Old Business Items 2. Transportation Projects Update (Miranda Carson) 3 Item 1. Ms. Carson addressed the Commission and noted that the Transportation Projects memo update begins on page 7 of the packet. Ms. Carson will not read the memo in its entirety, but will highlight a few of the notable items, which the memo contained. Ms. Carson is happy to answer any questions or review any items not specifically discussed at the end of her review. Ms. Carson noted several projects that had substantial completion, which will not appear on future updates, including the Meridian Rd., Cherry to Ustick, Linder Rd., Franklin to Pine and Ten Mile Rd., Ustick to McMillan. Ms. Carson also noted that Linder, Overland to Franklin has been added to the memo. It is not a new project, but one of the two projects that City Council discussed at a joint meeting with ACHD on October 22, further information can be found in Staff Communications. The last notable item Ms. Carson highlighted was the Eagle Rd., Amity to Victory and roundabout at Amity. Ms. Carson combined these two items into one update in the memo to follow the ACHD IFYWP project. The discussion from the joint ACHD meeting on October 22nd and the City Council meeting on October 27th are summarized in the memo. Further information can be found in the Staff Communications as it relates to these projects. Ms. Carson concluded her review and stood for questions or comments, which took place. Ms. Carson amended her conclusion and provided a brief update regarding the Linder, Overland to Franklin, inclusive of the I-84 Overpass, project. As part of the joint meeting on October 22nd a recommendation was made to send a joint letter to the Idaho Transportation Board requesting that this project be added to the STIP in an effort to allocate resources and advance the project more quickly. New Business Items 3. Meridian Police Department Update (Sgt. Brandon Frasier) Ms. Carson noted that Sgt. Frasier was not in attendance, but he did not have any new updates. This item will be kept on the agenda for future updates from MPD. 4. School Zone Subcommittee Update (Commissioner Lancaster) Commissioner Lancaster provided a brief update of the topics discussed at the subcommittee meeting and those that attended, just prior to today’s Transportation Commission meeting. The main topic of discussion was the proposed roundabout at Eagle and Taconic and the potential benefits to a roundabout in this area and in general. Additionally, the subcommittee discussed education and outreach, to City Staff and City Council, on alternative intersections with an emphasis on roundabouts. This is suggested as a future meeting topic for the Transportation Commission to undertake with a potential resolution recommendation to City Council or future presentation to City Council. The final topic discussed was, any school related items, i.e. the West Ada School district calendar has had several changes within the last year due to multiple challenges/circumstances. Commissioner Lancaster concluded his update. 4 Item 1. Commissioner Lancaster will provide a roundabout presentation at the December Transportation Commission meeting. Chairman Ballard and Ms. Carson will discuss, offline, projects from the Mayor’s transportation workgroup priorities to determine the agenda topic for the December Project Subcommittee discussion. 5. Ordinance and Development Subcommittee Update (T. LeClaire) Commissioner LeClaire gave a brief high-level update from the committee meeting that took place. The subcommittee discussed jurisdictional issues with other agencies, ACHD/State and controlled access. Unfortunately, MPD was not able to attend the meeting. The subcommittee dug into State Code in detail. The hope for the December meeting is that a framework for the subcommittee can be identified and a city draft ordinance, if any, could be penned on how to handle ATV/UTV vehicles to present to the Transportation Commission in January. 6. Subcommittee Procedures Chairman Ballard gave a high-level review of the subcommittee procedures and how they will operate. The general framework of the Subcommittees will be to discuss issues in the subcommittee, the subcommittee will issue a report to the Transportation Commission, which will be properly noticed on the Transportation Commission agenda and opened for discussion. Ms. Carson noted some house keeping items that the subcommittees will need to follow, i.e. noticing 5 days prior to a subcommittee meeting, minutes, agenda items for TC, etc. (see the memo included in the packet). Chairman Ballard opened the floor for discussion, which took place. 7. Staff Communications (M. Carson) Ms. Carson noted that Mr. Hood put together the Staff Communications, which she will briefly review. If the Commission has more in-depth questions that aren’t addressed in the memo, she will reach out to Mr. Hood to get an update. Ms. Carson directed the Commission to page 16 of the packet and the Eagle to Amity update. On page 17, there is a link to the slide presentation for SPIN, the shared vehicle company that was supposed to present to the Commission in October. Ms. Carson also noted at the bottom of page 17 the US 20/26 construction updates. On the bottom of page 19 there is a summary of the call COMPASS had with the City, on outlined priorities, and what COMPASS might be able to help the City facilitate. On page 22 there are several emails regarding controlled access, which Commissioner LeClaire highlighted in his update earlier in today’s meeting. 5 Item 1. Ms. Carson also noted the email response from Jon Wardle, on page 24, and the modification to the fence height in Bainbridge No. 7 to address the noise complaints heard from neighbors. Also, on page 24, Ms. Carson noted, the response from Mr. Martin on the passive yellow light on Chinden/Ten Mile and that it has been turned off as of the 24th. Ms. Carson concluded with the last Staff Communication which spans pages 26-28 and speaks to the Amendment of the STAR Agreement, and stood for questions. Prior to Adjournment Chairman Ballard reviewed the Future Meeting Topics and asked for any additional items.

MEMO TO TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION Agenda Topic on the Transportation Commission Agenda From: Miranda Carson, Coordination Planner Meeting Date: December 7, 2020 Presenter: Miranda Carson Estimated Time: 10 minutes Topic: Transportation Projects Update Below is a summary/update on some of the transportation and roadway projects City Staff has been involved with recently. This is not an exhaustive list, but rather highlights some of the more important activities that have recently transpired (or are about to occur) in the transportation realm. Staff will be at the meeting to discuss some of these topics in more detail. Please feel free to contact staff should you have any comments, concerns, or questions on any of these projects. New information is in bold. KEY ACHD PROJECTS: ACHD Integrated Five-Year Work Program: The 2021-20245 IFYWP was adopted by the ACHD commission on September 23rd, 2020 and can be found here: https://www.achdidaho.org/Departments/PlansProjects/IFYWP.aspx Cherry Lane and Meridian Library Pedestrian Crossing: Notice to proceed. $214,000 cost. Phases 1 and 3 are complete. Phases 2 has ramp work ongoing, and the rail is anticipated to be complete this week. This work will install a pedestrian hybrid beacon crossing (PHB) with Z-crossing on Cherry Lane. This PHB will be between the existing signalized intersecti ons at West 8th and Linder Road. This work also includes new sidewalks and crosswalks. Here is a link to the project website: http://achdidaho.org/Projects/proj_road_cherry-lane-meridian-library-ped-crossing.aspx Linder, Overland to Franklin: Widen Linder Rd to 5 lanes with curb, gutter, sidewalk and a Level 3 bike facility from Overland Rd to Franklin Rd as per the 2020 CIP and the Bike Master Plan. 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. After a joint ACHD Commission and City Council meeting on October 22nd, a joint letter of support will be sent to the Idaho Transportation Board requesting this project be added to the STIP. This project was also recently submitted to COMPASS for the FY21-15 Project Development Grant for $25,000. 7 Item 2. Eagle Road, Amity to Victory and roundabout at Amity: Seepage bed installation has begun, and irrigation and stormwater pipes are under construction. Due to concerns by City Council, the ACHD team met to explore options for improving safety of the multiuse crossings at local cross-streets. The two preferred strategies from the project team included: striping yield lines (also known as Sharks Teeth) at local streets and at Rome Drive, to explore modifying the existing landscaping to increase visibility. 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 was on the December 90 day bid list with Notice to Proceed in February 2021.

Ten Mile Road, Victory to Overland: Widen Ten Mile to 5-lanes with curb, gutter, sidewalk and a Level 3 bike facility. In the IFYWP, this project was designed in 2019, right -of-way in 2020- 2021, and construction in 2022-2023 at a cost of $3.9M. Here is the project website: http://achdidaho.org/Projects/proj_road_ten-mile-victory-to-overland.aspx Eagle Road, Lake Hazel to Amity: Widen Eagle to 5 lanes with curb, gutter, sidewalk and Level 3 bike facility. Includes a roundabout at Eagle Rd and Taconic Dr. Design will be done in 2021. Construction is planned for 2023 in the adopted IFYWP with a cost of $3.4 M. Fairview, Locust Grove to Eagle & Locust Grove Signal: Design work is ongoing. Design team is exploring permeable asphalt options for the bike lane. The design and materials of the sidewalk to bike lane buffer is also being considered carefully as is the material and pattern of the bike lane’s green coloring in conflict areas. The Hickory Way island may be removed to have an additional lane out to Fairview, and VRT has requested consideration of a future bus stop on Fairview on the far side of Hickory Way. There will likely be an open house around March 2021 before 95% design is complete, and construction may be delayed to 2024. 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.

