J-U-B worked collaboratively with the City of Kuna to design a welcoming downtown streetscape that includes new sidewalks, lighting, landscaping, pavement, irrigation, planters, artwork, ADA ramps, and bulb-outs.

Before this project, Kuna’s downtown core lacked identity and threatened the vitality and economic livelihood of its downtown small businesses. New commercial development occurring outside of the downtown core, combined with significant growth, highlighted the need to improve safety and upgrade Kuna’s downtown infrastructure. Led by J-U-B, the City, the stakeholders, and the residents worked collaboratively to produce a specific vision to improve the multi-modal access of the downtown and accentuate the attractiveness of their hometown. The project resulted in a downtown true to Kuna’s heritage, yet welcoming to new growth.
