‘A Total Disaster': Downtown Boise’s Road Closure’s Irk Drivers
A roadblock here, and roadblock there--spend any time driving around Boise's beloved downtown right now and you will quickly notice that there aren't many ways to get to where you're needing to go and just about every car on the road is in the same pickle.
