Pathways Master Plan

This is a line data set representing existing and proposed pathways that are part of the City of Boise’s planned pathway network. A pathway is defined as any paved path intended for two-way, non-motorized travel such as biking, walking, or other forms of active transportation. Pathways are off-street facilities and are typically categorized as either shared use paths or sidepaths based on their physical setting. Pathways are a minimum of 10 feet wide (8 feet in constrained corridors where anticipated pathway traffic is low). Boise’s neighborhoods, subdivisions, and parks contain many walking paths that are not considered existing pathways for the purpose of this plan because of their narrow width and inability to accommodate two-way travel. Gaps in the planned pathway network will need to be filled using on-street facilities. On-street connections will either be sidepaths along arterial roadways or low-stress bikeways on collector/local roads. Developed with the plan’s goals in mind, over 110 pathway projects are proposed in the Boise Pathways Master Plan, making new connections throughout the City, including potential future development areas, and introducing 112 miles of pathway. Combined with Boise’s ~50 miles of existing pathways, the built-out network will string together a total of over 160 miles of pathways.

The data set was created from analysis completed by consultant Alta Planning & Design for the 2021 Pathways Master Plan. It included a review of existing pathways documented through City of Boise Parks and Recreation. This data was created by the City of Boise. This data is updated as needed. It is current to the date of publication.本数据集为线要素数据集，涵盖博伊西市规划步道网络中的既有步道与拟建步道线路。本数据集所定义的步道，指专供双向非机动通行的铺装路面路径，适用于骑行、步行及其他主动交通出行方式。步道属于路外设施，根据其物理布设场景，通常可分为共享使用步道（shared use paths）与路侧步道（sidepaths）两类。步道宽度不得低于10英尺，在交通流量预期较低的受限路段可放宽至8英尺。博伊西市的居民区、住宅分区与公园内现存大量步行路径，但因宽度不足且无法支持双向通行，本规划不将其纳入既有步道范畴。规划步道网络的空白路段需通过路侧设施补全，路侧衔接设施可分为两类：沿主干路设置的路侧步道，以及设于集散道路与地方支路的低压力自行车道。本数据集紧扣规划目标编制，博伊西步道总体规划共提出超110项步道建设项目，可在全市范围内（含未来潜在开发区）构建新增步道衔接线路，新增步道总里程达112英里。结合博伊西市现有约50英里步道，完整建成后的步道网络总里程将突破160英里。更多详细信息可访问：https://www.cityofboise.org/departments/planning-and-development-services/planning-and-zoning/comprehensive-planning/boise-pathways-plan/。本数据集基于咨询机构阿尔塔规划设计公司（Alta Planning & Design）为2021版《博伊西步道总体规划》完成的分析成果编制而成，分析过程中复核了博伊西市公园与娱乐局（City of Boise Parks and Recreation）归档记录的既有步道数据。本数据集由博伊西市官方编制，将根据需求进行更新，截至发布当日均为最新有效数据。
