Banner Bank Building Update, elevator core is up to 10 floors, only one more to go, and the are adding a floor of steel a couple days to a week.

I forogt a few things, The transit system plan, the city is doing a study on transit options and if things are right downtown will have a trolly system and a multimodal transit hub which is a six floor parking garage with a bus and trolly depot. They are also planning a rail system connecting the Treasure Valley through Boise. The Boise Airport, expansion is not far off becuase the Airport has already reach pre Sept. 11th levels in passenger traffic and the Airport was designed to handle that amount of passengers, and flights are expanding with permanent non-stop flights to Atlanta on Delta, and one-stop service to Calgary on Big Sky airlines and possibly a non-stop service when the airport gets a customs area. There are 3 options, build a new concourse and double the amount of planes that can land here. and build a 2nd terminal complex. relocate Orchard Street for new room for the hangars build a new airport further in the desert

I notiticed there is little disscusion about Boise so here's the rundown... Boise Tower, 299' goes to court again next month, if the city wins a team of developers will get the tower done. Banner Bank Building, 11 stories between 140-170 feet, origianaly 16 stories this building is on the rise through construction and will be completed later this year or next year. Hampton Inn at Bodo, 11 stories, construction is moving along fast along construction, all the way up to 10 stories and will be completed in November or December. The bottom 4 floors are a parking garage Bodo, a mixed-use retail/office project made up of a 2 floor and 3 floor building and parking garage. Will include an Edwards theatre, P.F. Changs, a large bookstore, and office space. St. Alphonsus advance trauma center, 9 floors. This tower will make Saint Alphonsus(i hope i spelled that right) the most advance trauma center in the Northwest. Construction is moving along well and will be open for operation in 2007. Royal Plaza, 6 floors, downtown Boise, approved but construction has not started. Park Place, 5 floors Still a proposal becuase of a conflict with KBCI channel 2. They say that the building will disrupt the signal coming from a buildin a block away. Project includes parking and a park on the roof. Thats not all, but all i can think of right now, i will update later.
