Cloverdale Road Project

In September of 2023, ACHD reached out to the public to gather feedback on the design for the roadway and roundabout.

• Many favored the multi-use pathways for pedestrians and cyclists.
• Respondents believed the improvements would slow speeds and enhance safety for school children.
• Some suggested extending the improvements from Overland Road to Kuna.
• Several noted that construction should start as soon as possible, due to the area's growth.

Cloverdale Road, Amity Road to Victory Road

• Widen Cloverdale Road to two lanes in each direction, with a center turn lane.
• Construct curb and gutter and a detached 10-foot-wide multi-use pathway on both sides of the roadway for pedestrians and bicyclists.
• Install center medians to calm traffic.
• Install an enhanced pedestrian crossing (PHB) across Cloverdale Road, near Reutzel Drive.
• Use mulch instead of gravel in buffer space. *NEW*

Cloverdale Road and Amity Road

• Construct a multi-lane roundabout at the Amity and Cloverdale intersection.
• Add crosswalks at each leg of the intersection with two-stage pedestrian crossings.
• Install rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs) at each pedestrian crossing.
• Cloverdale, north and south, will have two lanes approaching the roundabout, with the left-hand lane functioning as a thru and left-turn lane, while the right-hand lane will function as a thru and right-turn lane.
• Amity, east and west, will have a single lane approaching the roundabout that will function as a left-turn, thru, and right-turn lane.
• Add curb, gutter, and a detached multi-use pathway.
• Include a truck apron for larger vehicles to use if necessary.
• Use mulch instead of gravel in buffer space. *NEW*

Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) RRFBs are pedestrian-activated flashing LED lights, typically mounted on existing crosswalk signage, that signal to drivers that a pedestrian is about to enter a crosswalk.

Rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs) will be installed at each crosswalk in the Amity and Cloverdale roundabout.

Research shows RRFBs can reduce pedestrian crashes up to 47 percent.

Multi-use pathways offer a safe space for pedestrians and cyclists to share, separate from vehicular traffic. Multi-use pathways are planned along both sides of Cloverdale Road for the full length of the project.

A Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) is proposed across Cloverdale Road, near Reutzel Drive.

PHBs facilitate safe pedestrian crossings by stopping vehicle traffic as required.

Studies show a PHB can reduce pedestrian crashes up to 55 percent.

When designing the roadway and roundabout projects, the project team had several things to consider.

• Safety for those who walk, bike, roll, and drive
• Bicyclists and pedestrian connectivity
• Property and neighborhood impacts
• Impacts to current and future traffic flow
• Utilities
