Baird, B. Frasier, L. Bowshier, M. Carson, and C. Hood Adoption of the Agenda Chairman Ballard called for a motion to adopt the agenda. Commissioner Lewis motioned to adopt as written; second by Commissioner McKinney - all-ayes – motion carried. Approval of Minutes 1. September 14th, 2020 Chairman Ballard asked for any corrections to the September 14, 2020 minutes. Mr. Hood noted that Mr. Cavener was present. With the noted correction a motion by Commissioner Lancaster was made to approve the September 14th, 2020 minutes as amended; second by Commissioner Hopkins - all ayes - motion carried. Old Business Items 2. Transportation Projects Update (Miranda Carson) Ms. Carson addressed the Commission by noting that the memo contained in the packet had several of the items rearranged in order of construction date. Ms. Carson also noted that she would not read the memo, but highlight a few of the notable items. Ms. Carson is happy to answer any questions or review any items not specifically discussed at the end of her review. The first item Ms. Carson noted was that ACHD had a new and approved 2021-2025 Five Year 3 Item 1. Work Plan. Mr. Hood handed out a hardcopy summary of the first 25 projects of that adopted plan. (A link to that plan was contained in the memo). The next item Ms. Carson highlighted was the Ten Mile Rd., McMillan to Chinden project. Ms. Carson noted that substantial completion of the project was made as of September 15th and this item would no longer be on the update. A few new projects were added and Ms. Carson highlighted them, including the 8th St at Meridian Middle School enhanced pedestrian crossing, this is different than the Cherry to Library crossing that has been on the previous updates. The next new project is on page 12 under Pathways and is the Nine Mile Creek, Linder to Meridian. Parks and Recreation Staff are currently working on obtaining necessary easements. This project will likely tie in with the Rail with Trail program. The final highlight Ms. Carson made was on the Lake Hazel and Eagle Road project and that the public comment period is currently open until October 16th. The Commission can read more on the ACHD site, the link can be found on page 10 of the packet. Ms. Carson concluded her review and stood for questions, which took place. Mr. Hood provided a little context with regards to the widening of US 20/26 Chinden the Linder Village project, marketed as Orchard Park, and how that relates to the Chinden West Corridor construction. The Chinden corridor has 3 projects occurring, which will widen the US 20/26 Chinden corridor, to four lanes from SH16 through to SH55. Delays on Chinden can be expected over the next 1-1.5 years as the work progresses. New Business Items 3. Meridian Police Department Update (Sgt. Brandon Frasier) Ms. Carson noted that Sgt. Frasier had to leave, but did not have any new updates to provide. 4. Shared Vehicles (Caleb Hood) Mr. Hood noted that he provided the Spin representative the Zoom information, but she was not online. Mr. Hood recommended to continue on with the meeting. 5. Ordinance and Development Subcommittee Update (Jared Smith) Commissioner Smith gave a brief overview of the discussion and participants involved in the meeting. The subcommittee met just prior to the Transportation Commission meeting and included Mr. Steed, Ms. Kane, Sgt. Frasier, Mr. Claiborne, from the State ATV Association, Ms. Carson, and himself. Mr. LeClaire was unavailable to attend. The subcommittee discussed and agreed upon a mutual understanding of the subcommittee’s purpose and focused the majority of their time on ATV/UTV issue. The committee discussed 4 Item 1. definitions and agency jurisdiction and distilled down a list of questions that will help to gain further clarity on what is legally possible within the guidelines of the statue. A tentative second meeting is scheduled for just prior to the next Transportation Commission meeting, as long as Mr. LeClaire is available. The hope is to provide future recommendations to the Transportation Commission for discussion, that make it easy for citizens to search, read, understand and follow the law and any ordinance the City may propose/adopt. Commissioner Smith stood for questions, none took place. 6. Staff Communications (C. Hood) Mr. Hood noted and thanked Ms. Carson for taking the lead on putting together the packet and leading staff discussion items thus far. For the foreseeable future Mr. Hood will provide the staff communications update since he is receiving the correspondence. The first update is noted on page 17 of the packet. Ms. Bowshier is requesting more time to do additional outreach and research on the alleyways topic and provide an update to the Commission in the future, possibly December. Mr. Hood did not review all items, but did point out on page 20 the Transportation Summit agenda and provided a little context about the meeting, more details to come. Mr. Hood also noted on page 21 and the update on the sound wall issue that was brought before the Commission in the August meeting. Mr. Hood provided some brief highlights on the VRT bus route and the ACHD Commission comments about the bike/Ped facilities on Fairview between Locust Grove and Eagle Road and drew the attention of the Commission to the diagram on page 23. Mr. Hood concluded and stood for questions, which took place. Prior to Adjournment Chairman Ballard reviewed the Future Meeting Topics and asked for any additional items.  Commissioner Steed recommended that the topic of eastbound Chinden/Ten Mile with protected permissive at the intersection be added.  Ms. Carson noted that the Ordinance Subcommittee would be meeting in November  Commissioner Hopkins recommended that Eagle/Taconic roundabout be addressed as a future item topic. In addition, Ms. Carson and Mr. Hood noted that the Eagle, Lake Hazel to Amity should also be discussed. (potentially Jan/Feb or later). Ms. Carson noted that the School Zone subcommittee was meeting in November and that maybe roundabouts near school zones could be a topic of discussion/homework. Future Meeting Topics 7.

