Tackling BSU traffic
BOISE - Congestion is part of game day at Boise State.
"I can adjust the traffic signals from computer and increase the green time," said Mike Boydstun, a traffic operations engineer for ACHD.
While the Broncos tackled the Aggies on the field, Mike Boydstun is tackling traffic headaches from from ACHD's new control center, in the Stueckle Sky Club.
"it does give us a very good eagle eye view. I can see up to Federal Way and Protest Intersection and Broadway," Boydstun said.
When he sees an accident, a slow down or just congestion Boydstun's eye in the sky perspective makes re-timing lights a snap.
While Boydstun says he can't please everyone, his goal is to give the majority of drivers a smooth ride to and from the game.
"It's more like an art because you have to have a feel for where the traffic is going and what needs to be adjusted," Boydstun said.
Another way the sky box is scoring big for Boise State before, during and after the game.
