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

Recommendations
Amity Road is recognized in the Communities in Motion 2040 2.0 plan as one of the key unfunded corridors. Good
access management will help maintain efficiency and safety on this corridor. ValleyConnect 2.0 has identified
future transit service from south Meridian to downtown Star with 30 minute frequencies in the peak hours. The
route would originate near the intersection of South Eagle Road and East Taconic Drive, approximately 0.7 miles
away from this location when operational. The mix of uses may encourage non-motorized travel and the mix
housing stock which may enable many types of households to live in the neighborhood. The mix of housing stock
may enable more affordability and the proximity to a nearby public park and school will also encourage walking
and cycling.
