Cyclists and pedestrians take over Latah near the railroad crossing.

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.

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