Locust Grove Road, Fairview to Ustick: Widen Locust Grove to 5 lanes with curb, gutter, sidewalk and bike lanes. This is not programmed in the adopted IFYWP. 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. 9 Item 2. FY20 Capital Maintenance, Phase 1: Locust Grove, Ustick to McMillan pipe and roadway work will be done in Spring 2021. Pine Street, Linder Road to Meridian Road is complete. Steel plates over manhole collars will be removed after the Thanksgiving holiday. 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: The widening of this section of Chinden Boulevard is complete. 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: A new road configuration began 11/3; this configuration maintains one through lane, both east and westbound, at the Eagle intersection. Sound walls will be constructed on the south side of Chinden, between Stafford Drive and Eagle Road, adjacent to the Bristol Heights neighborhood. Paving operations are underway. The necessary lane shift may result in increased congestion 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: Utility and earth work is underway on the south side of Chinden, between Fox Run Way 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. 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 concur rence to the Cities of Meridian and Kuna and ACHD. Here is a link to the project website: https://itdprojects.org/projects/id69corridor/ 10 Item 2. 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. 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: Staff is reviewing an option to ad service from Meridian to the Veteran’s Administration in Boise. A public transit service focusing on seniors and persons with disabilities has been operating since December 2016. This Lifestyle S ervice 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. 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 11 Item 2. downtown to The Village. The launch will likely be delayed closer to October 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.) Ada County Transportation Action Plan: Ada County, working with consultant Kittelson & Associates, is kicking off the development of the Ada County Transportation Action Plan (TAP). The purpose of the TAP is for Ada County to identify a broad set of transportation policies, goals, and strategies for the unincorporated parts of Ada County. This project is in the earliest stage, and the City has been invited to participate in the process. 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. MEMO TO TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION Agenda Topic on the Transportation Commission Agenda From: Miranda Carson, Coordination Planner Meeting Date: December 7, 2020 Presenter: Kristy Inselman, ACHD Planner Miranda Carson Estimated Time: Overview: 15 minutes Discussion: 25 minutes Topic: ACHD Integrated Five-Year Work Plan Priorities On November 4th, the City received a letter from ACHD notifying us that work was starting on the FY2021-2025 Integrated Five-Year Work Plan (IFYWP). Annually, the City prepares transportation priority lists for the transportation agencies to consider in their programming and budget processes. The Meridian Transportation Commission (TC) is tasked with making recommendations to the City Council on priority transportation projects. ACHD is requesting all project requests be submitted no later than February 24th, 2021. Kristy Inselman, Senior Transportation Planner at ACHD, will be giving an overview of the prioritization process prior to opening a discussion of the projects. The goal is to begin the prioritization of roadway and intersection projects in December and finalize, during the January meeting, the two prioritization lists: roadway and intersection projects and Community Programs (CP) projects (e.g. – sidewalks). These lists will then be shared and endorsed by the Mayor and City Council and sent to ACHD before the February 24th deadline. ACHD has also updated an online interactive prioritization tool for use when preparing request lists. This includes the adopted 21-25 IFYWP map. https://achd.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=727c6dccbbcf492abcadb1f1f8 2e36af Attachments: ACHD Prioritization Request Form Projects Map 13 Item 5.

ACHD to Replace Star Rd Bridges South of McMillan From: Brian McClure Sent: Tuesday, November 3, 2020 2:51 PM To: 'Cody Homan' <Choman@achdidaho.org> Cc: Jason Korn <jkorn@meridiancity.org>; Caleb Hood <chood@meridiancity.org>; Miranda Carson <mcarson@meridiancity.org>; Mike Barton <mbarton@meridiancity.org> Subject: RE: Star Rd bridges south of McMillan - 221009 221007 Hi Cody, We are doing a specific area plan in this area right now, and the City would very much like to be involved in this project. The pathway element along the creek is a very critical component of that. Can we discuss that further? Regarding flood plain, this project is within our Ada County approved Area of City Impact, but it is outside of current City limits. I’m not sure if that is within our floodplain jurisdiction or not. I have cc’d Jason Korn. We do also have some significant infrastructure improvements planned along McMillan out to Can Ada, so cc’ing a few others too just to cover all of our bases.

From: Bill Nary Sent: Friday, November 6, 2020 10:41 AM To: Caleb Hood <chood@meridiancity.org>; Miranda Carson <mcarson@meridiancity.org>; Ted Baird <tbaird@meridiancity.org> Subject: Safety on Cherry Lane I don’t know the stage of completion of the new HAWK signal crossing on Cherry Lane by the Library, but all the barricades are down. I notice in driving that road daily that there is very little safety features for this island in the middle of the road. No reflective paint, candles, bollards, or barriers to the pedestrians that will be standing there. It’s black so at night it is not visible at all. It may be in the center turn lane, but cars do drift and occasionally people use the center lane early to do left hand turn and I can see collisions happening. Can you reach out to ACHD or let me know who I can reach out to there to address my concerns? Would this be a Transportation Commission discussion? Bill Nary | City Attorney & Risk Manager City of Meridian | City Attorney’s Office Draft 2020 Master Street Map Update From: Edinson Bautista <Ebautista@achdidaho.org> Sent: Wednesday, November 25, 2020 10:07 AM To: Brian McClure <bmcclure@meridiancity.org> Subject: RE: Draft 2020 MSM Update Hi Brian, The MSM was approved with some additional changes back on October.

