8. 2025 Roadway, Intersection and Community Program Prioritization
Simison: So, we will go on to Item 8, which is 2025 Roadway Intersection and
Community Program Prioritization. Hether.
Hill: Good afternoon, Mayor and Council Members. So, I'm here this afternoon to
discuss the 2025 Roadway Intersection and Community Program Prioritization process
for the fiscal year 2026 through 2030 five year plan. I hope you had adequate time to
look through the list and memo that was sent out a couple weeks ago and as a reminder
as we start this conversation for our priorities to be considered we must submit this list
to ACHD no later than March 19th and this is currently the only time I'm scheduled
before you. So, a couple of things before we get into the list that I wanted to call your
attention to. There is a new format this year for submitting the lists. As you will see you
have two lists, one is for roads and intersections and, then, the other is for community
programs. These are ranged by priority and include both funded and unfunded projects,
whereas last year that was a bit different. So, if you see some shifts part of that is
because they are now all together. So, the Transportation Commission and the
prioritization subcommittee met a few times over the last few months and the lists and
rankings that you see are their recommendations for this year. They recognize that
most of the projects are very similar to last year's as part of the effort to group them all
together, so, really, they use that as a starting point for this year for the rankings.
Historically the Transportation Commission has placed a kind of importance on safety
and congestion using the level of service map that I believe was also included in your
memo as an exhibit. Looking at ACHD's scoring, projects that are actively in
construction and looking at strategic corridors to kind of inform how they rank the
project. So, that's -- I just wanted to kind of give you an update overview of why I'm
here. But, really, I can just stand for questions that you have on the list and we can go
from there.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Thank you, Hether. I wanted to start by complimenting you, because this is
the most comprehensive packet we have ever received about the five year work plan. It
is super organized and the level of service map was really fantastic and helpful. My
question was about Locust Grove. So, previously the Transportation Commission had
kind of prioritized like a corridor approach and I saw that bullet point about how there is
extra consideration given to like the Ustick corridor, but one thing that kind of stood out
to me in some discussions we have talked about, there are a lot of bottlenecks kind of
when you reach North Meridian if you are trying to get -- especially from like Ustick
Road to Chinden and I was curious -- I didn't see a lot of prioritization of Locust Grove
like north of, you know, McMillan, so I -- I kind of just wanted to understand is there
something about that segment that just didn't work? Is it something that just hasn't
been on the list? Kind of help me understand, because I see a lot of different Locust
Grove projects, but I don't see it going all the way through.
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 4 of 30
Hill: Thank you, Mayor and Council Woman Strader. So, part of the conversation with
the subcommittee was really -- let's look at like the top three, five, top ten, maybe 15
and just focus on those, since that's what we have been looking at year over year. Just
knowing that, you know, last year there were several projects that were unprogrammed.
So, where do we strategically want to have those projects and you are correct, like in
the top ten you don't see a lot north and so they were focusing on what we have
consistently had in the top ten and trying to group those projects together. For instance,
the Amity Road and Locust Grove, that's why you see a jump for that one on Locust
Grove particularly and that was the subcommittee's emphasis on trying to group corridor
projects with intersection projects, but I can't speak to their rationale for further north on
Locust Grove. I mean I think some of them are on the list, but, again, it's kind of limited,
like which one do you pick first? So, they were just focusing on more of the top projects
that would be foreseeable in the next five years.
Taylor: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Taylor.
Taylor: Hether, quick question kind of in the same vein as Councilman Strader. On that
connectivity on Meridian Road north of McMillan -- well, actually, it's really from Settlers
Park North it's two lanes. Can you give me some insight into some of the discussion for
the -- the subcommittee's discussion on -- on that? Because the same thing there is --
we kind of have some limited north-south in north Meridian to Chinden and it would -- I
just kind of want to know what the sentiment was with -- again she talked about Locust
Grove. I'm interested in what the discussion on Meridian Road was and where the
subcommittee came down and some of the discussions on that.
Hill: Okay. Mayor and Councilman Taylor, are you speaking to Meridian Road, Ustick to
McMillan? Is that the corridor that you are --
Taylor: It would be essentially Ustick to Chinden.
Hill- Okay. So, the entire stretch. So, I -- to be completely honest, as far as specific
corridors we didn't spend the time to go through every single one really because they
felt confident with the level of service map in the priority rankings from last year. I mean
understanding that, you know, they are looking at here and they can see that it's a level
of service C or better, I know, you know, when you actually travel on Meridian Road it
might not be the case, because it is a two lane road, but, really, that was their
justification is trying to take small bites at the apple, like where do we start with the
conversation and where do we advertise the rankings and so they felt comfortable with
some of those where they were from last year.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 5 of 30
Strader: Maybe just to try to close out the loop on that conversation, you know, I'm
actually pretty agnostic, like whether -- whether we choose to focus on -- if it's Meridian
Road or Locust Grove. Linder kind of specific and different, but I think it would be very
helpful to us to try to prioritize one of those corridors to -- to try to get all the way
through to Chinden, because it does really bottleneck it pretty badly. Like the Meridian
Road example I think is -- is a good one, because you have Heritage Middle School
right there, you are down to two lanes. There are no sidewalks. Like it's -- it's really
bottlenecking once you get past that school and Locust Grove I -- I think has issues as
well but, again, I -- I think maybe just an idea, but it would be good to try to elevate one
of the north-south corridors to actually get all the way through. It doesn't have to be like
-- obviously we have a lot of priorities here, but since we are elevating so many that are
kind of in that corridor that's what I was thinking was we needed something to try to get
it on the map. So, we are starting to program it even if it's, you know, a ways down the
line. But there is just a lot of bottlenecking in that area and if people could get through
to Chinden easily to help bypass McMillan, because you can see from the level of
service map what's going on here with McMillan is a disaster and the whole thing's red;
right? This whole segment that borders my district is like a complete nightmare. Not to
make it about that, but I do think like if -- if we have some way of people getting around
that that will help. Like Ustick will definitely help a little bit with the east-west and that's
programmed, but helping people kind of bypass this north-south seems important to me,
even if it's just getting it on kind of the list for -- for future years.
Overton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Overton.
Overton: And kind of to back up what's being said, I mean I know we have got Locust
Grove, Fairview to Ustick, heading north for the first mile segment as number two. But
in the interest of trying to take that whole level F section up, number 12 is the next mile
and they are always broke down into the mile segments. I would be willing to look at it
as we get closer to a final number of moving that second mile of Locust Grove between
Ustick and McMillan up higher into that list, so we could actually try to make that entire
corridor of higher service level.
Simison: And without the benefit of something like Dark Horse at our fingertips that put
the fire station right there long term that might also help get it moving quicker along that
corridor for that portion.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Hether, question for you about programs. How -- how -- who decides what a
program is and it makes the list? Is that something the highway district identifies, that
local jurisdictions identify, combination?
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 6 of 30
Hill: Councilman Cavener, are you speaking to whether they are programmed or not or
whether they are a community program or a road and intersection project?
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: The -- the latter. Just -- I -- when I look at the -- I guess for all of these, for
roadway priorities and the community programs who ultimately is the one that is
proposing those on this list? Is it -- is it us? Is the highway district? Is it both?
Hill: I would say it is us. These are our recommendations to ACHD of what our
priorities are as a city.
Cavener: Got it. Mr. Mayor, follow up.
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: If we wanted to create a new program for consideration are we able to do that
as part of this list?
Hill: Mayor and Councilman Cavener, as in -- when you say program, do you mean like
a new project? If you wanted to add something on to this list entirely new?
Cavener: Yeah. Mr. Mayor. Yes. And I -- I guess I was speaking specifically to the -- I
guess starting on page seven, the community programs list because I think those are
largely kind of pedestrian connectivity intersection stuff. It's not necessarily moving of
vehicles per se, but other ancillary projects that have an impact in some degree on
traffic and transportation.
Strader: That's correct. Yeah. Community programs tend to be like sidewalk,
pedestrian enhancement, sidewalks, PHBs, traffic calming initiatives and such. So, if
we were to add something this would be the way that we would say, hey, ACHD, this is
a priority to the city. They do have several that they receive from this community
initiatives or efforts or surveys. So, I know that they have more than are even on this list
that are in their future considerations to review and rank in future years.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor, if I may.
