WHY REVITALIZE DOWNTOWN?
The “Heart” of our City is McCall’s Downtown. Its the gathering place for the community and a sense of arrival for visitors. The first glimpse of Payette Lake when entering Downtown McCall leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has visited. The Downtown Project aims to increase the energy of the area and create a vibrant and attractive destination for both residents and visitors. This project will transform our Downtown into a symbol of pride for the community and establish McCall’s identity. Restoring McCall’s Downtown is an important economic catalyst for attracting new businesses, residents, and visitors to McCall.
The current dilapidated condition of Downtown McCall roads display the need to rebuild. The Streets L.O.T. has provided a financial solution to repair an important reflection of McCall’s overall character. City of McCall remains focused on maintaining and improving the physical and economic aspects of Downtown McCall for visitors, residents and the business community.

Over the next four years McCall’s Downtown will get a complete facelift. Over the course of shorter construction phases, crews will aim to keep impacts to a minimum and utilize our short summer construction window.
2nd Street
The center of downtown and therefore calls for a unique design. Including special pavement treatments and rolled curbs will create an area for public gathering events.
Lenora, Park & 1st Street*
These typical streets with low speeds, short blocks, and relatively low traffic volumes provide important pedestrian connections to the Downtown, parking and the Lakefront.
Veteran’s Alley
This important utility corridor will see overhead utility lines converted to underground as well as water, sewer and stormwater improvements. The alley will also be paved 100%.
*May take additional time to complete based on funding sources.
 | Sidewalk access will be open to all businesses and all businesses will be open according to their regular business hours. Signs will be posted to direct traffic. |
|---|---|
 | Treasure Valley Transit Red Line will be running offering free transport for those who need assistance getting around. Contact them at (208) 634-0003. |
 | On-street parking will be limited due to road shut downs. Please use public lots that allow free multiple vehicle parking. |
Underground infrastructure is being paid for by Streets Local Option Tax, McCall Water Department, McCall Franchise Utility Fund, Payette Lakes Recreational Water and Sewer District, Idaho Power, Frontier Communications and Cable One. |
