A bit of Boise news

Just in case you missed any of these stories...

• ACHD came out with a new bike lane policy "that will separate bike lanes from car lanes on arterial roads when those roads get updates. It would put bike lanes on the same level as a sidewalk and protected by a curb."
• ​Goathead Festival announced its 2021 date! Saturday, August 28 at Cecil D Andrus Park (in front of the Capitol).
• There's a new dog park open in Eagle.
• Aaaand I'm sure you saw The TODAY Show story on Boise & the rapid growth. I want to stop talking about growth and housing and all that... but I can't, ya know?