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Council, I'm at least going to refer you to Item No. -- I guess Draft 2025 city
priority number 18 on our roadways project. Roads and Intersections. That deals with
Black Cat from Franklin to Cherry. If -- those of you that were here may remember last
year I talked at -- at great length about this project, because speaking of bottlenecks
and congestion, you have got a -- a stop sign there at the train tracks that has a huge
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 7 of 30
impact on the flow of traffic. I actually think that the road right now is designed to
handle the amount of traffic it has, but it all bottlenecks at that stop sign. When you look
into the industrial project that we have -- that we have approved over there, I think a
handful of other projects that are going to be likely requested before us over the next
year, I'm really -- I continue to be concerned about that stop sign. In my meetings with
the highway district their response to us has been, well, then, make this a community
program and, right, we are -- we are 29 -- we are 2029, 2030 before this project would
ever be designed, but if we wanted to address the piece with the stop sign to maybe
segment that out as a community program, so they could focus on the main issue,
which is the bottleneck that's occurring at the stop sign and, then, improve the roadway
intersection as we get closer. So, when we get to a point of deliberation that's
something I -- I plan to suggest as maybe a meeting of the middle. It addresses the --
the overall larger challenge while still recognizing, you know, seven or eight years from
now they will start to work on actually improving that -- that roadway.
Hood: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Mr. Hood.
Hood: If -- if I can, I like where you are going, Councilman Cavener. I do want to just
call your attention -- we do have a couple of ACHD staff also available and if Council
goes there I want to make sure that that's possible. I -- intersections may need to be on
the roadways and intersections list. So, there is a -- kind of a gray area to me, what
does this classify? Is this a road and intersection improvement at the railroad tracks or
is this more a community program? So, may -- they are listening, so if they want to
chime in and if we are headed in a direction where they say, nope, that's the wrong list
for your project to be on -- so, anyway, just wanted to disclose that that they are
available.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor, if I may.
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Thank you for that, Caleb. And I certainly would invite that feedback. I will
say, however, that was the director that told me -- of the highway district that told me to
make that recommendation and so if he and I are both incorrect that's wonderful and we
are -- we are happy to both be corrected.
Hood: Mr. Mayor, now I can't wait for Kristy or Rebecca to contradict their boss.
Simison: Kristy, Rebecca, do either one of you have some context to that comment?
Inselman: So, it really kind of boils down to what exactly it is you are asking to be done
there. So, I -- I could see it going either direction. If you are asking for like a full
signalized intersection, for like full build out of that particular location I could see it going
on the roads and intersections section, but if it's something where you want like an
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 8 of 30
interim treatment, I do think that that does make more sense to go on the community
programs list. It kind of just boils down to what you are looking for. I -- I hope that helps
answer the question and neither -- neither person is wrong.
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor, thanks. That's -- that's a very nice job of threading the needle on
that particular one. Council, I think what I would envision is at a minimum is it's
removing the stop sign and replacing it with a -- with a flasher. I think that's enough to
keep the traffic moving north and south, while calling to attention, hey, that there is a
train that, you know, you got to be looking for the train if it's coming. Certainly I think
that there is probably a larger better approach, but that certainly comes at an excess
cost and I'm looking to try and solve that problem sooner rather than later. It's -- full
disclosure, I have a son who goes to that elementary school that's over there, so I see it
all the time, but I -- it is also an issue that I have received a handful of requests from
people in District Six that have voiced that concern about.
Taylor: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Taylor.
Taylor: I want to bring up another project on here, Ustick and Venable, the intersection
there. Can we speak to a little bit -- if we are moving ahead with the new community
center at the intersection, I would want to make sure that the timing of -- of the work
there and -- and traffic flow with that would be something that would work well for the
city. It's -- if you have been there it's -- it's going to be a mess with -- with the expected
flow in and out. I see it's -- it would seem to me it's a little low on our priority list given
the timeliness of that aligning with what we would think would be our -- our target
deadlines for that. So, again, it looks like it's in draft, a city priority of 31. 1 would think it
would be -- need to be much higher than that. I'm sure -- if you wouldn't speak to that or
if we can ask maybe Director Siddoway if he has some -- some thoughts, too, on -- on
what we want to see there.
Simison: And maybe, Mr. Hood, I think you were involved in how the warrants play into
the conversation, if any.
Hood: Sure. I can start. And, then, I think Mr. Siddoway may want to address you as
well. And Hether and I have talked and we -- we actually brought it to the
Transportation Commission's attention while they were going through their process that
-- that they explained I think -- and if memory serves I believe Hether even mentioned
that we have the new community center that's planned there and think about anyways
potentially raising this up. They were pretty -- I'm paraphrasing that conversation and
that whole process, but they are pretty focused on the level of service map and some of
the previous criteria, not so much the other considerations of a neighborhood. So, they
were -- they were pretty good, if you will, at that -- a point of not kind of playing in their --
their own personal beliefs or -- or other political things that could factor into these. So,
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 9 of 30
they left it kind of where it was, but they knew that they don't make the final decision
and, essentially, that's what they said is if Council wants to move it up our feelings won't
be hurt, but we don't feel comfortable moving it up as a body. And -- and warrants --
Mayor, I don't know if you want me to go into that, but this intersection is eligible for a
treatment. There is enough volume now, both on the -- the northern Venable leg, as
well as east-west obviously on Ustick. So, their traffic department at ACHD has said
you are on our radar to some degree and we would allow an intersection improvement
to go out -- to be here. I think they are leaning towards signal, although they haven't
totally discounted the potential for there to be a roundabout at this location, but it's
probably a signal.
Simison: Mr. Siddoway.
Siddoway: Mayor and Council, yes, we have also heard that the intersection meets
warrants for signalization. As we have been meeting with the public as part of our
public outreach for the community center project, we have heard clearly from the people
in that area that they -- that -- that the -- the traffic and particularly that intersection is
probably their number one concern and we have committed to them to try and be part of
that solution. We are certainly willing to help participate in -- in a signal in that location.
We have talked with the developer about the potential of doing a cooperative
development agreement to get that built ahead of schedule, but part of the challenge in
getting that approved through ACHD is that it hasn't been identified as a high enough
priority yet by the city to move that along. So, I would make the request that it go up
higher, so that -- and I don't -- it's not because I need to build it before the community
center, but it is so that we can build it with the community center at the same timeline
through a cooperative development agreement hopefully. That would be my goal
anyway.
Taylor: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Taylor.
Taylor: Just a quick follow up on that. I think it would be a mistake for us to miss the
opportunity to address that in conjunction with the development of the community
center. I do think it will bring significant amount of traffic there and also when you look
at the multi-family development there that's been sort of stop-start for a number of
years, their only access to Ustick is to come out on Venable and -- and come north to
Ustick and, then, out. Otherwise, they go back through the community and they have
sort of started -- we restarted some construction on some -- some projects, but I think
it's a 200 unit multi-family project there that when that's done their primary source to
Ustick is Venable. So, that's sooner than later than the community center on the other
side. I would think that we would want to -- it would be a mistake for us to not move that
up the priority list as a city to ACHD so they understood where our priorities were with
that.
Overton: Mr. Mayor?
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 10 of 30
Simison: Councilman Overton.
Overton: Just a possible clean up on the exact same one we are continuing to talk
about. If I'm not mistaken, under agency project description it says install full signal, a
roundabout, and if I'm not mistaken the option to build the roundabout is gone due to the
development on the south side of Ustick eliminated that from being a possibility. So, we
might just want to clean that up. ACHD can confirm or not, but I understood that they
could no longer get the right of way to do a roundabout and it will only be a full signal
when it's completed.
Simison: The question I was going to ask is if Council wants to weigh in at this time or
one way or the other. If you would prefer to have a roundabout or a full signal at this
location just generally maybe it's too early, maybe you would rather think about it, but I
think if you are going to move it up it would be good to give at least direction on what
you think is the best way to move people through this area yourselves. I have got my
opinion, but I'm not going to share it at this time, but we are -- and, if not, no -- not a big
deal, but just if we are going to convey intentions.
Taylor: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Taylor.
Taylor: I'm under the same impression as Councilman Overton that the roundabout is
not an option, because the -- ACHD didn't purchase the right of ways. So, that would
have to be done. But I could stand to be corrected on that. But I don't disagree with
what you are saying either in terms of how we would like to see that move forward if we
had an opportunity to weigh in.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Hether, for the consideration, if we are making some -- if we are moving some
priorities around, remember from past years really we should be thinking -- kind of to
your earlier comments, we should be thinking top ten, top 15 are really the only ones
that kind of rise to the level of I guess maybe seeing the highway district's kind of getting
their attention in terms of our priorities. So, if we are going to move something that's I
think ranked 31, we would probably need to move it to at least to place 15. Is that the
direction we should be following?
Hill: Mr. Mayor and Councilman Cavener, I would say so and as you may recall from
our joint meeting with ACHD and directors had comments about really focus on the top
three or five, because that seems to be what is most feasible to actually get done in,
you know, maybe five years. So, I would say that's really up to your discretion on
maybe like the top ten, 15 if you are really wanting to see something. It gets it on their
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 11 of 30
radar. They can rank the project. But, yeah, if -- if it was past the top 20 1 don't see --
you pick one or the other -- over the other.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: From a mechanical standpoint when we look at number one, Linder Road
overpass; right? That's -- and -- and how it plays from -- from -- all the way down to
Franklin, where that is designed -- a plan -- I assume they are in the -- I know they are
in the process right now of the right of way acquisition and the construction kind of being
planned, does it make sense for us to keep that as number one anymore? Do we need
to keep it as number one? If we were to move it does it jeopardize the momentum of
that project?
