Comments:
Ustick Road is scheduled for widening including bicycle and pedestrian improvements (see Short
Term Funded Capital Projects below). This project will impact the Safety performance noted above.
There are three collector access points planned within .5 miles of the future SH-16 and Ustick Road
interchange. Coordinate with ACHD and the City of Meridian to determine appropriate access
locations along this corridor.
Who we are: The Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho (COMPASS) is the metropolitan
planning organization for Ada and Canyon Counties. This review evaluates whether land developments
are consistent with Communities in Motion, the regional long-range transportation plan for Ada and
Canyon Counties. This checklist is not intended to be prescriptive, but rather a guidance document. Past
checklists are available online. See the Development Review User Guide for more information on the
red, yellow, and green checklist thresholds.
Complete Network Appendix
Checkmarks (✓) below indicate suggested changes to a site plan, based on the COMPASS
Complete Network Policy (No. 2022-01). Both the Complete Network Policy and site-specific
suggestions are intended to better align land use with identified transportation uses in the
corridor. Please see the Complete Network map for primary and secondary uses for roadways
(minor arterial and above) in Ada and Canyon Counties.
Corridor Name: Ustick Road
Primary Use: N/A
Secondary Use: Public Transportation
Bicycle and Pedestrian Infrastructure
✓ Apply traffic calming measures to discourage speeding on local roads
Access Management
✓
Space access points (driveways or cross streets) to increase the distance between potential
conflict points
✓ Provide more access on lower functionally classified roads, such as collectors, and less on arterials,
to facilitate efficient and safe through movement
More information is available in the COMPASS Access Management Toolkit and the COMPASS Access
Management Business Guide.
Fiscal Impact Analysis
Below are the expected revenues and costs to local governments from this project. The purpose
of this analysis is to help the public, stakeholders, and the decision-makers better manage
growth.
Capital and operating expenditures are determined based on service and infrastructure needs,
including persons per household, student generation rates, lot sizes, street frontages, vehicle
trip and trip adjustment factors, average trip lengths, construction values, income, discretionary
spending, and employment densities.
Net Fiscal Impact by Agency
City County
Highway District School District
Breakeven point across all agencies: 1 Year
Disclaimer: This tool only looks out 20 years and does not include replacement costs for
infrastructure, public utilities, or unfunded transportation needs in the project area. More

budget of transportation projects for which federal funds are anticipated, along with non -federally funded
projects that are regionally significant and is available at:
