The Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho (COMPASS) is the metropolitan planning organization
(MPO) for Ada and Canyon Counties. COMPASS has developed this review as a tool for local governments to
evaluate whether land developments are consistent with the goals of Communities in Motion 2040 2.0 (CIM 2040),
the regional long-range transportation plan for Ada and Canyon Counties. This checklist is not intended to be
prescriptive, but rather a guidance document based on CIM 2040 2.0 goals.

• Housing within 1 mile: 290 A good jobs/housing balance - a ratio between 1 and
Jobs within 1 mile: 80 1.5 - reduces traffic congestion. Higher numbers

Recommendations
The proposal is on the fringe of urban development in an area removed from employment centers and existing
public transportation. Services, such as schools, parks, and grocery stores, are likely accessed only by vehicle. The
closest transit services are located more than two miles away. ValleyConnect 2.0 proposes bus service from
downtown Kuna to northwest Boise, via Linder Road with 20-minute frequencies in the peak hours when
operational. The proposal includes a pathway along the Calkins Lateral to comply with the 2015 Meridian Pathways
Network Map. Amity Road is the second highest local system priority in the Communities in Motion 2040 2.0 plan.
This project will widen Amity Road from Southside Boulevard to Highway 69 (Meridian Road) from two to three
lanes east of McDermott Road, and including curb, gutter, sidewalks, and bike lanes. More information is available