Project includes a new 4 -lane I-84 overpass. Joint project between ACHD and ITD. This project is listed as future in the adopted IFYWP. ACHD Commission and City Council had a joint meeting on October 22nd at which this was one of the two projects discussed. One outcome of that meeting is that a joint letter will be sent to the Idaho Transportation Board requesting this project be added to the STIP in an effort to allocate resources and advance the project more quickly. Currently the letter will include the C ity and ACHD; other parties may be included on the request as it progresses. Eagle Road, Amity to Victory and roundabout at Amity: Notice to proceed is scheduled for November 19th. ACHD Commission and City Council had a joint meeting on October 22nd at w hich this was one of the two projects discussed. The ACHD Commission asked City Council to provide a clear request for direction related to the next steps of this project. City Council discussed this item at the October 27th meeting. The following request (summarized here) will be taken to the ACHD Commission on October 28: City Council would encourage ACHD to consider change order enhancements if they will improve safety of the multiuse pathways at local street crossings, and especially as it relates to stop bars locations and signage for vehicles, for landscape obstructions limiting visibility, and for conditions where pedestrians are obscured behind waiting vehicles. Widen Eagle to 5 lanes with curb, gutter, sidewalk and bike lanes. Includes a 2 lane roundabout with a slip lane at the northwest corner at Amity for southbound traffic turning west. Also includes enhanced crossings at the pedestrian pathway near the Ten Mile Feeder Canal, a pedestrian crossing at Rome Dr, and a roundabout at Zaldia Ln. Design will be done with in-house, ACHD resources. Construction is planned for 2021 in the IFYWP. NOTE: There is insufficient right-of- way on Amity west of Eagle to allow the striping of the bike lane on the north side of the road, so it will only be the two travel lanes westbound, the center turn lane, and one eastbound travel lane until ACHD can program a project there in the future and widen to the south. The west side of Eagle Road will be fully improved including a multi -use path. Here is the project website: http://achdidaho.org/Projects/proj_road_eagle -road-amity-road-to-victory-road.aspx Ten Mile/Amity Intersection: This project is on the October 90 day bid list.

Fairview, Locust Grove to Eagle & Locust Grove Signal: Widen intersection to 9 lanes on Fairview and 7 lanes on Locust Grove. Widen Fairview to 7 lanes with curb, gutter, sidewalk and Level 3 bike facility. On October 14th, the ACHD Commission reviewed a concept that included a 2-foot wide buffer area on top of the curb, a 5-foot wide, one-way bike lane, another 2-foot wide buffer strip and then a 5-foot wide sidewalk. The Commission seemed to like this treatment/cross-section more than a bike lane and encouraged the ACHD team to coordinate with Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC) to get their feedback. Design in 2020-2021, right-of-way acquisition in 2021-22, and construction in 2023 in adopted IFYWP with a cost of $4.26M.