Thank you and have a great Thanksgiving, Edinson Bautista ACHD Sr. Transportation Planner Planning and Project Management Department Ada County Highway District Controlled Access Highway ACHD Clarification From: Shawn Martin <smartin@achdidaho.org> Sent: Monday, November 2, 2020 2:46 PM To: Caleb Hood <chood@meridiancity.org> Subject: FW: Legal Task No. 9260 - Controlled Access Highway I did hear back from my Legal Department but I forgot to send it to you. You can see the relevant information highlighted below. From: Scott Spears <Sspears@achdidaho.org> Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2020 3:27 PM To: Shawn Martin <smartin@achdidaho.org> Subject: Legal Task No. 9260 - Controlled Access Highway 25 Item 6. Shawn, Legal Task No. 9260 - Controlled Access Highway was assigned to me for review and response. The Legal Task states the following Summary of Facts, Legal Issue and Other Relevant Information: Summary of Facts: Idaho Code 49-109 states that a controlled access highway is "any highway or roadway in respect to which owners or occupants of abutting lands and other persons have no legal right of access to or from the highway except at such points only or in such manner as may be determined by the public authority having jurisdiction over the highway." Legal Issue: How does ACHD interpret this section of Idaho Code 49-109? Does this mean that any roadway is considered a controlled access highway? Only arterials and collectors? Other Relevant Information: Meridian City is asking me to clarify this as they are looking at ATVs riding on public streets under Idaho Code 49-426(3) which states "The operation of licensed and numbered all-terrain vehicles, utility type vehicles and motorbikes and those vehicles exempt from licensing and numbering pursuant to subsection (2) of this section shall not be permitted on controlled access highways, except as provided in subsection (4) of this section." Legal Response: As the local authority having exclusive jurisdiction, and pursuant to Idaho Code Section 40-1310(8), ACHD could designate Arterials or Collectors as a “controlled access highway” on a case-by-case basis in those segments of the arterial or collector where there are center medians in place limiting left turn ingress or egress for abutting properties or where all direct access to the arterial or collector for abutting properties is eliminated or limited. Scott Spears Assistant General Counsel Ada County Highway District Beacon Light Development and Sidepath From: Don Kostelec <don.kostelec@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2020 2:02:05 PM To: Caleb Hood <Chood@meridiancity.org> Subject: Fwd: Beacon Light development and sidepath FYI on this topic that I think I mentioned. The good thing is ACHD has a desirable design for pathway crossings, but as was seen in this latest City of Eagle development, it may also be best for Meridian to adopt similar expectations for developers, ACHD and ITD. I wish Chinden crossings of that pathway were being designed this way. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Don Kostelec <don.kostelec@gmail.com> Date: Wed, Nov 18, 2020 at 1:58 PM Subject: Beacon Light development and sidepath To: Steve Noyes <snoyes@cityofeagle.org> Hey Steve, I was tuning into the ACHD Commission meeting today and it was noted that a development along Beacon Light was proposing a 10-foot wide sidepath instead of traditional bike lanes. I agree with that approach moving forward and wanted to make sure you were aware of the issues these multi-use pathways create at driveways and side streets. The issue becomes one of drivers being aware of looking on the path for people traveling by bike and drivers having enough space between the edge of the road and crosswalk to stop when turning (offset dimensions in the graphic below). 26 Item 6. The best remedies to this are having slightly offset and raised crossings that clearly denote the route is a priority. I believe this is something that should become standard in ACHD right of way and with cities that want these for safer use by all users. Simple crosswalks just don't do the job many think they should do given the diversity of pathway users. I'm not sure if you've seen ACHD's recent presentation on the Eagle Road, Amity to Victory project that shows this exact type of crossing treatment that's needed. The image of that is below and here is a link to the presentation: https://www.achdidaho.org/Documents/Projects/Eagle%20and%20Amity%20Decision%20Briefing%2011.28%20Final.pdf I'm not sure how ACHD and Eagle reconcile development approval but I think it would be wise for the City to adopt a crossing standard for developments so there's consistent expectation when either ACHD and ITD are designing a project. You can find more on this on page 4-15 of this FHWA guide that shows more detail on what ACHD is proposing in the image below: https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/bicycle_pedestrian/publications/small_towns/fhwahep17024_lg.pdf Let me know if you have any questions.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Josha Iverson| Executive Assistant City of Meridian | Mayor’s Office 28 Item 6. November 30, 2020 Bill Moad, Chairman Idaho Transportation Board 3311 W. State Street P.O Box 7129 Boise, ID 83707-1129 RE: Linder Road Overpass of Interstate 84 Dear Chair Moad: As the population and transportation needs in Idaho and particularly the Treasure Valley grow, we want to thank you for your continued partnership and collaboration in solving Ada County’s transportation needs. With Meridian serving as a central connection in the County, citizens continue to request more road improvements allowing more efficient north-south and east-west travel within the County for all users. Construction of an I-84 overpass at Linder Road will address significant transportation infrastructure needs in Ada County. The County has added over 19,000 new dwelling units in the last three years. Meridian, itself, has added over 8,000 new dwelling units averaging a year-over year growth rate of about 7.2 percent. The City has also added over 3.4 million square feet of commercial space in the last three years. As Meridian and the County continue to grow, the transportation network will require expansion. It’s no surprise that a recent survey conducted of Meridian residents showed that nearly 70% rated a Linder Road overpass as a high priority in the community. Linder Road overpass represents one of three overpasses identified as a priority for the unfunded state system in the long-range plan, Communities in Motion 2040 2.0. Of those three projects, Linder Rd is the only one with no existing overpass. Additionally, the Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho (COMPASS) has provided preliminary modeling information and Ada County Highway District (ACHD) has done a preliminary evaluation for widening of Linder Road from Franklin over the Interstate to Overland Road. As regional partners, we request that Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) Board consider this project for inclusion on the current Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) so that additional resources can be allocated for this project. An extension of Linder Road over I-84 would provide greatly improved connectivity between north and south Meridian and afford another route for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians within the area. Moreover, by providing this connection it will alleviate growing congestion at the Ten Mile and Meridian Road Interchanges as vehicles are able to use this alternate route. 29 Item 6. This will become critical in the coming years as Amazon and Federal Express are both building significant distributions centers on Franklin Road in Meridian between Linder and Ten Mile Roads, adjacent to the West Ada School District bus facility and Republic Services Meridian location with a transfer station. Amazon and Federal Express alone are projected to add over 1,700 vehicle trips per day onto the existing system. This overpass would also alleviate existing barriers to efficient movement of people, goods, and services; requiring excessive out of direction travel and signal delays for local trips, reducing emergency response reliability and services levels, and creating unnecessary trips on adjacent I- 84 interchanges. Regionally, this bridge would fill the last gap in the Linder Road corridor and would be the longest unbroken north-south arterial in Ada County. Unquestionably, a huge boost for commerce and travel interconnectivity. Of note, we have shared our thoughts on this issue with the leadership at both Ada County and ACHD and as you can see by our jointly signed letter, that they support our effort in starting this conversation. Thank you for your consideration of our request to include the Linder Road Overpass into the current STIP for planning, funding, and construction of this regionally important bridge is critical. We look forward to continuing this discussion and answer any questions you might have. Sincerely, Robert E.

No Deceleration Lane on Westbound 20/26 at Black Cat From: Jayme Coonce <Jayme.Coonce@itd.idaho.gov> Sent: Tuesday, November 3, 2020 9:57:09 AM To: Caleb Hood <chood@meridiancity.org> Subject: RE: [EXTERNAL] US 20/26 @ Black Cat Caleb- I am still trying to find a way to try to get a WB RTB at Black Cat off of Chinden. In my digging, I found the attached document that ACHD provided me. I see that when ACHD gives comments on development, they include a summary of ITD’s findings (see page 4). So now we have ITD’s letter that we send to the Developer, the City and ACHD that lists what we require. We also have ITD’s comments folded in to ACHD’s comments. Yet we still don’t seem to be getting what we require. How do we get there? As we talked last week, I am also pondering the idea of ITD being a signatory on the approval of the development agreement or other document that would give ITD the opportunity to determine if our needs have been met or not. Is this possible? What would we have to do to get there? Jayme From: Caleb Hood <chood@meridiancity.org> Sent: Friday, October 23, 2020 8:40 AM To: Jayme Coonce <Jayme.Coonce@itd.idaho.gov> Cc: Justin Price <Justin.Price@itd.idaho.gov> Subject: [EXTERNAL] US 20/26 @ Black Cat Jayme, Yesterday I spoke with a gentleman by the name of Mark. He lives north of Chinden, just off Black Cat. He is concerned that there is no deceleration lane on westbound 20/26 at Black Cat. He said he has already had a handful of near-miss rear-ends at this location. He would like to see something similar to the turn lane at Tree Farm installed here. It looks like with the Modern Craftsman project (file #H-2020-0022) approval, you didn’t require the developer to install the decel lane, just pay their proportionate share ($51,874) for it in the future (see attached letter). Is there a timeline for this decel lane to be installed or is your plan just to install when 20/26 is widened on the north, to be six lanes? If so, is there an opportunity with the current STAR project (or other means) for an interim decel lane in this location or similar improvements or treatments to make this turn as safe as possible?

Site History: ACHD has not previously reviewed this site for a development application. Vicinity Map 32 Item 6. 2 Modern Craftsman at Black Cat/ MPP19-0023/H-2020-0022 4. Adjacent Development: The following developments are pending or underway in the vicinity of the site: • Fairbourne Subdivision, rezone and preliminary plat to approve 176 buildings lots and 26 commons lots on 66 acres directly west of the site, approved by ACHD July 12, 2018. 5. Transit: Transit services are not available to serve this site. 6. New Center Lane Miles: The proposed development includes 0.0 centerline miles of new public road. 7. Impact Fees: There will be an impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of any building permits. The assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that time. The impact fee assessment will not be released until the civil plans are approved by ACHD. 8. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)/ Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP): • Black Cat Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 3-lanes from McMillan Road to US 20/26/Chinden Boulevard between 2026 and 2030. • The intersection of Black Cat Road and US 20/26/Chinden Boulevard is listed in the CIP to be widened to 5-lanes on the north leg, 5-lanes on the south, 6-lanes east, and 6-lanes on the west leg, and signalized between 2026 and 2030. B. Traffic Findings for Consideration 1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 2,341 additional vehicle trips per day (411 existing); 257 additional vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak hour (10 existing), based on the traffic impact study. 2. Traffic Impact Study CR Engineering, Inc. prepared a traffic impact study for the proposed Modern Craftsman at Black Cat development. The executive summary of the findings as presented by CR Engineering and can be found in Attachment 3. The executive summary is not the opinion of ACHD staff. ACHD has reviewed the submitted traffic impact study for consistency with ACHD policies and practices, and may have additional requirements beyond what is noted in the summary. ACHD Staff comments on the submitted traffic impact study can be found below under staff comments. TIS Extents Alternative Mitigation Measures Policy 33 Item 6. 3 Modern Craftsman at Black Cat/ MPP19-0023/H-2020-0022 a. Mitigation Proposals: Mitigation recommendations shall be provided within the report. At a minimum, for each roadway segment and intersection that does not meet the minimum acceptable level of service planning threshold or v/c ratio, the report must discuss feasible measures to avoid or reduce the impact to the system. To be considered adequate, measures should be specific and feasible. Mitigation may also include: • Revision to the Phasing Plan to coincide with the District’s planning Capital Projects. • Reducing the scope and/or scale of the project. Alternative Mitigation Measures: 7106.7.3 states that if traditional mitigation measures such as roadway widening and intersection improvements are infeasible as determined by ACHD, the TIS may recommend alternative mitigation measures. Alternative mitigation measures shall demonstrate that impacts from the project will be offset. • If the impacted roadway segments and/or intersections are programmed as funded in the Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP) or the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP); no alternative mitigation is required. • If the impacted roadway segments and/or intersections are not programmed in either the IFYWP or the CIP; the applicant may (i) analyze the shoulder hour and (ii) provide a safety analysis to determine alternative mitigation requirements. o If the impacted roadway segments and intersections meet the minimum acceptable level of service planning thresholds in the shoulder hour the applicant may suggest feasible alternative mitigation such as: sidewalks, bike facilities, connectivity, safety improvements, etc. within 1.5 miles of the proposed development. o If the shoulder hour planning thresholds are exceeded the applicant may request to enter into a Development Agreement and pay into the Priority Corridor Fund an amount determined by the ACHD to offset impacts from the project. • Alternative Mitigation may also include: o Revision to the Phasing Plan to coincide with the District’s future Capital Projects. o Reducing the scope and/or scale of the project. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Staff has reviewed the submitted traffic impact study (TIS) and generally agrees with the findings and recommendations. The TIS notes that the under 2019 existing traffic conditions that the Chinden Boulevard/Black Cat Road intersection does not operate at an acceptable level of service and the installation of a signal is recommended. The site traffic during the PM peak hour is 2.6% of the 2024 total traffic at this intersection, however, the PM peak hour site traffic for the southbound left-turn lane is 11.1% of the 2024 total traffic. Typically, the applicant would be required to install mitigation measures at the intersection because the site traffic for the southbound left-turn lane is greater than 10% of the total traffic in that turn lane consistent with District policy for Alternative Mitigation Measures. However, as part the Lost Rapids Subdivision, approved by ACHD on February 28, 2018, that applicant proposed to and was conditioned to widen Chinden Boulevard to 4 lanes between Linder Road and SH-16 and to signalize the Black Cat/Chinden Boulevard intersection. The TIS indicated that the intersection will meet ACHD level of service planning thresholds under the 2024 total build out traffic with these improvements. These improvements are funded through a Sales Tax Anticipation Revenue Reimbursement Agreement (STAR Agreement) with the Lost Rapids Subdivision applicant, ITD and ACHD that was executed in December 2018. The STAR Agreement has been executed and the Lost Rapids Subdivision applicant is proceeding with the 34 Item 6. 4 Modern Craftsman at Black Cat/ MPP19-0023/H-2020-0022 intersection improvements, therefore, no additional mitigation or improvements to the Black Cat Road/Chinden Boulevard intersection are recommended with this development application. Furthermore, Black Cat Road/ Chinden Boulevard is listed in the CIP to be to be widened and signalized between 2026 and 2030. Thus, consistent with District Policy for Alternative Mitigation Measures, no additional mitigation measures should be required for this intersection. The TIS identified that the Levi Lane/Chinden Boulevard intersection will exceed ACHD’s acceptable level of planning thresholds under the 2024 background traffic and recommended mitigation. However, the site traffic at this intersection is 2.0% of the total traffic for the PM peak hour. Therefore, no improvements are required for this intersection with this development consistent with District policy for Level of Service Planning Thresholds, that states a proposed development with site traffic less than 10% of the existing downstream roadway or intersection peak hour traffic shall not be required to provide mitigation for a roadway or intersection that currently exceeds minimum acceptable level of service planning threshold or V/C ratio. The TIS indicated that turn lanes are not warranted for the 2 proposed private drives onto Black Cat Road, and the proposed private drive onto Tree Crest Drive. The TIS also indicated that all roadway segments are expected to meet ACHD’s level or service planning thresholds with the existing lane configuration and the 2024 total build-out traffic. ITD is requiring the following prior to occupancy: • Remove the existing approach onto Chinden Boulevard 285-feet east of Black Cat Road. • A westbound right turn lane at US 20/26/Chinden Boulevard and Black Cat Road is warranted at full build out. ITD estimated the proposed intersection improvement as $237,957. The developer should pay a proportionate share of $51,874 (21.8%) to the future intersection treatment based off of total westbound right turn trips at full build out. • The developer should pay a proportionate share of the corridor improvements for US 20/26 between Levi Lane and Tree Farm Way. ITD estimated the remaining corridor improvements as $6,024,222. The developer should pay a proportionate share, $78,315 (1.3%) to the corridor improvements. To ensure ITD’s requirements are met , staff recommends the City of Meridian include all of ITD’s requirements as a part of their conditions of approval. If ITD requirements are not met, the impact to ACHD’s system will increase. The requirements should be completed prior to signature of the final plat. If these cannot be met, the applicant should be required to submit a revised development application and updated TIS for review and action by ACHD. 3. Condition of Area Roadways Traffic Count is based on Vehicles per hour (VPH) Roadway Frontage Functional Classification PM Peak Hour Traffic Count PM Peak Hour Level of Service Existing Plus Project **US 20/26 – Chinden Blvd. 1,266-feet Principal Arterial 1,057 N/A N/A Black Cat Road 905-feet Collector 389 Better than “D” Better than “D” Tree Crest Drive 1,255-feet Collector 25 Better than “D” Better than “D” Tree Farm Way 0-feet Collector 179 Better than “D” Better than “D” 35 Item 6. 5 Modern Craftsman at Black Cat/ MPP19-0023/H-2020-0022 * Acceptable level of service for a two-lane collector is “D” (425 VPH). * Acceptable level of service for a three-lane collector is “D” (530 VPH). ** ACHD does not set level of service thresholds for State Highways. 4. Average Daily Traffic Count (VDT) Average daily traffic counts are based on ACHD’s most current traffic counts. • The average daily traffic count for Black Cat Road north of US 20/26 was 791 on 7/9/2019. • The average daily traffic count for Tree Crest Drive east of Black Cat Road was 258 on 7/9/2019. • The average daily traffic count for Tree Farm Road north of US 20/26 was 3,595 on 7/9/2019. C. Findings for Consideration 1. US 20/26 /Chinden Boulevard US 20/26/Chinden Boulevard is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD). The applicant, the City of Meridian, and ITD should work together to determine if additional right- of-way or improvements are necessary on US 20/26/Chinden Boulevard. Staff Comments/Recommendations: ITD provided specific comments and recommendations on the TIS and has established the following requirements: • Remove the existing approach 285-feet east of Black Cat Road. • A westbound right turn lane at Chinden Boulevard and Black Cat Road is warranted at full build out. ITD estimated the proposed intersection improvement as $237,957. The developer should pay a proportionate share of $51,874 (21.8%) to the future intersection treatment based off of total westbound right turn trips at full build out. • The developer should pay a proportionate share of the corridor improvements for US 20/26 between Levi Lane and Tree Farm Way. ITD estimated the remaining corridor improvements as $6,024,222. The developer should pay a proportionate share, $78,315 (1.3%) to the corridor improvements. To ensure ITD’s requirements are met, staff recommends the City of Meridian include all of ITD’s requirements as a part of their conditions of approval. If ITD’s requirements are not met, the impact to ACHD’s system will increase. The requirements should be completed prior to signature of the final plat. If these requirements cannot be met, the applicant should be required to submit a revised development application and updated TIS for review and action by ACHD. 2. Chinden Boulevard/Black Cat Road Intersection As noted above, the Chinden Boulevard/Black Cat Road intersection does not currently operate at an acceptable level of service. The applicant of the Lost Rapids Subdivision has executed the STAR Agreement and the proposed improvements to Chinden Boulevard and the Chinden Boulevard/Black Cat intersection will be constructed prior to the development’s construction. The intersection will meet ACHD’s level of service planning thresholds under 2024 total traffic build out conditions with these improvements. Since the STAR Agreement has been executed and the Lost Rapids Subdivision applicant is proceeding with the intersection improvements, no additional mitigation or improvements to the Black Cat Road/Chinden Boulevard intersection are recommended with this development application. 36 Item 6. 6 Modern Craftsman at Black Cat/ MPP19-0023/H-2020-0022 Furthermore, Black Cat Road/ Chinden Boulevard is listed in the CIP to be to be widened and signalized between 2026 and 2030. Thus, consistent with District Policy for Alternative Mitigation Measures, no additional mitigation measures should be required for this intersection. 3. Black Cat Road a. Existing Conditions: Black Cat Road is improved with 3-travel lanes at the intersection with Chinden Boulevard and 2-travel lanes with no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site, except for the 95-foot long segment of Black Cat Road just south of Tree Crest Drive where there is vertical curb, gutter and detached 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk. There is 65 to 85-feet of right- of-way for Black Cat Road (30 to 40-feet from centerline). b. Policy: Collector Street Policy: District policy 7206.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for improving all collector frontages adjacent to the site or internal to the development as required below, regardless of whether access is taken to all of the adjacent streets. Master Street Map and Typologies Policy: District policy 7206.5 states that if the collector street is designated with a typology on the Master Street Map, that typology shall be considered for the required street improvements. If there is no typology listed in the Master Street Map, then standard street sections shall serve as the default. Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard right-of-way width for collector streets shall typically be 50 to 70-feet, depending on the location and width of the sidewalk and the location and use of the roadway. The right-of-way width may be reduced, with District approval, if the sidewalk is located within an easement; in which case the District will require a minimum right-of-way width that extends 2-feet behind the back-of- curb on each side. The standard street section shall be 46-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). This width typically accommodates a single travel lane in each direction, a continuous center left-turn lane, and bike lanes. Residential Collector Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard street section for a collector in a residential area shall be 36-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). The District will consider a 33-foot or 29-foot street section with written fire department approval and taking into consideration the needs of the adjacent land use, the projected volumes, the need for bicycle lanes, and on-street parking. Sidewalk Policy: District policy 7206.5.6 requires a concrete sidewalk at least 5-feet wide to be constructed on both sides of all collector streets. A parkway strip at least 6-feet wide between the back-of-curb and street edge of the sidewalk is required to provide increased safety and protection of pedestrians. Consult the District’s planter width policy if trees are to be placed within the parkway strip. Sidewalks constructed next to the back-of-curb shall be a minimum of 7-feet wide. Detached sidewalks are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent roadway. Meandering sidewalks are discouraged. A permanent right-of-way easement shall be provided if public sidewalks are placed outside of the dedicated right-of-way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right- of-way line and 2-feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk. Sidewalks shall either be located wholly within the public right-of-way or wholly within an easement. Minor Improvements Policy: District Policy 7203.3 states that minor improvements to existing streets adjacent to a proposed development may be required. These improvements are to correct deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. Included are sidewalk construction or replacement; curb and gutter construction or replacement; replacement of unused driveways 37 Item 6. 7 Modern Craftsman at Black Cat/ MPP19-0023/H-2020-0022 with curb, gutter and sidewalk; installation or reconstruction of pedestrian ramps; pavement repairs; signs; traffic control devices; and other similar items. ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map (MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, collector street requirements, and specific roadway features required through development. This segment of Black Cat Road is designated in the MSM as a Residential Collector with 2-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 36-foot street section within 50 to 70-feet of right-of-way. c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to dedicate additional right-of-way to total 37- feet from the centerline of Black Cat Road abutting the site. The applicant has proposed to improve Black Cat Road abutting the site north of proposed Waverton Drive as ½ of a 36-foot wide residential collector street section with pavement widening, vertical curb, gutter, an 8-foot wide planter strip and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk to match the existing improvements to the north with right-of-way extending to 1-foot behind the back of sidewalk. The applicant has proposed to improve Black Cat Road abutting the site south of proposed Waverton Drive with pavement widening to 18-feet from centerline and a 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk constructed on the east side of the existing 11-foot wide swale with right-of- way extending to 1-foot behind the back edge of sidewalk. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Black Cat Road – Chinden Boulevard to Waverton Drive: The Black Cat Road/US 20/26 intersection is listed in the CIP for improvements between 2026 and 2030 with the north leg abutting the site widened to 5-lanes within 96-feet of right-of-way (48-feet from centerline). The applicant has proposed to dedicate additional right-of-way to total 37-feet from the centerline of the roadway abutting the site for Black Cat Road. To accommodate the future intersection widening, the applicant should be required to dedicate additional right-of-way to total 48-feet from the centerline of Black Cat Road from Chinden Boulevard north 250-feet. The applicant may taper the right-of-way to 37-feet from the centerline of the roadway for the remainder of Black Cat Road, as proposed, as this meets District policy for collector right-of- way requirements. Consistent with District policy, the applicant will receive compensation for the right-of-way dedication 250-feet north of Chinden Boulevard as the intersection project is listed in the CIP. The applicant should be required to improve Black Cat Road at Waverton Drive with pavement widening to total 23-feet from the centerline of Black Cat Road, consistent with the ACHD action for Fairbourne Subdivision to construct Black Cat Road as ½ of 46-foot collector street section at Waverton Drive to accommodate a center turn lane. Staff does not recommend the construction of curb and gutter on this section of Black Cat Road, as this area is within the influence area of the Chinden Boulevard/Black Cat Road intersection and will be completely built out as part of the intersection widening and signalization project. The applicant should be required to construct a 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk located a minimum of 41-feet from the centerline of Black Cat Road for the first 250-feet north of Chinden Boulevard. The sidewalk should then taper to be located a minimum of 30-feet from the centerline of Black Cat Road at Waverton Drive. If street trees are desired, an 8-foot wide planter strip is required. The applicant may provide a permanent right-of-way easement for detached sidewalks located outside of the dedicated right-of-way that extends from the right-of-way line to 2-feet behind the back of sidewalk.

