The Boise River Greenbelt is one of the Treasure Valley’s most cherished outdoor resources. The 29-mile path runs from Lucky Peak Recreation Area to Eagle Island State Park, providing both a tree-lined recreational pathway for folks along the river and a commuter route for those traveling on foot or by bicycle to the cities and counties along the way.<\/p>\n

As more community members and visitors head to the path, TVP’s leaders want to remind everyone that safety on the path depends on shared responsibility and awareness of what belongs there.<\/p>\n

Here’s what you need to know about Greenbelt etiquette and safety expectations on the shared pathway.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Greenbelt is traditionally for walkers and bicyclists, but recently, there has been a sharp increase in the use of high-speed, motorbike-style electric vehicles both on the Greenbelt and on city sidewalks and pathways.<\/p>\n

Low-wattage e-bikes<\/strong> (750 watts motor or less) are permitted.<\/strong> E-bikes must have a classification sticker (1, 2, or 3) showing class, maximum assisted speed, and wattage.<\/p>\n

Traditional bicycles, scooters, and similar devices are also welcome on the pathway along the Boise River.<\/p>\n

High-powered electric dirt bikes and motocross-style vehicles<\/strong> (motor over 750 watts) are not<\/em> permitted.<\/strong> This includes e-bikes without classification labels.<\/p>\n

These vehicles can travel at unsafe speeds for a multi-use path and create safety risks for families, runners, and other path users.<\/p>\n
