ADA COUNTY- Bicyclists can now access the Ada County Highway District's Bicycle Map from anywhere with ACHD's newly-launched online version.
The Ada County Bike Map shows the bicycle network throughout Ada County as well as public amenities and features including bike shops, libraries, hospitals, schools, and parks.
The map is color-coded to show the level of comfort of each route. Users can learn more about each type of bicycle facility through a link on the map. The map also features different layers, including satellite imagery, topography, terrain, and more, to help bicyclists navigate the network.
With the map moving online, ACHD can also make ongoing updates to the map as the bicycle network continues to grow.
The online version allows users to access the bike map from anywhere, and also provides a place for users to report incidents along the road, such as debris, cars, or other obstructions in a bikeway.
Along with the map, bicyclists will find information regarding State of Idaho rules, bicycle facilities, and best practices. Also incorporated are different elements of the current guidelines and best practices for bicycle planning, including the District's Roadway to Bikeway Master Plan Addendum, Livable Streets Performance Measures, and FHWA Bike Network Mapping Idea Book.
The online desktop version includes access to tablet and mobile-friendly browser views accessible through a QR code.
The 2023 Ada County Bike Map is produced by ACHD. With each iteration comes improvements and new information.
The updated Ada County Bike Map is available on ACHD’s website. Physical copies of ACHD's Official Bike Map are also available and can be requested by contacting ACHD at (208) 387-6100 or achdidaho.org/tellus.
