The West Downtown Neighborhood Plan is a collaboration between the City of Boise, the West Downtown Neighborhood Association (WDNA), CTA Architects Engineers, residents and business owners to plan for the neighborhood’s future.
The purpose of developing a neighborhood plan for West Downtown is to craft a vision and set community-held preferences to guide the growth and inform decisions impacting the neighborhood for the next 10-12 years. Gathering community input was key to this process, and we appreciate everyone who participated through survey, in-person meetings, and providing photos and feedback.
We are pleased to share the final version of the West Downtown Neighborhood Plan. You can download and view the neighborhood’s Master Plan Here.
Once the plan has been formally accepted by our board, the plan will move to Planning and Zoning for approval, then finally City Council for approval and official adoption.