Hill: Mr. Mayor and Councilman Cavener, in conversations with ACHD and when Ms.
Inselman was at Transportation Commission there was discussion just about until
something's really shovel ready keeping projects at the top, so that we -- ACHD still
knows that it's a priority for us until it's actively in construction. So, that is why you will
see some projects moved that are under construction to make room for other projects to
move up the list. And I don't know if -- Caleb, if you have a further update to provide for
Linder that you feel is relevant, but I feel like that mostly covers it.
Hood: Mr. Mayor, I guess since I got called out and, Councilman Cavener and Council,
yeah, I -- I -- that is the direction we received from ACHD is until it's in construction you
should probably keep it on your list, so we are not sending mixed messages or that
ACHD reads into it that this is no longer a priority. For that -- that project in particular, I
don't see that happening. We have a good enough communication with them, they
understand this is a good project, however, I don't know that it's worth that risk and we
are following the rules. So, that's up to you. If you want to pull it pull it back that's your
prerogative. But that is what we have been asked to do is, please, do have this reflect
your priorities until projects are in construction. Regarding phase one -- so, near the
Overland intersection, the southern leg of this, bid opening I believe is tomorrow, so
notice to proceed is this spring. It's moving to construction, so that won't stop. There is
potential, though, that phase two -- so, the actual bridge, overpass and up to Franklin,
could be delayed if this fell too far below and ACHD says, hey, it's not a priority
anymore, let's go over here. I don't really see that happening, but --
Simison: Yeah. My -- my request is that you leave it where it is. I don't think it's going
to move anything up or down on the list based on what we do with that. You know, the
only thing it may do is send a mixed signal to someone like ITD board who has to
prioritize the next phase of funding. But I don't think we are going to get to sneak in
another project because of this project being listed at two or three or four.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor, maybe another quick question then.
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 12 of 30
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Hether, Caleb, was there any conversation of the Transportation Commission
about project number six with Linder Road? I just -- I recall this summer a highway
district commissioner saying because the cost of this project, the emergency be
prepared that no other projects are going to move forward and, you know, that -- that
was telling to me about where the highway district was coming in on kind of their
perception on this project and while I think it's important, I -- I don't know if it is more
important than a lot of the other projects that are on the list and certainly in light of those
comments it may warrant moving it lower on the list. But I don't know if the -- I'm always
trying to really respect where our Transportation Commission comes from and the
recommendations they make. I'm just curious if that topic was broached and if they
provided any commentary about that.
Hill: Thank you. Mr. Mayor and Councilman Cavener, the Transportation Commission
did discuss Linder Road, Cherry to Ustick. Not in great depth, but more so just
recognizing that they kind of just wanted to keep it where it was at last year based on
the concept study that was adopted this past year and acknowledging that if we are
focusing efforts on Linder as a corridor that at some point this project would most likely
be a priority for ACHD and from when they came for the joint meeting discussing like
their next steps. So, they just kind of wanted to keep it status quo as I recall.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Council, my -- my thought on this particular one is this was a project that was
largely initiated by the highway district. I think maybe moving it out of our top six or
seven at least sends a signal that we recognize it is an important project, but maybe not
at the expense of other projects that are on our list. So, something I would encourage
you all to at least consider.
Simison: And if I could add to that, I think in paraphrasing my conversation with the
director on this one is maybe it could be specifically called out in our letter of transmittal
that, you know, there may be two different sides of this. We look at purchasing right of
way -- because it's going to take a long time to purchase the right of way. You know,
encourage them to continue to purchase right of way for the build, but when the time to
actually prioritize that for construction maybe put that in a line where we think that
makes sense for other projects. That -- that seemed to be, again, something I think that
he indicated, you know, that way gives some certainty to even the people that are living
there. But it may also mean we got to work with folks on that corridor if those homes
become vacant or otherwise. Oh, I see Kristy is raising her hand. Yes, Kristy.
Inselman: Thank you, Mr. Mayor and Council Members. I just wanted to quickly
reiterate that when we completed the concept study for that one, if you recall there were
up to 35 homes that we would need to acquire. So, it's been our direction with this next
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 13 of 30
update to plan for early acquisitions of parcels and to budget for that. So, with the next
update you are likely to see right of way dollars in every single year, because that's
going to be a big lift to be purchasing that many. So, our current strategy is to do early
acquisitions on ones we know we are going to take and plan the funding accordingly.
So, I just wanted to let you guys know that that was a strategy we are going to adopt for
that section of Linder.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Strader.
Strader: Hey, Kristy, maybe a quick question. If you kind of proceeded to do that
strategy how long would it take do you think, just -- it's a guess, but how long do you
think it would take to eventually get the right of way if we kind of chipped away at it over
time? Is that a ten year project? A 20 year project? I'm just curious kind of what your
thoughts are, because I do recall it was a -- it was a pretty large project.
Inselman: Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Council Member Strader. So, it's going to depend on
how much funding we have each year. I think the current strategy is to budget a million
to two million a year, so that we can also keep moving other projects forward while we
are still acquiring right of way for that, so -- I mean I think the early estimates for the
right of way acquisition was around 20 million. So, it's going to take us some time to
acquire that much -- or it would be a really big lift in one year. So, a ten year plan
probably isn't out of the question to get that project going.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Yeah. And I actually think that -- that might be okay in a way, just because I -- I
tend to agree with Council President Cavener that I think this is important in the long
term vision, but it's not necessarily something that -- like I personally feel I -- I don't want
to sacrifice a lot of other projects to like prioritize this. I think if it's something that we do
take ten plus years to kind of do and we are just chipping away at it over time, like that
seems to make sense. That's just feedback from one person. But I would hate to, you
know, have that eat up all the dollars and, then, not get anything else done, because I
just don't think that would be acceptable for Meridian.
Simison: I concur with those comments as well, if that wasn't clear. Council, any
additional questions, comments, thoughts, next steps?
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 14 of 30
Cavener: I think that's the right questions for next steps. Hether, the letter needs to be
transmitted to the highway district by the 17th of March; is that what I remember
hearing?
Hill: The 19th.
Cavener: The 19th. So, Council, do you want to do any deliberation tonight? Would
you like to have a moment -- maybe a week to take into account the feedback from
tonight and maybe we schedule this for a future workshop for maybe some
modifications and an action? Does that seem doable? Seeing some nodding. Okay.
Simison: Would you like staff to come back with a recommendation of changes based
upon the feedback or do you want to provide direction to staff on where you would like
to see the items that you have suggested?
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Maybe it would really be good to hear -- I know in years past that staff have
kind of brought recommendations to the Transportation Commission. Is that the same
format that we have followed this year?
Hood: I will take -- I will take this one maybe. So, Mr. Mayor, Councilman Cavener,
Members of the Council, you know, staff had -- and we largely used last year's list this
year and the Transportation Commission largely did the same thing. At this point I
wouldn't be super comfortable having another bite at the apple if you will. We heard
your comments and I have got some notes. There are some conflicting notes, though,
like number 15 is Meridian Road, so if you bump one up Meridian Road corridor that we
started out talking about now it's 16 and out of the top 15. So, I would appreciate --
think staff would appreciate if you would give us a little bit more clarity and, then, you
guys could digest the updated list and tweak it further in a week or two or whenever you
want to bring it back. We have time. I would like some numbers. There is not too much
here really. I mean four or five projects is kind of what I have down. So, if you wouldn't
mind some general consensus and we can send that back out and, then, if we need to
discuss it more if you are comfortable with that.
Simison: And I think the question is for me for what I heard that I would think, you know,
Meridian or Locust Grove in the north which corridor, if either, was to be focused on all
the way from Cherry to Chinden would we suggest be that one. If we are going to follow
the Ustick model and we want to prioritize one or the other and let's say we have to
come up with that, but I think that would probably help answer some of these questions
if we had a thing, knowing that, you know, one of the biggest challenges Meridian north
of Ustick was not intended to be more than three, if I recall correctly. So, I don't know
what the impacts of that one are from a right of way acquisition, that Linder has done
that.
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 15 of 30
Hood: So, Mr. Mayor, it's a -- it's a great point. So, both of those corridors, Locust
Grove and Meridian, currently at ACHD are really only planned to be three lanes wide.
