My point toward you and posters is it beyond belief how someone can be favorable toward the agency. It’s comparable to someone saying “Congress is doing a very good job”.
Yeah, people still drive on the roads and Congressmen still still get reelected.

I lived in Boise for 16 years, and travel in Ada County at least twice a week now, including yesterday and today.

But did you have a comment on ACHD, or just want to hit those who did?

A review of the above comments shows I thought, what are these people thinking? Are they ACHD PR department employees?

cj petrovsky spouse of John Petrovsky. John Petrovsky of Ada County Planning & Zoning Chairman– two peas in a pod.

Mike Tomlin – the Michale Tomlin who lives in Garden Valley? Lots of driving in Ada County I suppose.

Anyone checks the declining readership of the Statesman lately? Any reason that Q&A can’t be on the ACHD website only?
Notice notice how the Statesman pretty much leaves ACHD alone- no critical op/eds about things liek $63,000 in ads or overpaid management and a director that seems to be a ghost.

ACHD is wasteful!
It has nothing to do with being an ‘county-wide’ road agency.

This is a shining example of good governance and best practices.

Happy Birthday ACHD, and enjoy the snow! The road gods must have a sense of humor.

Since then ACHD has changed their process to prevent a vocal minority from running roughshod over the greater good. Too bad other gov’t agencies don’t get this policy.

Anyway, the nimby’s of that neighborhood claimed the Curtis extension would destroy the neighborhood. Oh yeah? Go drive through that area now. Some of the nicest homes and properties of the entire Bench are in that neighborhood. It appears that almost all are owner occupied.

I dare any Curtis extension area resident to come on here and explain how they are worse off now.

They are very quick to respond to citizen concerns – either phone calls or messages to their “tellus” email hotline.

They seem genuinely concerned about efforts to make the infrastructure “bike friendly.” Some would probably criticize them for that… but what’s not to like when the road is designed to accommodate motorists and cyclists in zen-like harmony? (I was a charter member of their Bicycle Advisory Committe for 2 or 3 years.)

They’ve had the occasional stumble… 2 consecutive “North Curtis Road expansions,” … the legal wrangling with the canal people after the Maple Grove extension bridge was put in, etc. But considering the amount of work they’ve done, it’s gone remarkably smoothly. We have much better than average roads, IMO.

Now if they could synchronize all the lights so nobody who’s obeying the speed limit EVER has to stop at a red light!! (grin)

Keep up the good work, ACHD.
