RE: CPA 08-010---Ten Mile Area Plan Street Section Modifications
Dear Mr. Ellsworth,
The Ada County Highway District would like to offer the following comments with regards to the above
mentioned application. Please forward these comments to any effected department within the city and
include these comments in the project file for this application.
ACHD has no objection to the proposal to designate street sections on arterial roadways within
the Ten Mile Specific Area Plan. The proposed street sections appear to be consistent with the
typologies that have been discussed for this area through the TLIP process. ACHD would like to
emphasize that any street sections designated at the planning level (prior to any concept study or
preliminary design) should be considered conceptual in nature. As such, designations of lane
widths and other specific details cannot be guaranteed. As develapmcnts and other piojects occur
in this area these details will be discussed through a cooperative process that includes all affected
parties. ACHD is committed to working with City of Meridian to achieve the goals the city has
set forth in the Ten Mile Specific Area Plan.
2. ACHD is supportive of removing street designations on roadways that fall outside of the Ten
Mile Specific Area Plan. Street typologies are being developed through the TLIP process that
can be used for streets outside of the Ten Mile area.
3. ACHD would support the proposed exception to not require medians along Franklin Road
between Black Cat Road and McDermott Road, unless the medians are required in the future by
ACHD for safety purposes due to traffic volumes or are needed for access control.
Please feel free to contact Justin Lucas at 387-6157 with any questions regarding these comments.
Thank you.
Sincerel
