Long neglected thread needs attention much like long neglected neighborhood.
Update May 2016
A lot is going on, almost as much as Boise's CBD thus my opinion this neighborhood warrants a stand alone thread.
* Esther Simplot Park nearing completion, major site work done, finish work (landscaping, green up) in progress. Pleasanton Spur greenbelt connection will likely be opened by Memorial Day Weekend. Fence going up to keep users out of ongoing landscaping work to the north.
* Greenbelt: 3500' south (and west) side extension from Americana to Main under construction for months is nearing completion.
* Boise River Park Phase 2 has gotten funding from Albertson's Foundation, design work underway. (looking for source) Farmer's Union Canal new head gate and box culvert is complete including rerouted greenbelt at southern end of Veteran's Pond. Bank reinforcing partially complete along eastern shore of Veteran's Pond west of Farmer's Union Canal.
* CWI has closed on 3150 W Main as of March 2016, the so-called Bob Rice Ford Property.
* Proposed 120 unit affordable housing project for SW corner of 25th & Fairview. 209 W Fairview reported by Boise Weekly is inaccurate. AFAIK these are the relevant official addresses: 2419 W Fairview, 2403 W Fairview. 308 S 25th is the climbing gym and may not be related.
