Sealcoating has already started! Door knockers are starting to appear at the NW end of Surprise Valley Rd. They will start appearing at the SE end, next on Escarpment (Canyon Point), and working their way westward to the farmhouse as ACHD attempts to stay one step ahead of their work trucks. The sealcoat work will include the interior neighborhood streets but not Surprise Way.

ACHD started with the first 3 subdivisions off Amity. This includes our neighbors on Oregon Trail and the Lichen neighborhood. The rain last week put the crew a few days behind schedule but they worked well into Saturday to complete half of Lichen. The next phase will start on Escarpment and work westward, toward the farmhouse.

All cars will need to be removed from the neighborhood streets and ACHD will not allow us to drive in the new seal for about one day. Plan to park your vehicles elsewhere during this time. There will be cones and signage designating when the streets are closed and those signs will be removed when the streets are open again. ACHD claims that they will be knocking on doors to assist with vehicle (camper, trailers, etc.) removal if any are in their path, and also to notify of their presence.

Please keep your eye on the neighborhood ahead of you to see if things are on schedule, and plan accordingly. If you have further questions, please call ACHD at 208.340.9493. The dispatcher at this line has all the information on this project and is happy to elaborate. I will update with the plan for trash day as soon as I hear back from ACHD.

About Surprise Valley

Surprise Valley is a pedestrian-friendly community located in southeast Boise composed of 418 single-family homes and 70 condos. The community is a blend of individual smaller neighborhoods, surrounded by 52 acres of beautifully landscaped open common areas and parks that are linked by pedestrian and bike pathways, including a three-mile stretch of the Boise City Green Belt and adjoining Boise City park.

The neighborhood boasts spectacular views of the Boise Foothills and is bordered to the South by natural bluffs and to the North by the Barber Pool wilderness conservation area. The east entrance to Surprise Valley can be accessed from the Highway 21 just south of the Boise River or three miles north of Micron Technology. The west entrance is found at the intersection of Amity Road and S. Surprise Way.

Surprise Valley is a family-oriented community and is well known throughout Boise for its neighborhood spirit and its mature, beautiful landscaping. Several picnics and gatherings are put on throughout the year and are well attended by homeowners.

The surrounding area offers proximity to several convenient shopping areas and restaurants. Downtown Boise, Boise State University, the Boise airport and the Outdoor Idaho Shakespeare Theater are also just minutes from your doorstep. Ten minutes up the road is Lucky Peak reservoir for boating and swimming.