However, we sent them the letter after the last joint meeting said please -- please
preserve at least a hundred foot right of way or five lanes on all arterial roads in
Meridian and that's how -- if you read it it says preserve for three, four or five on both of
those corridors. So, there is some constraints on both of those as you get closer to
Chinden, because right now ACHD's only been buying the right of way for new
development to accommodate a 78 foot road, so -- or a three lane. So, I think there is
some -- and we could be more clear, almost like Ustick-Venable intersection if we don't
-- if we really think it is needed. Signalized or not roundabout, we can clean that up.
We could also be clear, though, if we are going to prioritize one or the other corridor as
a five lane roadway, if that's what Council wants to do, we can remove the language
about three, four or five and say, no, maybe at least a four slash five lane roadway. Can
I throw a proposal out there, we just -- we are going to kind of bite this off. I think we
have a little bit of time. So, just as a reference -- and we have the list there, but that
intersection at Locust and Fairview and kind of the northern leg of that that starts Locust
Grove is priority number two right now. Don't know if you want to move that or not, but,
then, the next mile up, right, between Ustick and McMillan is 12 and, then, 49 is the next
mile up to Chinden and that last -- that last segment. What I would propose -- you could
choose either Locust Grove or Meridian. I'm -- I can see benefits to both; right?
Meridian Road has an 1-84. Locust Grove serves as largely a detour route for Eagle
Road and -- and other purposes, but you have 12 and 15 and you could move the one
that's at either 33 or 49 and put -- you would have the two mile segments of either
Locust Grove or Meridian at 12 and 15 and have that make a connection at least in the
top 15. It pushes the other ones down -- at least as an interim you push the other
corridor down pretty far without monkeying with the mid 30s as priorities. But, again, if
you look at priorities 12, 15, 33 and 49 that's -- that's pretty -- pretty simple to move 12
and 15 together. Again, whether it's Locust Grove or Meridian, but that gets -- that gets
you up to Chinden in the top 15 anyways.
Taylor: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Taylor.
Taylor: In the spirit of giving direct feedback today, my -- my preference would be to
prioritize Meridian Road, given Eagle two miles -- you have Meridian two miles, you
have Ten Mile, it seems -- and -- and given that Meridian is a much more trafficked road,
we have some new developments we have approved north of McMillan on Meridian
there on the west side. So, I -- because it seems like Meridian Road is -- I -- I don't
know the -- the -- the -- the -- the counts on traffic necessarily, but it seems a bit more of
a north-south because of that connectivity with 1-84 would seem like it would make more
sense to prioritize that. That's Councilman Taylor's perspective. So, I would -- I would
move those up if we were advocating for that and I'm curious if other Council Members
agree. I also think that the intersection on Venable and Ustick we should put in the top
ten somewhere, because I do think that we need to signal a strong priority to addressing
that. Whether that's a roundabout or a signal, I don't know that I have a personal -- I
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 16 of 30
actually prefer roundabouts myself in a situation like that, but I don't know if that's the
best thing and I don't even know if it's an option. But I think we ought to highlight that as
in the top ten to make sure that they get our attention with the timing of when we think
that the -- the community center is going to come online. Those are really the only two
ones that I feel pretty strongly about.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: It might be good if -- I don't know if ACHD has any feedback, because I think
maybe the feasibility would -- would be an important factor just in -- is one of these a bit
easier to achieve than the other? I don't have very strong feelings, to be honest. Like I
think either of them could really help the situation. So, I'm not super tied to either one,
but is there one of them that, you know, maybe, Kristy, if you are like, listen, the ship
has sailed on Meridian Road for whatever reason. It's just really really challenging. Or
there are some maybe geographic -- like geological considerations -- like I have no
idea, but just kind of wanted to ask that question between those two kind of final legs to
hit Chinden is there one of them that is easier to accomplish than the other?
Inselman: Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Council Member Strader. I don't know that I have at
this particular moment a great direction for you on either corridor. I think any of the
corridors that we have in the master street map is a three, four or five. All of those I
think we have already tagged knowing it's the desire of the city to go to five lanes on
every arterial. All of them are going to require a concept study, because we are going to
need to do a deeper dive on property impacts, other existing effects when it comes to
like irrigation or any of those, you know, geographical -- or, sorry, geological issues. So,
I think it's just whatever the preference is for -- for the city. I don't think we have
designated one is more feasible over another. It's just we know that both we are going
to need to be doing some type of a concept to really determine the ultimate treatment
and what that's going to look like. I know it's not probably super helpful, but that's all I
have.
Overton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Overton.
Overton: And not to get into Meridian Road versus Locust Grove conversation too
much, but I do favor the Locust Grove simply based on -- when we look at the current
levels of service and the fact that that two mile section of Locust Grove is level of
service F compared to the C or better for Meridian Road, I know it may not appear that
way, but I have got to put some faith and trust into the tools they are doing and
providing for us. I think that we kind of owe it to residents to try to hit the reduced areas
as hard as we can instead of avoiding that and going with one of the areas that's
already got a good service level. That's my two cents.
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 17 of 30
Simison: Maybe this one we think about.
Cavener: Yeah. Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: I think that maybe makes sense. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Let's -- we can work
to schedule this for maybe two weeks, give Council an opportunity if they need to meet
with staff directly to talk through concerns or questions, but have this back on the
agenda -- I assume on March 11 th for deliberation and action.
Simison: The only thing I will add to the conversation is one requires three miles of
work, one requires one and three-quarters of a mile. Like I say, it's easier, cheaper, but
it is less and we already know the reason why the Locust Grove hasn't moved is
because of all the right of way acquisitions that are required -- at least been a big part of
the -- the reason. So, we know that there is that impediment, but that's also where we
have the fire engine and I think getting the fire department to have part of the
conversation if they can help articulate any of the value benefits might be a good part of
the conversation for Council to consider.
Cavener: And Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: That point for -- for our friends from ACHD, recognize we kind of put you on
the spot, but if there is some feedback I think Council Member Strader asked a very
good question about viability. If over the next week and a half there is an opportunity for
them to provide us some of that feedback I think that's an important consideration as
well.
Simison: Okay. Then with that we will go ahead and schedule this for two weeks if that
works on your guys' calendar for further conversation and dialogue. Okay. Council,
with the time is there a preference on which item you would like to do next?
Cavener: Mr. Mayor, I will look to staff. We feel confident we can do CFP for parks and
MIPS in the next 45 minutes. Are we in a spot that we have got to pick one or the
other?
Simison: I don't know that we need to pick, but I want to make sure we get through
whatever one for certain you would like to hear tonight.
Cavener: I guess, Mr. Mayor and Mr. Nary, could we move our Executive Session to
after our -- our regular meeting?
Nary: Yes.
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 18 of 30
Cavener: Okay. So, Mr. Mayor, I'm -- I'm comfortable with starting with Item No. 9 and
we have got Hether here, we can move through MIPS and, then, we can make a
determination about the CFP after that.
9. Meridian Intersection and Pedestrian Safety (MIPS) Project Update
Simison: Okay. With that we will move on to Item 9, the Meridian Intersection
Pedestrian Safety, MIPS, project updates.
Overton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Is that Councilman Overton?
Overton: Yes. If I can do a lead into this.
Simison: You bet you.
Overton: Before Hether starts talking. So, as most of you know we started this -- this
was actually through the efforts of the Mayor when we first started this task force back in
2023. We had a -- a fairly narrow scope at that time based on several fatalities across
our city and that narrow scope was to focus on those intersections and make sure they
were safe and that we didn't have any patterns or things we needed to do better in
those areas and quickly we discovered as we went through all of these intersections
and where the locations were of things that happened that they couldn't have been
more randomly spread out across our city. Caused our scope to get a little larger as we
ended up studying almost every single intersection within the entire community and
pathways to some of the schools that kids use all the time. It got to be a much larger
project. But at the same time we had a collaboration of people that was initially ITD,
ACHD, COMPASS, West Ada School District, multiple members from our Police
Department, multiple members from Community Development and -- and, Miranda,
when she worked for the -- the city was our lead on that on doing the work and, then,
we suffered an issue when she left and we kind of -- it kind of dropped for a little bit and
Hether has done a pretty amazing job of picking this up and bringing it to where it is
today and I just want to do a shout out before I turn this over to her, because yesterday
was our board meeting at COMPASS and they put out the 425 page Regional Safety
Action Plan and in the executive summary for the section on Meridian first thing they call
out is the interagency collaboration of our task force is one of the strong points that they
really enjoyed. Now, we had COMPASS at the table, but they were very impressed that
we brought that forward and worked with all our collaborative partners to look for who
has funding to take care of what. What can we get done that's not on anybody's radar
and, then, eventually, to get to the point we are at now, which is where are those items
in our city that aren't covered by anybody else? Where are the holes and what can we
do moving forward to enhance these levels of safety at these intersections. With that,
Hether.