This is a new project programmed for design to occur in FY21. I intend to have the kick off meeting in December. Project consists of widening Eagle Rd from Lake Hazel to Amity with improvements at the intersection of Taconic and Eagle. Project scope statement initially has a multi roundabout assumed at this intersection. You will notice the scope has traffic analysis at this intersection to look at roundabout/signal. Please review and let me know if you have any comments. I went through it with Precision as he was putting it together so I am confident there should be minimal comments. I know it is a quick turnaround, but if you can get me comments back by end of day Monday November 30th it would be ideal. Reason being is I intend to have the agreement signed by Commission at the December 9th meeting which means having it ready by Thanksgiving. If we miss this date then we have to wait until January 6th and lose a month on schedule. This project went through a formal RFQ which was just finished up last week. Precision Engineering was the highest ranked consultant. Thanks everyone! If you need more time or have any questions please give me a call or shoot me an email or teams chat.

The proposed project improvements consist of reconstruction of Eagle Road from Lake Hazel Road to Amity Road (approximately 4500 ft in length). The anticipated improvements will consist of the following: • The project will widen Eagle Road from two/three lanes to five lanes with curb and gutter and multi-use pathway and / or elevated bikeway, (Level 3 bike facilities to be determined as the design progresses). The existing pedestrian hybrid beacon at Eagle and Taconic Dr will be removed and enhanced pedestrian crossings will be incorporated into the intersection design (roundabout or signalized). • Installation of a multilane roundabout at the intersection of Eagle Road and Taconic Drive • Install intersection lighting for the full extents of the project limits, continuous light will not be required. • Install fiber optic interconnect for the full extents of the project limits • Infiltration and/or retention/detention facilities are anticipated to be designed to treat and dispose of storm flows generated by the project improvements. • Existing irrigation will be perpetuated with pipe crossings replaced to meet current standards. • Relocate existing school zone flashers at Eagle Rd and Taconic Dr as needed to accommodate the widening of Eagle Road. • It is assumed there are not mid-block pedestrian crossings to be installed within the project limits and would be completed as a supplemental to this scope of work. • A pavement life-cycle cost analysis will not be conducted. It is assumed the geotechnical field work will consist of one to three borings in the existing roadway (depending on the geotechnical data available from previous ACHD projects), two perc test and the installation of two piezometers. It is assumed this project will also utilize the existing geotechnical/materials reports completed for the adjoining design projects to the north and south on Eagle Road. Reports to be provided by ACHD. • An intersection traffic analysis will be completed as part of 30% design for the intersection of Eagle Road and Taconic Dr (roundabout or signalized); but prior to developing the 30% roadway and intersection design and displays, to ensure the 30% design represents the approved intersection control. This scope of work assumed a multilane roundabout will be designed if a traffic signal is selected as the performed alternative it will be completed as a supplemental to this scope of work. 58 Item 6. Eagle Rd, Lake Hazel Rd / Amity Rd Scope of Work | Schedule | Budget Ada County Highway District Precision Engineering, LLC Eagle Rd, Lake Hazel Rd / Amity Rd November 19, 2020 ACHD Project No. 521043 | GIS No. RD216-04 Page 2 of 26 • A storm water alternative analysis will be prepared as part of 30% design but prior to developing the 30% roadway and intersection design and displays, to ensure the 30% design represents the project team approved storm water alternative. • The 30% design will confirm the currently constructed structure for Ten Mile Creek has adequate width to construct the proposed roadway section. If it is determined the structure will need to be modified, that task will be completed as a supplemental to this scope of work by a Structural Engineer Subconsultant. • ADA facilities will remain open during construction. Both traffic and pedestrian phasing plans will be required in the plan set. • The current posted speed limit on Eagle Road is 45 mph the proposed corridor speed limit will be lowered to 40 MPH with the construction of this project. • Scope of Work includes 20 utility potholes. • It is assumed a 404 permit will be required for this project. This scope of work assumes a total of two (2) ACHD reviews and revisions, additional review submittals and revisions will be completed as a supplemental to this scope of work and will prepared in conjunction with the intersection project 404 permitting. • Public involvement will consist of 2 PIM's; after 30% and after 75%. • Consultant will create crash history displays and compile comments into a matrix from the PIM. The Consultant to include in the Scope of Work one-on-one meetings with individual property owners. The Consultant will also create displays with aerials showing the proposed improvements. • In the interest of time, the 30% design submittal will be based on ACHD provided aerials and GIS linework. The outcome of the meeting will be to ensure the direction of the design meets the proposed purpose and need of the project before proceeding to 75% design submittal. • It is understood by all parties that if winter weather (snow) delays the field work required to complete the topographic survey, the 99% design submittal date may need to be extended and will be determined at a future date based on the extent of delay. • This project will coordinate with the current Eagle Rd and Lake Hazel intersection in house design project (319050). • This project will also connect to the Eagle Rd and Amity Rd Roundabout expansion project awarded to Central Paving Company (320036); and is slated to begin construction November 2020. It is anticipated that additional topo and minor modification maybe necessary to adjust the design to match the as constructed roadway horizontal and vertical elements once the roundabout is constructed. The level of effort is unknow at this time and will be determined as the construction progresses. Additional work to modify the Eagle Road design due to as constructed will be completed as a supplemental to this scope of work based on the degree of changes. • It is assumed ACHD will make available all design files associated with projects 319050 and 320036 to Precision for use in matching the north and south project limits. • This scope of work assumes the central island landscape and pressure irrigation design will be completed by others (City of Meridian, Neighborhood Association, etc). 59 Item 6.