E. 3rd Street Extension: When ACHD adopted the 2014-2018 Integrated Five Year Work Plan, E. 3rd Street, from Carlton to Fairview, was listed as a project in the Economic Development Program. This project was split into two phases by ACHD – north (phase 2) and south (phase 1) of Carlton. This is not programmed in the adopted IFYWP. FY20 Capital Maintenance, Phase 1: Locust Grove, Ustick to McMillan concrete work is complete. Pine Street, Linder Road to Meridian Road concrete work is complete; roadway work started October 12th and will continue through November 4th. ITD PROJECTS ChindenWest Corridor: This project will result in 4 travel lanes (two in each direction). Widening will take place to the south of the existing alignment and be constructed to accommodate future widening to 6 travel lanes (three in each direction) with high capacity intersections at roads with river crossings. Project website: www.ITDprojects.org/ChindenWest ID-16 to Linder: Substantial completion. Over the next few weeks, additional pedestrian safety measures will be installed on the north side of the Black Cat Road intersection. ITD has opened four lanes of Chinden Boulevard from Idaho Highway 16 to Linder Road to traffic. The new traffic signal at Black Cat Road is also operational. The widening of this section of Chinden Boulevard from two lanes to four began this spring. The new roadway includes four 12-foot travel lanes, two in each direction, and a detached 10 -foot pathway to the south for bicyclists and pedestrians. Locust Grove Road to Eagle Road: Locust Grove, north of Chinden, is closed through October for utility relocation. Paving operations are underway. Traffic shift began September 25th that eliminates one through lane, both east and westbound, at the Eagle intersection. The necessary lane shift may result in increased congest ion during peak drive times. All residential streets between Locust Grove and Eagle are right -in and right-out only, during construction and after work is complete. Linder Road to Locust Grove Road: Night work began October 26th to set concrete barrier and demolish the sidewalk on the south side of Chinden, between Fox Run and Meridian Road. Pedestrians will be detoured to the road shoulder, separated from traffic by a concrete barrier. Fox Run Way, south of Chinden, is closed through November, from Chinden 10 Item 2. to Boulder Bar Lane, as crews remove the overhead structure, widen the roadway and connect the road with the Linder Village development. Additionally, the sidewalk on the west side of Fox Run is closed. The east side sidewalk is open for pedestrian use. Star Road to ID-16: Construction is planned for 2024. Idaho Highway 16 extension, U.S. 20/26 to I -84: ITD has completed the re-evaluation of the 2011 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and preliminary design of Idaho 16. ITD is in the process of acquiring property now and anticipates this will continue through 2021. ITD is investigating funding sources and options. The Idaho Transportation Board has allocated nearly $90 million to acquire right-of-way for the future highway. The remaining cost to design and construct the corridor is estimated to be $350 million (in 2019 dollars). Project website: www.ITDprojects.org/Idaho16 SH-69, Kuna to Meridian Traffic Study: ITD has completed enough technical evaluation to now present a proposal to the public. ITD hosted an online public engagement from June 29 – July 20 to solicit feedback on the work to date. ITD will consider the feedback and make appropriate updates to the plan before presenting the plan for concurrence to the Cities of Meridian and Kuna and ACHD. Here is a link to the project website: https://itdprojects.org/projects/id69corridor/ PATHWAYS Rail with Trail: In the fall of 2012, the City applied for an $85,000 grant to study the Rail with Trail (RWT) pathway crossing of streets (7 crossings; Black Cat to Locust Grove). Currently, there are funds for pathway construction in the Regional Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) in 2022. Nine Mile Creek, Linder to Meridian: The path is proposed to run from Linder to Meridian along the Nine Mile Creek drain just north of the railroad; this is COMPASS project # KN 13918. Federal funding close to $400k has been allocated, but no federal funds have been used yet as the scope is not fully defined. City Parks Department is currently working with a consultant to negotiate easements for four (4) parcels from Linder to 8 th St. The City currently has obtained all but one required easement from 8th to 3rd. We are currently pursuing acquisition of easements from 8th Street west to Linder, and from 3rd Street to Meridian Road as a future phase of this project. Five Mile Creek Pathway: The City applied for a COMPASS grant to design and construct a portion of the Five Mile Creek pathway near the Wastewater Resource Recovery Center (WWRRC). The City informed COMPASS that we will pursue completion of this project with local funds instead of Federal. There has been purchase and development action on the properties north of Five Mile Creek, west of the WWRRC. Additionally, ACHD has purchased a parcel to the south of the WWRRC. It appears that the bulk of this pathway will be constructed by these new owners as a condition of development. The City plans to invest in pedestrian crossings of the Nine Mile and Five Mile Drains to skirt the WWRRC and achieve continuity with existing McNelis Pathway along the Five Mile Drain. 