Meridian City Council Work Session

Hill: Thank you, Councilman Overton, for the introduction. He kind of stole some of
what I was going to say, but that's okay.
Overton: I'm sorry.
Hill: He can speak to it better being part of it for years prior. So, I'm here to talk about
the MIPS project and recommendations. As you may recall I was here in early January.
We pivoted a bit and so I'm back. So, really, I'm here to just kind of give a brief
reminder, projects for consideration and next steps. So, as part of the fiscal year '25
budget Council approved the funding request of 500,000 dollars to support the
implementation of these projects and over the course of the past year, plus I have been
working closely -- we have been working closely with ACHD staff to evaluate all of the
projects in this report and to kind of just define which ones are already in progress,
which ones would be good opportunities to partner with the city and move forward and
so with that I will just kind of move into, for the sake of time, some of the project
recommendations that we have come up with from the last meeting. So, these projects
on the screen -- these are crosswalk paint projects. They are not significant in cost, but
they are identified on the list of recommendations in that initial report. Many of these
projects are in the vicinity of other enhanced crossings. There is several PHBs that
these crosswalks are near, so, really, I believe the MIPS effort was to just bring
pedestrian awareness that there is pedestrian activity in this area and it is an ACHD
standard to mark these crosswalks on adjacent approaches, but after conversations
with them they were willing to take on the additional maintenance effort at these
locations after we do the initial placement, if Council so chooses, and that would be
doing thermoplastic paint, which wears better in weather and lasts longer and so each
of these -- there is 13 crosswalks on this -- on your screen that would be up for
consideration to move forward with. The cost for these would be approximately 52,000
dollars and this includes the thermoplastic paint, construction, traffic control and
flagging. So, that's the first group of projects. I can keep moving through them,
because I have a few categories, but if you have questions, please, feel free to stop me.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Hether, how do we determine these crosswalks?
Hill: How do we determine --
Cavener: Versus the other -- other crosswalks that are out in the community?
Hill: Mr. Mayor and Councilman Cavener, I don't know how they picked one crosswalk
over the other. I'm just looking at the report that the task force came up with and so this
is -- these were ones that had recommendations.
Cavener: Got you.
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 20 of 30
Hill: And so I don't know if Councilman Overton wants to speak to that as part of his
efforts.
Overton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Overton.
Overton: So, when we were originally looking there were -- most of these that you see
on this list were never originally picked out by ACHD to have crosswalks. They weren't
ones that met their needs at the time. But when we started to look at now as
everything's being developed and where pedestrian travel is and school children travel
is, we -- we discovered that there were a lot of them that if we could go back in time
probably should have been done. So, that's how this list was done. None of these are
on the current list of ACHD for crosswalks. We identified them, but they are willing to --
if we put them in they are willing to maintain them from now into the future.
Cavener: Thank you.
Hill: All right. So, the next group is pedestrian ramp improvements and some sidewalk
repair. So, there were a couple of projects on the list that ACHD felt would be a good
project for us to do because it doesn't require any significant right of way acquisition and
so the two on here are Linder and Turtle Creek. It's the photo on the right. It's at the
PHB adjacent to Tully Park just improving some of the ped ramps there and placing
some there and, then, Meridian and Autumn Park Lane, the sidewalk is in a state of
disrepair. So, those were a couple of projects that they felt would be good, easy,
concrete work to do if we were interested. The funds for that could be between -- up to
maybe about 50,000 for both of them. Those are just rough costs; right? This is just
kind of us just sketching and trying to come up with some projects. So, between the
crosswalks and these two concrete projects that would be kind of an immediate benefit
let's say for about 102,000 and as you know you approved 500,000. So, that still leaves
around 400,000 dollars to apply towards other projects and so there -- there are several
opportunities in the MIPS list and so this time I'm not coming before you to discuss the
PHB at Locust Grove and Woodbridge necessarily. There are several opportunities to
look at site vision projects, such as Locust Grove and Pine or Locust Grove and Central.
I will go into some additional projects that we have identified through coordination with
the Mayor's office and ACHD staff that could -- they could be greater projects, but they
would require further coordination with ACHD and ITD to really scope out and identify
what those would be and so that's just kind of where we are at with those. I would like
to just note that in conversations with ACHD I know that there is a lot of list projects on
the list, but really it's anything requiring right of way acquisition really should be placed
in the five year plan, just because that's a significant effort. So, I just wanted to just
throw that out there for consideration. So, as I alluded to these -- these are several
projects where I think could be opportunities to further coordinate, review and scope
with our partner agencies. Many of these could be improved crossing or improved
safety elements. Maybe there is some infrastructure studies and pedestrian and bicycle
evaluations, pedestrian ramps and so the list -- the MIPS list has all the
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 21 of 30
recommendations for these projects, but I wanted to at least put these up here, but
depending on how Council would like to proceed in your recommendation on whether
we do the crosswalk and sidewalk repair or if we want to focus on some of these, just
kind of putting everything on the table for you. So, I think that's really it. The feedback
that I received today will inform how I proceed in conversations with ACHD and ITD and
so with that I can stand for questions and we can have a discussion.
Simison: And so -- so, Hether, if I could just add on. I -- I think really that at this point in
time the recommendations -- do the projects that you have seen that have a general
cost and move those forward this spring to the best variability while they continue to
work on some of these other projects and potentially bring back future projects that may
not get done in this budget year, but we can scope them and if they can we would --
would do that. At least to identify with the budget that's been allocated what that makes
sense for. Obviously that list didn't have any direct -- what's on these other ones that
you were showcased and I saw one that wasn't on there. I thought Victory and Meridian
was going to be on that list, but -- so, there is still others if people still want to bring them
in to look at. But that's their recommendation at this time, with the others to be worked
on and reviewed in future. Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Mr. Mayor, thank you. So, I thought it was a good memo. It sounds like what
you are looking for. What made sense to me was you are pretty actionable on the
crosswalks. They agreed to maintain them. The pedestrian ramp improvement
sidewalk are pretty actionable. I think in terms of like value for what we could put into it
-- like it feels like a good value to me in terms of the trade off with enhanced safety
compared to what we are investing in. I -- I tend to support moving forward on those. I
think we have a lot more exploring to do on the other prioritizations though and I would
just maybe add to that list and not to like muddy the waters too much. I realize that
maybe this is a community program. It would be great to flush out what's going on with
the stop sign on Black Cat, Franklin to Cherry. I would just like us to try to flush that out
and think of that as a possible project. It may not make sense, but I -- it just feels like
it's a more urgent situation and I would just like to try to figure out is there something --
lower cost that we could do on our end? Like should that be in the -- kind of list of
bigger projects I guess. But, yeah, I -- I'm supportive of like number one and number
two in the memo seemed fine. I just think past that it's like we need to have another
meeting once you kind of sort it all out.
Simison: Yeah. Absolutely. We wouldn't -- we will figure out how much we can or can't
do -- get into some of these projects pretty quick. Okay. I see general head nods.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: The only thing that I would -- I would suggest -- and I don't know if the MIPS
team looked at this or not, but I know there has been some challenges with getting
crosswalks painted along state highways. There is some disconnect that's occurring
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 22 of 30
between maybe the highway district and the state. I think right at the intersection of
Overland and Meridian I continue to receive feedback from residents in Bear Creek and
certainly with the proximity of -- of Wahooz and Roaring Springs there is a pedestrian
access along there, like it doesn't seem that maybe the highway district and the state
are able to connect on getting those repainted. Rather than maybe waiting for them to
try and figure out a workflow process, if we could maybe intervene and offer to take care
of that as well that would be a -- another recommendation.
Simison: Don't say that out loud. We are going to do it.
Cavener: No. We have been waiting.
Simison: It's really just waiting for the weather before they will get out to that. The
crews aren't out to do the painting. That's what we have been waiting on. At least that's
what they have shared directly with us that that it's on the list to get first and foremost
when they get the paint crews out.
Cavener: And, Mr. Mayor, I guess my ask would be is maybe for our staff to touch base
with the highway district and the state to make sure that that intersection before summer
is painted. I appreciate that.
Overton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Overton.
Overton: Real quick. We identified at least a dozen of those intersections where the
crosswalks were almost completely washed out and brought those to ACHD and ITD's
attention and that, again, what they told us was it's all -- we will put in on our list. Thank
you for bringing it to our attention, but we have got to wait until the weather changes.
Simison: All right. Well, with that we look forward to seeing something before the
spring and continue conversations and dialogue on the other projects and see what
makes sense that we can move forward, either by ourselves or in partnership with our

10. Comprehensive Financial Plan Updates
Simison: Okay. With that Item 10 is Comprehensive Financial Plan update. Mr.
Siddoway. Yeah. You just sit back there, Todd. You look good.
