⭐️ STAR = COMMUNITY💙🚔

We had a great time with Mayor Trevor A. Chadwick and the City of Star Mayor’s Youth Council (MYC), learning firsthand about the incredible work our Ada County Sheriff's Office and Star Police do every day to keep our community safe!

These dedicated men and women work tirelessly to protect our families, children, and community while making Star a safe place to live, learn, and grow.

We are so grateful for the opportunity to give our youth a behind-the-scenes look at law enforcement and help them better understand the dedication, responsibility, and service that go into keeping our community safe.

Thank you to all of our law enforcement officers for everything you do for STAR! 💙⭐️

A great evening with the Star Mayors Youth Council. We toured the Ada County Jail and how this amazing facility is run and how it keeps our communities safe Thank you for the tour Captain Vogt and team. Thank you to the Ada County Sheriffs office for providing this opportunity for the future leaders of our community. Great questions were asked and the Star MYC learned a-lot about the law and order function of our society.

Star = Community = Future Leaders

We were honored to join Owyhee High School 🌪️🔴⚫️ and the West Ada School District for a meaningful opportunity to connect, collaborate, and explore how our schools and communities can work together to create positive learning experiences and stronger school cultures!

A big thank you to West Ada for organizing the breakout sessions and giving community partners the opportunity to share feedback, exchange ideas, and better understand how we can support students at the elementary, middle, and high school levels.

We had some great conversations with Star Elementary, Independence Elementary, Star Middle School, and Owyhee High School about building stronger partnerships, creating new opportunities for students, and fostering a greater sense of community within our schools.

At the City of Star, we believe strong schools help build strong communities, and we are excited about the opportunities ahead!

Big things are coming, and we can't wait to continue growing these partnerships! ❤️🖤

• SH-44 traffic will shift to the north side of the highway between Cosmo Ave. and Moyle Ave. View map here.
• The center turn lane will be removed.
• Travel lanes will be narrow and separated by tubular markers.
• Driveway approaches will be restricted to right only turning movements.
• Left turns will be allowed at Seneca Springs Way and Plummer Road.
• Access to all local businesses will remain open.
• Most work is expected to take place during the daytime.