Consultant will prepare one (1) alternative for Eagle Rd center about the section line and the preferred intersection alternative for Eagle Rd and Taconic D. Roll plots will identify concept level right-of-way impacts, utility impacts, and other design constraints associated with each alternative. Consultant will attend a review meeting with ACHD to discuss the alignment alternatives and make minor modifications to incorporate review comments. Products and Deliverables • Plan view exhibits of Conceptual Intersection and Roadway Alternative ACHD Responsibilities • Transmitting plan sets to project team. • Perform internal review of all deliverables Assumptions • Preparing additional alignment and typical section alternatives beyond this scope of work will be completed as additional services or under a supplemental agreement. 4.2 Geotechnical Investigation The geotechnical engineering services for this project will be performed by Terracon (Subconsultant) and will include explorations for the proposed roadway and stormwater management improvements. We understand the project proposes to widen Eagle Road from 2 lanes to 5 lanes. We understand that the flexible pavement section will be developed for this project. Field Exploration In general, the field exploration will consist of soil borings for pavement design, piezometer installation and infiltration rate tests. The subsurface exploration will consist of the following items: • Two boring will be drilled to a depth of approximately 17½ feet below the existing ground surface for installation of piezometers to allow for measurement of groundwater 68 Item 6. Eagle Rd, Lake Hazel Rd / Amity Rd Scope of Work | Schedule | Budget Ada County Highway District Precision Engineering, LLC Eagle Rd, Lake Hazel Rd / Amity Rd November 19, 2020 ACHD Project No. 521043 | GIS No. RD216-04 Page 12 of 26 levels. The piezometers will be protected with a locking cap and a flush-mounted cover. For this project, groundwater measurements from the piezometers will occur twice monthly during the irrigation season, from about mid-April until the end of June 2021. We assume CSC staff will obtain these groundwater measurements and provide the results to the project team. • Due to existing improvements along Eagle Road and the presence of utilities, we assume space for infiltration testing within ACHD right of way and out of traffic lanes will be limited. As a result, we propose to perform falling head infiltration rate tests in soil borings. The project team will assist in determining the preliminary locations and the depths of the percolation tests. Once possible locations of stormwater management facilities have been identified, two borings will be drilled to a maximum depth of about 10 feet below the existing ground surface for these infiltration rate tests. These tests will be performed within a 5-inch diameter solid pipe placed in each borehole. A bentonite seal will be placed within the annular space around the outside of each pipe. This borehole infiltration test method is not included among the approved methods listed in Appendix B of Section 8200 of the ACHD Policy Manual. However, this test method does allow the test to be performed within a limited space and with less ground disturbance. After conceptual development of the stormwater management improvements is complete and the actual facility types, locations, and depths are known, if a test method described in Appendix B of Section 8200 of the ACHD Policy Manual is required, the Subconsultant will prepare a supplemental scope of work and cost estimate for performing those tests. • As part of a previous ACHD projects, borings within Eagle Road have been completed. Data from these previous borings will be used for development of the pavement sections for the current project. A total of 1 to 3 borings will be drilled to provide additional subsurface information for pavement design for the project. The actual number of borings will depend on the existing geotechnical data provided by ACHD. The boring(s) will be drilled to a depth of about 5 feet below the existing ground surface. A ‘no-fee’ permit will be obtained from ACHD prior to working in the right-of-way. A traffic control subcontractor will provide traffic control during drilling, piezometer installation, and infiltration rate testing, as necessary. All borings will be backfilled in accordance with Idaho Department of Water Resources requirements. Appropriate utility clearance will be requested from DigLine prior to the exploration. Our services do not include determining the locations of underground utilities beyond contacting the “one-call” locate service, DigLine. If there are other utilities not located by DigLine, a utility locate specialty contractor will need to be obtained to locate these utilities. A supplemental scope of work and cost estimate will be prepared for this service. We are not responsible for damage to unmarked utilities. It is assumed irrigation and stormwater pipes and structures will not be marked by DigLine locators. We understand ACHD has GIS information regarding the approximate locations of these features. We request ACHD provide that information to the project team prior to drilling. 69 Item 6. Eagle Rd, Lake Hazel Rd / Amity Rd Scope of Work | Schedule | Budget Ada County Highway District Precision Engineering, LLC Eagle Rd, Lake Hazel Rd / Amity Rd November 19, 2020 ACHD Project No. 521043 | GIS No. RD216-04 Page 13 of 26 Borings will be logged by a field engineer/geologist and samples will be obtained as the drilling progresses. Preliminary boring locations will be recorded using a recreational grade handheld GPS. We will also mark the boring locations so that the project surveyor can record the locations and elevations of the borings after drilling. We assume the field services described above will be completed during two mobilizations, with the infiltration test borings being drilled sometime after completion of the piezometers. Accessing the boring locations outside the existing paved area will cause rutting and other disturbance to the existing ground surface and vegetation, particularly borings within existing landscaped areas. Restoration of this disturbance, beyond backfilling the bore holes, is not included in our scope of services. If private landscaped sod or sprinklers are damaged during drilling the damaged items will be repaired. Laboratory Testing Laboratory testing will be conducted on representative soil samples obtained from the field exploration, and may include: moisture content, gradation, Atterberg limits, R-value, and moisture density relationship. The actual tests performed will depend on the soil conditions encountered. Geotechnical Engineering Analysis and Report Field and lab data from the field explorations will be reduced and analyzed for reporting purposes. Terracon will design a flexible pavement section using ACHD design procedures for the proposed reconstruction and the roundabout at Taconic Drive. A flexible pavement section alternative that includes geogrid will also be prepared. The boring logs, laboratory test results, infiltration test results, and recommended pavement sections will be included in the geotechnical engineering report. A draft report will be submitted by Terracon for review by Precision Engineering and ACHD. After all reviews of the draft document are complete, we will discuss comments generated from the reviews with the project team. We will incorporate these comments, as appropriate, and submit a final version of the report. We will prepare a comment response sheet to document actions taken on comments received. This scope of work does not include additional revisions to the report or review iterations. Design Review Subconsultant will review the portions of the 75% Design Submittal that relate to the performed geotechnical services for the Eagle Road widening. Comments of this review will be presented in a letter. Meetings Our budget does not include attending project meetings. 70 Item 6.

Once ACHD determines the intersection improvements for the intersection of Eagle Road and Taconic Drive. A multi-lane roundabout is currently planned for this intersection. This traffic analysis will analyze a roundabout and a conventional signalized intersection. The lane configuration of the signalized intersection must be approved by ACHD before the final evaluation is done for the draft Traffic Report. Both the roundabout and conventional signalized intersection will be analyzed using forecasted 2043 design year traffic volumes using the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) Methodology. If a multi-lane or dual-lane roundabout is unable to accommodate the 20-year forecasted traffic volumes using the HCM Methodology, an evaluation will be done using Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Roundabout Criteria. Consultant will analyze intersection configurations for the design year of 2043. This analysis to be based on forecasts from COMPASS’s official travel demand model, CIM 2.0, and the ACHD Master Street Map. Peak hour turning movements will be developed using COMPASS AM and PM peak hour forecasts, existing traffic counts, and expected future projected traffic numbers. Because the morning and evening commute are highly directional in many areas in Ada County, an evaluation of both AM and PM peak hours is recommended for a thorough analysis. 72 Item 6.