Siddoway: Thank you, Mayor, Members of Council. I know you heard from some of the
admin departments and police last week. I'm here to continue the -- the conversation of
the CFP. We have been working over the last couple of months on getting some
changes and updates to the CFP. Met with Anne -- Council Woman Little Roberts back
in -- can't remember -- end of November'ish and -- and Council Woman Strader and I
met in December. I provided each of you with kind of a 11 by 17 overview of changes.

You can see my -- my notes in there are -- I wrote these out in January and it was kind
of reflective of what we have moved and how they aligned with specific comments that
we had received from Council Woman Strader and some proposed changes from Todd.
I also think I provided it because I think it does a good job of kind of grouping things
together and as I'm going through the slides it can be a little overwhelming to just look at
all of them one after another and I thought some -- some grouping and some context
were helpful. So, that's there just as a reference and I have grouped these in a few
different groups. My first one -- it is kind of the main section here and that is because
we -- as Council Woman Strader and -- and Council Woman Little Roberts and I met
one of the big focuses was on -- really need to focus on when Parks operationalize.
The design itself was maybe less important, but when do we start needing operating
costs. When do we start needing staffing. When do we start -- and -- because that --
that's where the ongoing impacts happen. So, that was a big focus of our efforts. So,
I'm going to jump right in. The first one and our top priority would be the community
center. The construction is all impact fees and so that we are hoping to -- well, bring
that forward here next year and -- or in the next fiscal year and you all know the site on
the west side of Settlers Park. We are looking to do construction in '26 and '27. We are
actively in the middle of the design process right now. If the -- if the proposed schedule
moves forward as planned this would be opened in FY-28 and we are working hard, as
you all know, to phase the staffing and to see -- to take it -- to take it a bite at a time and
see what's truly needed as we get this open and you will -- you are going to see that this
whole first section of separated enhancements kind of explodes all of that. So, they are
all individual. So, I'm just going to move on. We -- we -- the Settlers Park expansion
construction is separate, but, obviously, tied to the community center. This is all the --
the grounds that are -- are part of it is the park expansion. It's 11 acres of the site that's
beyond the scope of just the community center. One of its main features is the
additional parking that helps to serve the park and the MYB complex. It also has a dog
park and open play areas. It's the area that needs the -- the new signalized intersection
or roundabout. I hadn't heard that a roundabout was maybe possible. I have only
heard signalization, but -- but the idea is to time this with the community center project
also over the next couple of years. That would -- so, we have -- we usually bring the
construction and the operations as one enhancement, but we have made the conscious
decision to explode that here and -- and point out -- we don't need you to budget for the
operations in 2026. We need to -- we need the operations when it opens in 2028. So,
we have -- we have separated those. We have moved it out. We have shared with
each of you the detailed operations pro forma that we have been -- been working on
and we are looking at that in great detail and, then, the staffing is -- is also -- could be
part of the same enhancement, but we have separated it just to make the point that how
we have bitten this off in -- in individual pieces. So, we are looking at a phased staffing
model. We propose to open the facility with two promotions of existing staff positions,
one being the facility manager and one being the classes and camps coordinator and,
then, we start into -- so, that would be in 2028 when the facility opens and then -- oh,
sorry. Then the operating for the -- the park. This would probably be a little earlier, but
we do need some O&M for the park expansion, fertilizer, restroom supplies, fuel and
some seasonal labor. That -- I did find a correction on this, which we have already
made in the CFP, but this slide was already built -- about 50 some thousand of that is
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 24 of 30
actually one-time cost for some of the equipment. So, that's not all ongoing costs and
some of that would come off of the ongoing request. But, then, the community center --
this is now two years after opening. We are out to 2030 now. We would look at -- we
have shown the need for three potential staff to be open seven days a week, as you
know into the evening. So, the first one we would propose would be number one of
three that would allow for additional evening coverage, Monday through Friday, if the
use is higher demand than what can be done with just checking out keys. We are going
to have the -- the access control and we will do as much as we can with access control
and if that's where we want to leave it we can do that. But we have also shown that we
may get a bigger bang for our buck with two-part time positions, rather than one full
time, but finding evening and weekend part-time help that's year round has proven
difficult at HomeCourt. We have recently changed some of those part -- we have
combined part-time positions into full-time positions there and so I have -- I have got it
built in as one full time, but if the market seems right for getting two-part timers we may
try that. And so that's 2030. And, then, I will just do 2031 we have built in number two
of three and, then, 2032 we have built in number three of three and so that's everything
-- I will just pause there, because that's everything related to the community center and
the park expansion. I think Council Woman Strader had asked early on when -- last fall,
you know, can -- do we need all three of these staff at one year or can they be spread
out? So, we have plan to -- you know, we are planning for them being spread out and
they can move from there down the road as needed. The next one on the list is
Discovery Park phase two. Sorry. Phase three. Phase two is built. But phase -- there
is a third phase to be done. It is the area south of phase two, kind of behind the ball
fields and the bike park and this one did not change in terms of its timing in the -- what
was already in the -- the CFP. So, there is no changes to it. It -- we are showing it as
designed in 2028. So, on the south end of the park primarily open play fields, possible
have some parking and maybe some restrooms, but it's the -- the final phase of
Discovery Park. The construction is currently plugged in for 2029 about four years from
now and this would include the construction and the -- the operating and, again, like I
said, no changes to the original timeline. One that did change -- and that's the -- kind of
the second one on the -- the little handout, this Graycliff stub, because I realized -- just
realized those were kind of flipped in the handout versus the slides, but it's the same
two years, 2028 for design, 2029, but this one was in 2026. We were ramping up to
bring this to you in the coming fiscal year, but we have spoken with the developer -- this
one is a proposed -- like it would be a partnership with the developer where they would
donate the land and the green app, some amenities and -- or we would do the
amenities, sorry, and -- but we have reached out. Their -- their timing has slowed down.
They are not ready for 2026. Best guess right now is 2028. If we find out a year from
now that it's moved faster it might -- it could become 2027, but it's not 2026 and so we
have bumped it out 2028 and -- for the design and 2029 for construction and that's
where that one currently resides. The next -- oh, there is also a maintenance tech staff
and it's -- it's tied to both Graycliff and Discovery. But with the opening of those two
there -- there would be the need to bring on one additional staff to cover both parks.
And we also -- that was originally programmed for 2027, but with the movement we also
bumped that one out to 2029. Fields District Community Park is the next one. It's the
new park in northwest Meridian and we originally had this one potentially programmed
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 25 of 30
in the -- the schedule I brought you last fall in 2027, just a couple years out, primarily
based on when we know the sewers coming from Public Works and -- but we have -- I
think that this one is coming out further. It is in the kind of the latter phases of how that
area is going to develop as we understand it. So, we have gone ahead and both
pushed it out a couple years and I will just say right now it could -- it might move out
further, but we also divided into two phases. So, it was -- this has phase one design. It
was -- we were thinking about it as a single project previously, but we split it into two
phases and move phase one out from -- from 2027 to 2029 and, then, the construction
from 2028 to 2030. So, basically, just bumping them both out a year -- two years each,
but one year after the other. This one would come with a senior maintenance tech and
we have also -- we have bumped that out from 2028 to 2031 , because we would need
that when the park's getting finished, not when the park is beginning construction. West
Meridian Regional Park is next and has not moved in the timeline. It's about the time
we think utilities will get there. This one's always felt like, you know, it should be closer
to developing than it has been, because we have owned it for a long time, but this is the
one at Cherry Lane near McDermott and even though it's always been less than half a
mile from existing city limits and it's an entirely different sewer shed, so we were waiting
for the new Black Cat -- is it -- or McDermott, sorry, trunk to -- to come and -- and bring
that -- bring utilities to that area. So, we still have this plugged in on the same timeline
at -- at 2032 for design, 2033 for construction and, then, this one also comes with a
senior maintenance tech and vehicle. We moved that position from 2033 to 2034 and
this one had two positions, but we have split this also into two phases and we have
moved the second position clear out to 2039. So, now we are 15 years out, because
we would tie that -- that second position to the second phase and that's beyond the
scope of the ten year plan we are talking about, but it's -- it is in the CFP, it's just further
out than ten years. The next park is Margaret Aldape Park and this is one that we are
very excited about, our first Boise River Park. Been talking with the Ewing family for
years and we have moved this out from 2030 to 2033. I'm very sensitive to not wanting
to send the message to the family that this is not a priority to us and I have had
conversations with them directly and we are all in agreement that this still -- moving it
out feels like the right thing to do and it kind of matches their current crystal ball of when
they would think this would probably -- might be able to come online based on current
development patterns and a lot can change over the next, you know, seven or eight
years, but -- and if it did things would move faster, this could potentially move up, Fields
District could move out. I mean we -- we -- the only constant about the CFP for us is
that it changes. So, we -- every year we take another look at it and every year it
changes. So, what I'm presenting to you I don't expect to be exactly what it is even five
years from now. It's going to change next year and -- and that's okay. This is a tool for
us to do our best planning and we -- we responded -- things change all the time and we
respond to those changes and update the CFP annually. We similarly moved out the
construction from 2031 to 2034 and, then, a senior maintenance tech from 2030 to 2035
and, then, with the addition of those three parks that I just covered last, Fields District,
West Meridian and Aldape, we would have the need on our structure to add a crew
chief, but we bumped that crew chief out from 2030 in the plan to 2035 to -- we could
hold off until we get to Aldape Park.

Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Go ahead, Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Steve, I don't mean to interrupt you.
Siddoway: Go ahead.
Cavener: I'm going to ask maybe a favor of you. We have, obviously, got a main
meeting that's going to start here in about 15 minutes --
Siddoway: Yes, sir.
Cavener: And I would like to give Council a quick chance to use the restroom and get a
quick bite to eat. So, what I would like, Council, if you are comfortable, is that let's
recess, everyone can use the facilities, make any phone, call grab a quick bite. We will
come back here and, then, Steve, if you can, then, we will have you conclude the rest of
your presentation, then, we will just roll right into the 6:00 o'clock meeting, if that works
for everyone. So, I appreciate your patience on that, Steve. I know you probably got
other places to be. Just trying to find a balance of getting everything brought together.
So, Mr. Mayor, if you are open I would -- I would move that we go ahead and just move
into a recess for about 15 minutes.
Simison: We stand in recess.
Cavener: Okay. Thanks, Your Honor.
(Recess: 5:45 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.)
Simison: Mr. Siddoway, if you would like to continue.
Siddoway: I would be glad to, Mr. Mayor. Thank you. This next slide is the last of the
parks grouping and I mentioned that Fields District Community Park was split into two
phases. We -- we were showing phase two out in 2035 and the construction doesn't
even have a slide, because it's further out than -- than ten years, so -- the next grouping
of CFP requests are those that are related not -- well, not related to operational izing
new parks, but still have staffing implications. So, I thought that was an important group
to -- to pull together and you see three of them at the bottom of the -- the sheet that I
handed out, but there is more than that -- these are the three that move, so I'm just
going to run through those. The first one is our volunteer program coordinator and this
is currently -- but we had a volunteer program -- program coordinator already. As you
know last year we morphed that into an events coordinator, got rid of the volunteer
coordinator, but definitely see the need to bring it back. Our volunteer program is
suffering. We have a way to do that with -- potentially with our existing admin staff and
giving them the additional volunteer coordinator responsibilities, but it would require
reclassification and we will have that for your consideration in the FY-26 budget and if
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 27 of 30
that -- if that reclass to our existing position is approved, then, this position is actually
going to get moved out of -- out of the CFP altogether. We have a pathway
development maintenance staff as we -- you know, as our pathway network begins --
you know, continues to -- to both grow and age, we will at some point need someone
that's more specifically devoted to that. We bumped this one out one extra year from
2028 to 2029 and, then, we have a park scheduling specialist built in that didn't move
years in 2030, so it's out an additional year from where that one got moved to. They
would manage the -- the scheduling of park facilities with our sports organizations, as
well as internal special events. This function currently is combined with our sports
coordinator, but we know with the ongoing growth at some point those two functions are
going to have to -- to split based on growth. If we are not there yet in 2030 this could
continue to move, but we are thinking -- I'm thinking that's feeling about right. So, 2030
is when that is currently proposed and, then, the forestry assistant and vehicle, we
bump that out three additional years from 2028 to 2031. We do have a growing and
aging tree network, but we do contract out the majority of our tree work. We can
continue to do that and we will -- you know, we -- we got it plugged in for 2031 and we
will bring it back as -- as it's warranted. Then the next grouping of CFP requests are not
related to either operation, parks or staffing. A lot of these are one-time cost. This one
is -- we have a CFP element for purchasing park land and they are -- they are all impact
fee eligible and they are built over multiple years between 2026 and 2033 and there are
-- there is just a guess when we are going to want to buy some land. I will tell you that
there is -- we -- we built in originally a 2026 request that's going to become an FY -- or
'25 amendment here in probably in the next couple months to purchase the Fields
District property that we have been working on and -- and updating you about. But
about April I think we will be standing before you with the proposal to -- to close on that
property. The LOI was approved by Council back in January and we continue to do our
due diligence on that. We are currently working on getting legal parcels to acquire that
would be building permit eligible in the future, things like that. So, somewhere around
April I -- I anticipate bringing a portion of those funds forward, but we still need future
land and, you know, one of the locations -- I -- I -- I plugged in this image from the
presentation I did to you back in October and, you know, looking far out, you know, that
southwest Meridian area that's just white on this map stands out to me as something
that -- that needs future park land. So, I will just put out there if anyone listening or if
any of you ever come across an opportunity for us to acquire what would amount to a
larger community or regional park size property, that's something that I would be
interested in. Bill, I did have to fork in this picture one more time. But pathway
connections, we have something built in annually, so this amount is not a one -- it's a
one-time cost, but it's not a one-time request. There is -- every year there is -- there is a
piece of it -- it's meant to fund new pathway segments and amenities. The master plan
is being updated and I think next year we would just be looking at doing some design
work for some of them, as opposed to constructing a new segment. But we will be
talking about that more with the budget. There is a request in that Dave Tiede -- I don't
think he is here tonight, but added to bring Wi-Fi to Kleiner Park, much like was done
last year in Settlers Park, to match what we were already doing in Discovery Park. So,
Settlers Park was done last year. This would do something similar in -- in Kleiner Park.
Park identity theming and reinforcement. About every other year we bring a request to
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 28 of 30
you for that. Season's Park was one of the -- the recent ones. We are currently
working on Chateau Park and just a heads up where the fabrication is about done on
those pieces and we expect them to be installed this spring. So, sometime later this
spring we will be announcing a ribbon cutting. Hopefully soon. But the next one would
be Settlers Park, according to our schedule. While it has an identity, there is nothing in
its signage or features that actually play off of the Settlers theme, so we may be coming
to talk to you about doing a -- some Settlers themed signage like we did Seasons Park
theme signage there. But Bear Creek, 8th Street are the ones that are future years.
Ustick Road median islands. Mike Barton was in front of you -- I think it was in
November talking about the -- the -- the -- the medians and the islands. So, there is --
there is kind of -- for ACHD purposes there is kind of two segments. There is Linder and
Ten Mile and Ten Mile to Black Cat and the roadway project is under construction out
there, if you go in and look I think, and so we are gearing up to do the landscaping and
maintain those. I think that's part of that same presentation. We also talked about the
Linder Road overpass median islands and those are scheduled for 2027 currently. So,
center islands with some artwork and the landscape buffer strips there. We have them
in our -- our plan. So, we remember that we are taking those on when they come.
Shade structures. About every other year there is a -- has been a request. This used to
be one of the top priorities for our Commission. As our park system ages and the trees
grow I think it seems to, you know, in the -- in locations that it was important to do this
before it's becoming less important. So, I don't know what the next project is. There is
an amount -- we will talk about that if there is a need. But, again, these are one-time
costs, not ongoing costs, but we will see if there is a need for a shade structure -- not in
2026, but in 2027. And, then, there is a couple of maintenance equipment purchases.
One is called a verticutter, which would be for the golf course. It's a thatch remover
that's needed out there. We already own the -- the piece of equipment. These are
attachments that would go on to an existing piece of equipment and, then, the tree limb
chipper shredder is part of our arborist work and we -- we do a lot of tree work and it
would sure help if we had something that we could just chip and shred our own tree
work, so -- Parks and Rec master plan, since we are looking out ten years, we did just
finish an update just a couple of years ago. You can see my -- the photo there. We --
we adopted the most recent update in 2023. We plugged in the next update for 2029.
We tend to update these about every five to seven years. So, I think that is usually
impact fee eligible. Is that right, Todd? Can't remember. But we -- I believe it is.
