The Ada County Highway District in Boise (their downtown street grid is managed by a highway district?) has announced that it is installing "bicycle boxes" at intersections on several major downtown Boise streets.

They're also experimenting with "buffered" bike lanes, in which lanes are separated from vehicular traffic by about a lane's width of empty space.
