Summary
Downtown Boise’s 8th Street is getting a major facelift—pedestrian-friendly upgrades, new bike lanes, and greenery are on the way—but the construction chaos is hitting local businesses hard. With sidewalks still open but noise and disruption driving customers away, shops like Taj Mahal and Ruby Lou report steep sales drops, especially as summer foot traffic dwindles. The city’s push for geothermal work during cooler months means the project must run through peak season, leaving owners hoping the long-term payoff will outweigh the short-term pain.
