Boise city orders partial closure of Idaho Street over structural concerns

Posted by Tobi Tarwater on Sunday, July 7, 2024

ACHD reports that at the request of the City of Boise, they will be closing the sidewalk, bike lane and right lane on Idaho Street between Capitol Boulevard and 8th Street.

ACHD reports the city is concerned with structural integrity concerns with the Union Block Building. The city posted a Notice to Vacate the building as of Thursday afternoon. The Union Block Building is home to Mai Thai and Moon's Kitchen Café.

Pho Nouveau tells CBS2 they have not received any word from the city to vacate, and they remain open and operating. Pho Nouveau is technically in the next building over in the Fidelity Building. The same is true of Diablo and Sons, connected to Bitter Creek and Red Feather, despite abutting Mai Thai and the Union Block Building.

Drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians are reminded to follow all detour signs and not to attempt to pass through any portion of the roadway or sidewalk.

CBS2 is working to gather more information, and we will continue to update this story.