11 Item 2. North Meridian Neighborhood Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan: ACHD and several partners including the City have been working on developing a plan to help improve walking and bicycling routes in North Meridian neighborhoods. This plan is complementary to the City’s Pathways Plan with more of an emphasis on on-street bike facilities. The North Meridian Neighborhood Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan was adopted by the ACHD Commission on September 23rd. Here is a link to the project site: https://www.achdidaho.org/Projects/proj_program_north-meridian-neighborhood-bicycle-and- pedestrian-plan.aspx MDC / OTHER PROJECTS Harvest Lifestyle Service: A public transit service focusing on seniors and persons with disabilities has been operating since December 2016. This Lifestyle Service concept, which includes two service zones, was presented to the Council in July of 2016. The service is operated by Harvest Church. An enhancement to the City Budget for FY2019 was approved by the Council for a third Harvest van . The third van is operational. Staff will invite VRT Staff to an upcoming TC meeting to discuss this service and possible expansion. Transit: VRT has won a grant for electric buses. Staff from the City and VRT are coordinating infrastructure, capital and service needs for a route from the Ten Mile Interchange area through downtown to The Village. The launch is anticipated for in early 2021. The TC will be actively involved in developing outreach plan, stops/alignment, and other service considerations (i.e. – time of day operation, amenities/shelters, etc.) (This route is part of the ValleyConnect 2.0 plan.) VRT has a DRAFT FY 2021 Program of Projects (POP) out for review. It can be viewed here: https://www.valleyregionaltransit.org/blog/vrt-accepting-comments-on-draft-fy-2021-program- of-projects/ Eagle Road Bike/Ped Project Development: COMPASS has contracted with Keller Associates to further develop a bicycle and pedestrian plan for the corridor. The boundaries of the project are Overland and Chinden. Shared Vehicles: On Friday, December 13th a Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued for shared vehicle (e-scooters) services for 2020. The RFP was sent to six known, potential vendors/contractors. A pre-proposal conference was held on Friday, December 27th; no one attended in person. Proposals are due prior to 4:00 pm on Friday, January 10, 2020. One response was received, from Slidr LLC. On January 23 rd a 7-member scoring team met to discuss the proposal. The scoring team recommended that City Council not enter into a contract with any vendor at this time due to all of the construction and lack of destinations currently. The scoring team further recommended that the MDBA continue to monitor the climate and recommend back to the City when they believe another RFP should be issued. On January 28 th, these recommendations were presented to the Mayor and City Council. The Council largely concurred with the scoring team’s recommendation and further recommended that Staff be part of discussions around a regional management model for micro mobility. 12 Item 2.

President May, In our joint meeting from last week, you requested a statement from our Council with regard to the Eagle Rd and Amity Rd. construction project we recently discussed at our joint meeting... The City of Meridian understands that tax payer money and timing are important for this project. With that in mind, we do not recommend delaying this project. We request that your Commission consider change order enhancements for the redesign of the multiuse crossings located at Rome Drive and Dartmoor. We would appreciate if you include the City of Meridian in this redesign process. Going forward, we would like to communicate more frequently with regard to the decisions on whether RAB's or lighted intersections are used in future projects in Meridian. Thank you in advance for your consideration. My best, Treg A. Bernt | City Council President City of Meridian 33 E. Broadway Ave., Meridian, Idaho 83642 Cell: (208) 409-7400 | City Hall Office: (208) 489-0544 16 Item 7. Hi Caleb, I just called and left a message with you as well. My apologies - 9 months of telework and Zoom and I am still a victim of occasional curveballs. Please find attached the slide deck I had prepared for the Transportation Commision (with an updated date). I am hoping to have another opportunity to present during the meeting next month or via individual meetings. Thanks again and very sorry for any inconvenience. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HQE5c67uCiE46cuh0Yb8QmqmPCNglLrI/view -- Hi Caleb, I hope this email finds you well. I'm following up to see if you or Transportation Commissioners would be interested in learning more about Spin's approach to scooter management. The presentation we've prepared is a brief introduction and we're hoping to work closely with the City to determine program parameters that would facilitate the expansion of transportation access while mitigating concerns for local stakeholders. Thanks for your time and consideration. -- Phuong Bui She, Her, Hers Government Partnerships Manager, Spin phuong.bui@spin.pm | +1 909.815.3080 ChindenWest - US 20/26 Construction Updates ITD reminds the traveling public, when using alternate routes, to follow posted speed limits and drive attentively! Linder to Locust Grove: Night work to begin tonight to set concrete barrier and will continue through Wednesday. 17 Item 7. Beginning this week, crews will demolish the sidewalk on the south side of Chinden, between Fox Run and Meridian Road. Pedestrians will be detoured to the road shoulder, separated from traffic by a concrete barrier. Fox Run Way, south of Chinden, is closed through November, from Chinden to Boulder Bar Lane, as crews remove the overhead structure, widen the roadway and connect the road with the Linder Village development. Additionally, the sidewalk on the west side of Fox Run is closed. The east side sidewalk is open for pedestrian use. Locust Grove to Eagle Road: Locust Grove to Eagle Road is under a traffic configuration that eliminates one through lane, both east and westbound, at the Eagle intersection (see graphic above). “At the east end of the ChindenWest corridor, paving operations will be occurring between Locust Grove and Eagle Road,” said Michael Lucas, ITD’s project manager for this section. “The necessary lane shift may result in increased congestion during peak drive times. We encourage motorists to consider alternate routes when possible and appreciate everyone’s patience.” The public is reminded that all residential streets between Locust Grove and Eagle are right-in and right-out only, during construction and after work is complete. Starting this week, traffic lanes between Locust Grove and Bennington will be shifted. Please be aware of any changes in traffic patterns and drive safely! Locust Grove, north of Chinden, is closed through October for utility relocation. 