Background
Amity Avenue functions as an east-west commuter route between
Nampa and Ada County. Traffic has increased in recent years,
causing bottlenecks and long delays.
The segment between Chestnut Street and Kings Coner was selected
for improvements based on public input and engineering analysis in
late 2008.
Approximately $8 million from the federal government is
available for improvements to Amity Avenue.