Nearing the end. Last -- I think I'm down to my last two. This one's just to get it on the
radar. I was approached by Sean Evans a couple years ago, at the time they were
looking to move to -- to have us acquire the building that exists in Storey Park,
reimburse them for the amounts that they had into the building. I don't know if this will
continue to be the amount. It's a placeholder. But when it comes time for them to --
when they build their new facility and they will likely be moving their offices and we
would like to make sure that that building becomes a city asset and not something else
and whatever that process is we are still several years away and we can figure that out,
but just to put it on the radar. And, then, we have recently approved some one-time
projects that -- that we would propose for this coming fiscal year. So, these are -- are
potentially 2026 project requests. One, Councilman Whitlock and I had a conversation
just about a month ago about Discovery Dog Park and request from the public that have
Meridian City Council Work Session
February 25,2025
Page 29 of 30
been coming in to expand it and there is room to expand it without taking over an
existing use. So, we can talk more about exactly what it is, where it is, why it is later,
but we are looking at potentially just expanding that dog park in what was phase one to
meet growing demands and, then, there is a few Lakeview projects. We have identified
an area where there is a lot of cut-through traffic from Black Cat. We would like to do
some safety fencing to prevent that cut-through pedestrian traffic. There is an old --
there is a lagoon as part of the pond that just fills with cattails and is a maintenance
nightmare that's no longer needed with the new design of the well and system there that
we would like to get rid of and at the same time get some access to the -- the -- the --
the netting that protects the -- the houses that are behind, so that we can actually get
back there and do some -- some maintenance work. There is some corners on the
asphalt drive. You can see the -- the -- the community center -- sorry, not the
community center, but the -- the -- the pro shop and -- and restaurant area, one, there
has always been a long standing desire to get a sign out there. There is nothing to
identify it as Lakeview golf course signage wise. So, we are -- we would like to do a
new sign and there is some corners on that asphalt loop drive that are always mud all
summer long, because they are too sharp and they get driven over, so we would just
like to correct that. So, small projects, but we would like to get some of those things
taken care of in this next year and that is my presentation and I will stand for discussion
and questions.
Simison: Thank you. Council, any questions for Steve?
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Just a compliment again, but phenomenal work on -- I think focusing on where
you are operational izing your parks and getting really granular and breaking the costs
apart of big projects, so that they are more within our control in terms of our operating
costs. I thought you did a really good job working through that with us and I just wanted
to compliment you again for that. Thank you.
Simison: Council, anything else? All right. Thank you very much, Steve.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Move that Executive Session move to the conclusion of our main 6:00 o'clock
meeting and so with that, Mr. Mayor, I move that we adjourn our work session.
Strader: Second.

yard at Kleiner Park to place a 10'x 12' wooden shed. The use and location are consistent with the
existing uses of the maintenance area. Any costs associated with the shed including purchase,
maintenance and insurance will be the responsibility of the Senior Center. The agreement was
prepared by our Legal Department.
Requested Action:
Approve the License Agreement between the City of Meridian and the Meridian Senior Center for

MEMO TO CITY COUNCIL
Agenda Topic on the City Council Workshop
From: Hether Hill, Coordination Planner Meeting Date: February 25, 2025
Topic: 2025 Roadway, Intersection and Community Program Prioritization
Recommended Council Action:
Staff requests the Council review and consider the Transportation Commission's recommended
rankings of projects (see attachments) for approval as part of ACHD's 2025 Roadway, Intersection
and Community Program prioritization process for the Five-Year Plan (FYP).
Background:
Annually, the City prepares and prioritizes transportation projects within our community for the
ACHD Commission to consider in their programming and budget processes. To be considered this
year, our priorities must be submitted to ACHD no later than March 191h. The intent of this
memo is to share some high-level programming info from ACHD as well as the priority
recommendations from the Transportation Commission.
After feedback last year, ACHD is only asking for two lists. The first list, titled 2025 Meridian
Prioritization Request Form - Roads and Intersections, consists of major capital projects, arterial
roadway widening projects, as well as major intersection improvements. The second list, 2025
Meridian Prioritization Request Form - Community Programs, contains projects including, but not
limited to: pedestrian enhancements (such as sidewalks, pathways, and ADA upgrades), upgraded
pedestrian crossings (such as RRFB/PHB signals), bike facility projects, and traffic calming
initiatives. Funded and unfunded projects are combined in each of these lists.
The Meridian Transportation Commission (TC), and the Prioritization Subcommittee, met a few
times over the last couple of months and have provided recommended priority rankings for each
list. Both the Subcommittee and TC recognize most of the projects have been on the list for several
years now so last year's priority list served as a starting point for the 2025 prioritization process.
The following guidelines provided high-level sideboards for the rankings.
• Historically, the City has placed high importance on safety and congestion when compiling
project priorities.
• The TC referenced Level of Service (LOS) to assist in understanding congestion. To inform
the ranking process, the Subcommittee utilized the LOS map provided by ACHD (attached).
• ACHD's scoring ( not all projects are scored and those that are, are not necessarily current),
focused on the strategic implementation of projects, e.g.,grouping intersection projects with
road corridor projects.
• Projects that are actively in construction were dropped out of the top 10 projects to allow
projects to shift upwards in priority.
• Previously identified strategic corridors (such as Ustick) were given additional emphasis.
Planning Staff have coordinated with Parks Staff and shared the draft lists and met with a
representative of both West Ada School District and Ada County to discuss project priorities and
partner agency support opportunities.
For more on the FYP and the project prioritization process including the methodology ACHD uses
to evaluate projects, please reference ACHD's webpage here.An interactive map for last year's
adopted 2025-2029 Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP) is also available here.

ITEM TOPIC: Meridian Intersection and Pedestrian Safety (MIPS) Project Updates
C� f1E RIDIA4,
MEMO TO CITY COUNCIL
Request to Include Topic on the City Council Agenda
From: Hether Hill, Community Development Meeting Date: February 25, 2025
Presenter: Hether Hill Estimated Time: 15 mins
Topic: Meridian Intersection and Pedestrian Safety (MIPS) - Project Updates
Recommended Council Action:
Feedback on identified projects.
Background:
As part of the FY2025 Budget, Council approved a funding request of $500,000 to support the
implementation of projects listed in the 2023 Meridian Intersection and Pedestrian Safety (MIPSI
Task Force Report. City and ACHD staff have been working together to evaluate the list of projects
identified in the MIPS report.ACHD staff have been assisting to determine which projects on the list
are scheduled for annual maintenance; which intersections, if any, have improvements in progress
or are planned for construction; which intersections require further investigation/evaluation; and
overall project complexity.
Below are three categories of projects recommended to Council for consideration. These projects
are identified as "Yes" in the "Recommend to Council" column of Exhibit -MIPS Projects.
1. Paint projects (crosswalks):
■ Arrowwood / Ustick (x2)
■ Black Cat/ Moon Lake (x2)
■ Linder/ Divide Creek (x1)
■ Linder/ Turtle Creek (see also below) (x1)
■ Meridian / Carlton (x2)
■ Meridian/ Director (x2)
■ 5th / Overland (x1)
■ Meridian Promenade (Lowes/Walmart) / Overland (x2)
Cost: Approximately $52,000 for 13 crosswalks ($4,000/each and includes thermoplastic paint,
construction and temporary traffic control/flagging)
2. Pedestrian ramp improvements and/or sidewalk repair (concrete work):
■ Linder/ Turtle Creek- PHB adjacent to Tully Park
o —$25,000 to $30,000
■ Meridian /Autumn Park Lane - sidewalk repair
o — $10,000 to $20,000
Cost: Approximately$50,000 for both projects
*In total,the 15 projects above provide immediate benefit and total approximately$102,000.
This leaves around $400,000 to apply towards other projects.
3. Other opportunities:
■ Site vision triangle projects - costs unknown and require coordination with private
property owners
o Locust Grove/Pine
o Locust Grove / Central
■ Explore other opportunities with ACHD or ITD that may be impactful and beneficial but
require more detailed scoping (see below).
■ Locust Grove /Woodbridge - PHB presented to Council on January 7th
o —$275,000 - $300,000
Other ACHD and ITD Projects:
In addition to the three categories of"Yes" projects, ExhibitA identifies several projects as "Maybe
- ACHD" or "Maybe - ITD". These projects require further coordination/review/scoping with our
partner agencies. These projects are as follows:
■ 8th/ Cherry
■ Ten Mile / Teter
■ Lakes / Fairview
■ Lauderhill / Cherry
■ Meridian / Broadway
■ Records / Fairview
■ Records / Ustick
■ Storey Park/ Franklin
■ Ten Mile / South of Park Creek
■ Meridian /Victory
■ Eagle / I-84 (N On-Ramp)
■ Eagle / Ustick
■ Eagle /Village
Projects could include direct projects such as view triangle obstructions, improved crossing
identification/signalization and greater crossing safety elements; as well as various infrastructure
studies, pedestrian and bicycle interaction evaluations, over-and underpass evaluations and
sidewalk gap infill projects. Rough cost estimates based on ACHD's current costing examples are as
follows; striping and/or painting of crosswalks and bike lanes - $500 to $5,000 depending on the
type of paint, number of lanes, etc.; pedestrian ramp improvements or pedestrian refuge islands -
$25,000 to $50,000; or Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (PHB) and Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons
(RRFB) - $200,000 to $350,000/each with varying additional costs depending on the number of
beacons, signals and/or pedestrian improvements the intersection requires.
