Eagle Residents Raise Pedestrian Safety Concerns on Horseshoe Bend Road

Boise, ID, October 14, 2026 —

Residents in Eagle, Boise, are raising concerns about pedestrian safety on Horseshoe Bend Road, especially near a shopping center. They point to heavy traffic and the lack of designated crosswalks as concerns for people walking in the area.

The Ada County Highway District has a project planned to improve safety along the road. The proposed work includes a multi-use pathway and a signalized crossing. However, construction is not scheduled until 2030, leaving a gap between the concerns residents have raised and the planned construction timeline.

The available information does not specify the exact location or length of the planned pathway, where the signalized crossing would be placed, or whether the project design has been finalized. It also does not provide traffic counts, details about reported pedestrian incidents, or information about any interim safety measures.

The number of residents raising concerns and the dates on which they did so were not provided. No individual residents were identified, and no direct statements from them or from the highway district were included. The reason for the 2030 construction schedule and whether the timeline could change were also not stated.

For now, the reported plan is for a multi-use pathway and signalized crossing, with construction not scheduled until 2030. Further details about the project’s scope, timing and current design were not available in the information provided.