I hope it proves helpful in some way or another. This year, we will be working with 4 communities again and can opt to work in the same city if desired. I am thinking about how best to do this. Meridian is on my mind as you get things done. The fact that we had somewhat limited turn out and Star, Kuna, etc. are next door, I am wondering if maybe more folks would attend now that the course is better understood. Also curious what the response would be if we cover more on the bicycling and safe streets design realm? We won’t be doing anything until the spring at least given Covid…but I thought I would put it out there. Thanks. Regards, Chris Danley Principal 208.570.3561 99 Item 6. Looking Glass Academy Meridian, Idaho Summary— October 2020 1 Introduction The Idaho State Department of Health & Welfare continues to support a more walkable and bikeable environ- ment. The Department, with funding made possible through the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and through Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funds, supported a two-day walk audit training course called, The Looking Glass Academy. The academy was held in Meridian in June 2020 at City Hall. The city was selected by the walkability team including the lead instructors and state staff due to particularly chal- lenging locations facing the city including students accessing SNAP provided meals. The training was seen as a beneficial experience to improve overall walkability. The purpose of the course was to immerse participants in understanding and know the characteristics and keys of walkability through the 4-C’s approach:  Comfort: What human beings need to be comfortable while walking—their walk speeds, their psychologi- cal needs, and how we experience walking through our senses.  Context: Where we are drawn when walking, what we try to avoid—how land use, land forms, traffic vol- umes and speeds, road width and lighting impact the desirability of a place.  Connectivity: How linkages in sidewalks and pathways along streets, through parks, and within varying types of land development pose opportunities and barriers for people of all ages and abilities.  Crossings: How access to crosswalks, crosswalk types, pedestrian signals, and signal timing influence how safe a crossing can be in terms of access, driver compliance, and suitability for walking. By examining and understanding walkability through the lens of these 4-C’s, participants are able to make a more cohesive case to planners, engineers, and public officials for improved conditions for people who walk. Meridian, through the Looking Glass Meridian has grown rapidly over the past 30 years from a town of 10,000 to a city of more than 100,000 people. With that growth has become greater demand for active transpor- tation facilities for both transportation and recreation. Meridi- an has proactively pursued pathway networks along some canals, primarily through new development, and is seeking continued upgrading of its off-street shared use pathway net- work. The City’s promotion of downtown as a community hub and employment center has also led to a desire to make it a “go to” place rather than a “go through” place. Sidewalks along major routes come primarily from new devel- opment or when Ada County Highway District widens a road or intersection. In the future, Meridian is interested in promoting more shared use pathways along major roads to not only create linkages in their off-street pathway system, but recognize that in-street bike lanes do not feel safe—and are therefore rarely used—by a majority of people who bike. This document outlines some strate- gies for Meridian to achieve these goals. This report was supported by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.

Looking Glass Academy Meridian, Idaho Summary—October 2020 2 Meridian Crash Evaluation The Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC) maintains an online map of all traffic crash- es in Idaho. The map below shows the location and severity of the pedestrian and bicyclist crashes in Meridian. Nearly 1 of every 3 traffic fatalities in Me- ridian over the five-year period from 2014-2018 was a person killed by a driver while they were walking or bicycling. Three of the deaths occurred on ITD- managed roads while 2 were on ACHD-managed roads. Serious injury crashes are those that result in some type of disabling injury and are considered life-altering events for someone who survives one. People who walk and bike comprise roughly 1 in 12 (or 8.1%) of the total serious injury crashes in Meridian, with 27 occurring on ACHD-managed roads and 3 on ITD-managed roads; one appears to have occurred in a parking lot. Overall, pedestrians and bicyclist comprise more than 4% of Meridian’s total injury crashes in that five-year timeframe. Each year ITD publishes its estimate of the economic cost per traffic crash as part of its statewide report. The five-year total economic cost of crashes involving people who walk and bike is $77 million, or $15.4 million per year. As ITD’s Idaho Traffic Crashes 2019 report notes, “these costs are passed on to the public through insur- ance premiums, taxes, direct out-of-pocket payments for goods and services, and increased charges for medi- cal care.” The map below shows the high injury crash network for people walking and bicycling is primarily along the Fairview/Cherry corridor, as well Meridian Road, Linder, and Eagle Road. All Crashes Pedestrian & Bicyclist % Pedestrian & Bicyclist Fatal Injury 16 5 31.3% Serious Injury 380 31 8.2% Visible Injury 866 68 7.9% Possible Injury 1,957 32 1.6% Total 3,219 136 4.2% Meridian Traffic Crashes, 2014 -2018 Pedestrian and bicyclist crashes in Meridian are concentrated along the section line arterial system that has features con- sistent with what national data tells us are risk factors for peo- ple who walk and bike:  High traffic speeds.  Wide roadways and intersections  Infrequent crossings.  Land uses that attract pedestrian and bicyclists. The intersection of Fairview and Locust Grove is of particular concern, as it is cluster of 11 crashes in an area with a grocery store and other key shopping destination. Meridian Bicyclist & Pedestrian Crashes, 2014-2018 101 Item 6. Looking Glass Academy Meridian, Idaho Summary—October 2020 3 Recommendations Arterials & Collectors Section line arterials in Meridian are upgraded to include continu- ous sidewalks and some form of bicycling facilities when ACHD adds vehicle capacity to the road. There remains a challenge of ensuring sidewalk connectivity until those widening projects occur. The nature of a rapidly-developing city like Meridian means devel- opers will build sidewalks along their arterial street frontage, but out-parcels still lack safe walking facilities. The widening of Chinden in Meridian is designed to include side- walks on only the south side with sidewalks on the north side slated to come with an scheduled widening to 6 motor vehicle lanes. The Federal Highway Administration’s PEDSAFE Countermeasures Selection System notes that along major arterials, as well as urban collectors and minor arterials, sidewalks are “required” on both sides. This is due to developed areas generating notable pedestrian trip demand and land uses along these arterials are desired destina- tions for pedestrians and bicyclists, just as they are destinations for motorists. Alternative Sidewalk Treatments. There exists alternatives to tradi- tional curb, gutter, and sidewalks to fill gaps on these yet-to-be wid- ened roads to improve safety for pedestrians in Meridian and fulfill where FHWA notes sidewalks are required. Several roads in Ada County include an extruded curb treatment, whereby the asphalt shoulder of a road is extended to be a minimum of 5-feet of space to serve as a walkway. An extruded curbing is installed on the travel lane side of the walk- way to help protect the expanded shoulder as a pedestrian space. A shoulder of one– to two-feet in width is typically provided between the curbing and the fog line of the travel lane to provide for shy distance for motorists, with a greater dis- tance provided for higher speed, higher volume roadways. The curbing should be designed with gaps to allow storm- water to flow through. Constructing these so street cross- ings have ADA-compliant connections with proper slopes and detectable warnings (truncated domes) is important. Meridian is encouraged to consider filling walkway gaps on arterials in its annual project request list to ACHD. Given the Chinden widening to six lanes has no funding, it is advised that the City work with ITD to identify how either a separated pathway at the edge of the right-of-way or these extruded curb treatments be added to the north side of Chinden to make the route safer for pedestrian and align with FHWA’s guidelines. Interchanges along the SH 16 corridor also show a concept design that has a pathway on only one side, which should be strongly discouraged by the City of Meridian and its partners with COMPASS, Ada County, and City of Nampa.

Looking Glass Academy Meridian, Idaho Summary—October 2020 4 Crossing Frequency. Recent pedestrian safety studies by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Insur- ance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) have identified a lack of safe, frequent crossings on arterials as a key contrib- utor to the pedestrian safety crisis in the United States. This lack of frequent crossing opportunities along arterials in Meridian is consistent with the national findings. A recent example of concern over lack of adequate spacing of pedestrian crossings arose with ACHD’s pending Fair- view, Locust Grove to Eagle Road, widening project. The intersection of Webb Avenue with Fairview is roughly 1/3- mile east of the Locust Grove intersection. AASHTO publishes a variety of design guides that are en- dorsed by FHWA, as well as referenced in design and policy manuals that ITD and ACHD use. AASHTO is the state organ- ization representing state DOTs like ITD. ITD sits on AASH- TO’s Board and Technical Committees. AASHTO’s Guide for the Planning, Design, and Operation of Pedestrian Facilities discusses the frequency by which pedestrian crossing are to be provided on roadways. ITD is signatory to this document and lists it in its Design Guide. ACHD’s Policy Manual references the AASHTO “Green Book” in its policy manual and the Green Book cites the AASHTO pedestrian guide more than 30 times. As noted in the figure below, AASHTO states that (emphasis added) “pedestrians cannot be expected to a quarter mile or more out of their way to take advantage of a controlled intersection.” Additional support for this crossing frequency is cited in the Institute for Transportation Engineers (ITE) Designing Walkable Urban Thoroughfares, which is endorsed for use by FHWA. Signal options such as Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons are sup- ported by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices when traditional signal warrants are not met for number of pedestrians using a crossing that lacks any type of traffic control. Meridian is advised to cite these guides in requests to ACHD and ITD for more frequent crossings for pedestri- ans on arterials. Attention should be given to placement in relation to land uses, intersections of collector streets, and other pedestrian trip generators such as schools, parks, churches, and other gathering places.  Assumptions: Assume that pedestrians want and need safe access to all destinations that are accessible to motorists. Additionally, pedestrians will want to have access to destinations not accessible to motorists, such as trails and parks.  Generators and Destinations: All transit stops require that pedestrians be able to cross the street.  Frequency: Pedestrians must be able to cross streets and highways at regular intervals. Unlike motor vehicles, pedestrians cannot be expected to go a quarter mile or more out of their way to take advantage of a controlled intersection.

