Greenbelt will connect parks, downtown, neighborhoods and surrounding cities. Greenbelt advocates plan for exapansion of popular recreation amentities.
" 'Building a Greenbelt to the Snake River would be sweet,' said (Landscape Architect Doug) Russell. 'It would be one of the best greenbelts in the country.'
...In 1997, Boise began winding down a 30-year project: building paved pathways on both sides of the Boise River from Lucky Peak to the west edge of Boise city limits. The vision started in 1963, when the city hired a California land-use consultant to create Boise's first comprehensive plan. The consultant suggested linking Boise's riverfront parks â€" Ann Morrison, Julia Davis and Municipal Park â€" with riverside pathways. From that idea grew the Greenbelt. Today, 25 miles of paved path and 2 miles of unpaved path wind through Boise and East Ada County on both banks of the Boise River."