18 Item 7. Please travel safely through construction zones! Hi Caleb, Brian, Al, and Miranda: We appreciate your time yesterday! What we heard:  Rail with Trail is a high priority for the City. o They realize it will not happen overnight. o They appreciate COMPASS organizing this topic regionally.  The City is still having conversations about multi-use pathways with ITD and ACHD.  Linder Road Overpass is a high priority for the City. The City Council and ACHD Commission held a joint meeting yesterday. They agreed to write a letter of support together to submit a request to ITD to consider adding the Linder Road Overpass as a development project in the TIP/STIP. The school district is also in support of the project.  The City has a workgroup currently updating the City’s priorities.  Transit service is expected to being in spring 2021. City is also working on concept-level active transportation projects in the City. 19 Item 7.  There is concern about the demographic data used in Traffic Impact Studies. Example – TIS for Eagle/Amity Roundabout – by the time the roundabout was completed, the population had already reached the horizon year growth. Traffic engineers swear by the data they provide, but the baseline and projects are not accurate. o Toni will make sure Carl and Mary Ann are aware of this concern, but unsure where the data originates for consultants. o Justin asked if COMPASS could provide an update to RTAC on where we are with the demographic allocation of the growth projects for CIM 2050. o Brian thought the Build Out scenario was fascinating, but unsure how it will all play out.  Toni shared that the I-84 Study is out to bid (RFP) and will open in early November. o Justin requested that ACHD be involved in the study at some point because local roads will/could be affected. o Brian mentioned the Eagle Road Interchange. The City is concerned about the backups that occur there. o Caleb asked if part of the scope is to look at slip lanes between interchanges – Jayme said everything is on the table in this study.  Brian asked if ITD/COMPASS is looking at funding mechanisms for improvements, such as value capture? Possibly land value capture for SH-16? o Jayme said ITD is collecting quite a lot of money through the proportionate share agreements with Star and Middleton. ITD found a workaround and is collecting proportionate share on behalf of the City of Kuna, as legal teams reach final language on an agreement. They will also meet again with Eagle soon. o Brian and Caleb said Meridian may be interested in an agreement if other agencies are entering them. They didn’t want Meridian to be at a disadvantage if they entered an agreement early, when other agencies around them did not have the same fees.  Transit – Caleb is not sure where Council stands on transit. As growth continues, transit is something that will have to be developed. o VRT needs a dedicated funding source… whatever form that takes. o Caleb suggested that COMPASS take a more active role. He suggested getting all the MPOs unified to support funding for transit. o He understands that COMPASS has been advocating for a dedicated funding source for transit for years and continues to include it as a high priority on the COMPASS Legislative Positions. COMPASS guidance:  Encourage City to apply for transportation needs in the COMPASS application cycle in order to get those needs on the Resource Development Plan so we are able to help them research funding opportunities.  Toni will follow up with other COMPASS staff on several items listed above. *** COMPASS Links for More Information:  Resource Development and Funding Includes: o COMPASS Application Process o COMPASS Application Guide o Resource Development Plan o Regional Transportation Improvement Program (includes policies and procedures) 20 Item 7. o Project Development Program (includes links to historical projects) o CIM Implementation Grants (includes links to historical projects) o Grant Assistance  Annual Report  Brochures  Communities in Motion 2040 2.0 The regional long-range transportation plan  Staff List  COMPASS Program Descriptions (attached) *** LHTAC Links for More Information:  Training (T2 Center)  Workshops o Department of Commerce grants (Department of Commerce is participating in the LHTAC workshops)  LHTAC funding programs (go to specific programs on the right-hand column for more information about each program) *** Our goal is to help you find funding for your transportation priorities.

Idaho Code § 49-426(3) (copied below) refers to controlled access highways. We don’t have a definition in City Code for controlled access highways. How does ACHD define these ro ads/highways? Is there a statewide definition? Thanks.

Caleb Sonya, We are in process of modifying the fence height in Bainbridge No. 7. (Attached is the detail that allows for the added height). At completion, the new section will match the existing, and look intentional. In addition, there are some gaps at the posts that will also be fixed to ensure that the fence does comply. We will let you know when it is complete. Jon Wardle BRIGHTON – Creating GREAT Places Thanks everyone for the reply. I apologize for not circling back to everyone.