Participants in the July 2020 workshop looked at the intersection of Fairview and Webb and discussed federal design guidance that supports placing a pedestrian crossing at this intersection. Fairview and Webb Intersection 103 Item 6. Looking Glass Academy Meridian, Idaho Summary—October 2020 5 Downtown Meridian Investments in pedestrian infrastructure in downtown Merid- ian over the last decade has greatly improved connectivity and the frequency of already-signalized intersections mean some sectors of downtown have adequate pedestrian cross- ing opportunities. As the downtown core grows in both de- velopment and density, more attention should be given to upgrading unsignalized pedestrian crossings to include things like Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) and Pedestri- an Hybrid Beacons (PHB). The workshop walk around downtown revealed three opera- tional items that merit greater attention by the City of Meridi- an and ACHD. 1. Pedestrian Signal Timing: Traffic Signals along Main Street in Meridian’s downtown core are programmed to promote north-south traffic flow. Pedestrians traveling north-south on the sidewalks are controlled at intersec- tions by pedestrian signals. It was noted during the work- shop that these pedestrian signals default to minimum crossing times given to pedestrians even though the green light time for north-south motorists is notably longer. Given the city goals to promote non-motorized mobility in its downtown, the City should consider a request to ACHD to program these pedestrian signals to give crossing times that align with the green time for motorists. Like in downtown Boise, pedestrians in downtown Meridian would be better served not having to push a button to get a walk signal. 2. Flashing Yellow Arrows: As of the workshop, ACHD had yet to program downtown Meridian traffic signals to eliminate the conflict that occurs when a Flashing Yel- low Arrow (FYA) is granted to a motorist while a pedestri- an has the right of way. ACHD is reprogramming its sig- nals to pre-empt the FYA when a pedestrian pushes a button. Pedestrian safety would be best served with pro- tected left turn movements in downtown Meridian. If Me- ridian does not want to pursue full transition to protected left turn phases, then it may be not be feasible to auto- matically giving pedestrians the walk signal, as noted in the previous recommendation. 3. Construction Zones: Parcel development in downtown Meridian will pose a challenge to pedestrian mobility as property and sometimes full blocks may be closed as the adjacent property is developed. Cities like Bozeman pro- hibit closure of sidewalks in its downtown core as they tend to promote a lot of out-of-direction travel by people who walk. Meridian may consider a similar policy. Side- walk routes can be maintained by ensuring more pedes- trian-friendly on-side construction practices. Encouraging these practices before developers design their construc- tion plans can avoid unnecessary closure. If it is deter- mined that a project must encroach on the existing side- walk, then closing the adjacent curbside parking lane and constructing a temporary walkway in its place is advised. Continued focus on downtown Meridian as a com- munity hub is enhanced by making it safe and con- venient for pedestrians to move about the area. Safer downtown networks also let parents allow greater independence for kids to access parks, stores, and other downtown destinations. Sidewalk blockages occur frequently in rapidly- developing areas. The City and ACHD should avoid allowing placement of signs in sidewalks, even if they still allow a minimum passing width. The x -base of the sign can still create a trip hazard and are difficult to detect by people who are blind or visually -impaired. Requiring signs to be post-mounted next to the sidewalk for projects that last more than a few days is desired. Downtown sidewalks should be a priority to keep free of construction signs and closure. 104 Item 6. Looking Glass Academy Meridian, Idaho Summary—October 2020 6 Sidepaths & Pathway Crossings Meridian has become increasingly aware that the common treatment of building bike lanes within the curb-to-curb sec- tion of arterial roadways is not viewed as safe as desirable by a majority of people who desire to bike for transportation and recreation in Meridian. This is a common finding in many bicy- clist safety studies. Meridian is requesting ACHD to convert its design philosophy to build shared-use pathways (e.g. sidepaths) on arterial roadways. This action is recommended to continue, but the City is encouraged to work with ACHD to revisit design requirements for things like commercial drive- ways and street intersections that must be crossed by some- one using the sidepath by bike or on-foot. Without more focused design, a sidepath is nothing more than a wide sidewalk and provides few visual clues to users and motorists to expect bicyclist traffic. The image at right shows a combined bike lane and sidewalk in Pullman, Washington that clearly delineates the space. Driveway and intersection cross- ings must be considered with regard to bicyclist traffic. Raised crossings that keep the pathway on-level and require motorists to drive up and over them helps slow motorists and encourage them to pay more attention to cross traffic on the pathway. ACHD has used green crossing markings on roads like Cloverdale when separat- ed bike lanes cross intersections. Slip Lane Aprons The I-84 interchanges in Meridian have right turn slip lanes intended to promote better motorist flow through an intersection. The illustration below shows a treatment in Bend, Oregon, that could be considered in Meridi- an. Working with ACHD and ITD to design these features will improve pedestrian safety. The apron slows mo- torists by narrowing the travel lane while the apron allows trucks to turn with ease. Sample Slip Lane Truck Apron US 20 in Bend, Oregon ITD’s sister agency, the Oregon Department of Transportation, designed intersection treatments along US 20 in Bend with features that could be implemented at intersection with slip lanes in Meridian. The apron shown in light red concrete is similar to what is con- structed on the interior of a roundabout to allow trucks to mount the apron. The right turn slip lanes I -84 interchanges in Meridian are the most likely candidates to consider these, particularly at the Meridian Road interchange where there is notable pedestrian use. The image at left shows a passenger vehicle well within the confines of the right turn lane but it’s easy to see how a truck making the turn could mount this apron. The result is reduced exposure to pedestrians for motor vehicles and slower speeds by vehicles making the turn. The image at right shows another angle of this treatment that connects to a pedestrian refuge island via a raised c rosswalk. Bend receives 24 inches of snow each year, indicating that these features—individually or in combination—are suitable to areas where snow plows operate. Continued focus on downtown Meridian as a com- munity hub is enhanced by making it safe and con- venient for pedestrians to move about the area. Safer downtown networks also let parents allow greater independence for kids to access parks, stores, and other downtown destinations. 105 Item 6. Looking Glass Academy Meridian, Idaho Summary—October 2020 7 Other Recommendations Code Enforcement. One way to improve the walking environment in Meridian is to proactively enforce city code and ordinances. Many specific requirements that were established to maintain a safe walking environ- ment. Ensuring bushes, trees, and plants are pruned and are not blocking sidewalks and curb ramps is one way to begin. Other common code violations may include continual blocking of sidewalks with obstructions, parking on sidewalks, unleashed dogs which can be threatening to walkers, and many other features should be properly addressed. A code compliance campaign could begin with a letter sent to all residents expressing the enforcement plan and the hope that residents will comply. This could be followed up with a warning, then eventual fine or more. Though enforcing code is not always palatable politically, it is an opportunity to address many shortcomings of the walking system without spending on improvements. Street Trees. The presence of street trees next to roadways are sometimes viewed as a safety hazard to motorists. That perspective has changed with some transportation agencies over the years as re- search now shows street trees have great value in promoting safer streets. While it is advisable to place street trees in proper locations along higher-speed roads, there are ways to design the major roads to ensure this is safe to all users. Street trees provide shade and buffer to pedestrians. The shade they create is critical for pedestrians using Meridian’s sidewalks in summertime. While doing a Looking Glass in suburban Salt Lake City in 2018, Vitruvian Planning measured temperatures near intersections that had street trees versus ones that were fully exposed. On a 100-degree day it was found that the sidewalk that had shade from trees was 95 degrees while it was 120 degrees on the exposed sidewalk due to heat absorption. Trees also act as a traffic calming device. The images below show the same horizontal roadway design on the same Meridian street, but one section has maturing trees while the other lacks trees in the buffer. Studies have shown that the feeling of enclosure that comes with trees forces motorists to slow down as the long-distance sight lines are reduced and the feeling of enclosure causes motorist to be more cautious. Maintaining trees is always a financial challenge and one that requires cities in Ada County to perform along ACHD roadways. Consideration may be given to which arterials would be best suited for trees to provide a more suitable walking environment based on nearby land uses.
