Intermountain Gas, a natural gas company operating in Southern Idaho, plans to replace existing pipelines and service lines in Southwest Boise.
The company said in a public service announcement that the work will involve a short interruption to natural gas service for customers in the affected area. Intermountain Gas said a representative will contact those customers to schedule a brief shut-off and relight of appliances.
Construction is slated to begin May 1 and is expected to last three to four months, depending on weather conditions and any unanticipated delays.
The pipelines and service lines being replaced are located west of Cole Road and south of Desert Avenue in Boise.
Intermountain Gas said that any damage caused to property during the construction such as excavated holes in lawns, sidewalk panel replacement and holes cut in blacktop or concrete will be restored at no cost to the customer. Members of the public with questions or concerns about the project can call 800-548-3679.

The Boise Planning and Zoning Commission is taking testimony from the public this week on the city’s planned zoning code rewrite.
Testimony continues Thursday evenings. The Commission is expected to decide on whether to recommend the rewrite be adopted. The City Council plans to take up the matter in June.
If it becomes law, the rewrite would substantially change what buildings can be built in different parts of the city, allowing more density along transit corridors and making it easier to build multi-unit apartments in residential areas.
The city has pushed for the changes as part of an effort to combat housing unaffordability and to build a city fit for greater public transit, bike access and pedestrian use. Opponents have argued that the changes could alter the character of Boise neighborhoods.
Meridian
BPS Eagle Road LLC, a Denver-based development company, wants to build 131 apartments and 18,100 square feet of commercial space on Eagle Road north of Victory Road.
The apartment complex, called Artisan Victory Market, would be on 13.6 acres and include a mix of commercial lots and duplex-style units with one-, two- and three-bedroom options and two- and three-bedroom apartments, the application said.
“Small-scale commercial and multi-family residential is an ideal use on this access-challenged site,” the application said. “With only one access to Eagle Road, more intensive commercial or multi-family development in this area would significantly increase vehicles traveling through surrounding neighborhoods to access the site.”
The Meridian City Council is scheduled to hear the proposal at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 9, at City Hall.

BPS Franklin Road, LLC, also a Denver-based company that appears to be affiliated to BPS Eagle Road LLC, wants to build 122 apartments on 11.5 acres.

The apartment complex would include a club house with a pool, hot tub, splash pad, gym, conference room and covered patio. The apartments would be located in the Ten Mile Crossing area plan, a city-established area plan near the Ten Mile interchange on Interstate 84.
The Meridian City Council is scheduled to hear the proposal at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 9, at City Hall.
Nampa
Providence Properties LLC, a development company associated with Don Hubble of Hubble Homes, wants to build 236 single-family homes and 18 four-plex apartment buildings.

According to the application the four-plex buildings would be located at the southeast corner of the property next to the Ustick and Prescott Lane intersection.
