Last week, the Idaho Transportation Department announced that over the summer, almost one person per day was killed in a traffic crash in the Gem State.
Over 100 days, 88 people died; nine of those were in Ada County and eight were in Canyon County.
The Boise Bicycle Project wants to help bring those numbers down while showing everyone what a car-free community space can look like. So this Sunday, they’re hosting Open Streets Boise along a mile of Ustick Road in West Boise.
Devin McComas, the executive director of the Boise Bicycle Project, joined Idaho Matters to tell us more.
