Bank repair proposed on Boise River to remove cave-like hollow beside Greenbelt

The plan would regrade about 30 feet of upper riverbank dug out into a cave-like space that police flagged as a public safety risk. It would use native-planted riprap and biodegradable fabric. The permit request is under administrative review.
