If so, financial partner: Also, future phases of the pathway would who? connect to Nampa and Boise. We have discussed this future extension with those a encies and future artnerships. Please briefly describe your project: The City of Meridian is interested in constructing a multi -use pathway alongside the UPRR line. There are seven arterial and one collector roadway crossings within the corridor. For the pathway to function effectively, safe crossings of the arterials must be developed. The City needs assistance in evaluating design options for the safe and efficient trail crossing at roadways, before proceeding with the remaining pathway design. This request is for the costs to hire a consultant to do preliminary engineering of the multi -use pathway crossings at roadways. How is the project consistent with Communities in Motion? This pathway project is in direct alignment with the vision, and many goals and objectives of CIM. As called for In Chapter 3 of CIM, this project will provide a new option for safe access and expanded mobility choices in the region. More specifically, CIM Objective 1.9 looks for additional travel choices in the region for all people, Including youth, the elderly, persons with disabilities, and persons of varying economic status. Further, in Chapter 10 of CIM, safe infrastructure for vulnerable users like school children, bicyclists and pedestrians are needed. CIM clearly calls for more travel options like transit, bike lanes and walking paths. This project addresses those needs by directly serving non -drivers, youth, and those of varying economic status while providing an additional safe mode choice to everyone. This project will also positively influence the jobs/housing balance issue. There are several dwellings and jobs near the rail corridor, making access to jobs and traveling across the valley to/from work easier. Consistent with CIM Objective 1.3, this project will expand capacity and increase efficiency of the transportation system by constructing a new facility that will relieve congested corridors and traffic bottlenecks while ensuring a connected regional system via the rail corridor. As the rail corridor generally runs east -west (the dominant commuter directions) and through the "heart" of multiple established neighborhoods and job centers, several Page 1 EXHIBIT A of the adjacent arterials should benefit from less congestion. This project should also help the region get to its target average mode split of 5% of all trips (CIM, Objective 1.4) There are no expected environmental impacts associated with this project as it is within an existing freight mobility corridor; it should not have any negative impacts for people, cultural resources or the environment. One of the key Density and Design Principles of CIM, to: "Connect people and places through a complete street network that invites walking and bicycling and provides convenient access to bus or rail" will be realized by the construction of a rail with trail. Not only will people and places be connected, but they will be connected by a multi -modal trail where walking and biking are the dominant mode.. Further, as the bus system is expanded and the rail line is used for mass transit, the pathway will provide convenient access to bus and transit stops. In Chapter 6 of CIM, health is recognized as an issue for the region. This project may help with the overall health of residents as it will provide a facility for potential motorists to leave their car at home and instead use human power to commute as well as recreate. This project is not about Meridian acting alone to build a pathway, but rather about multiple communities working together toward solving regional transportation demand issues identified in CIM. Are there expected environmental impacts associated with this project? If so, what? No, none. Is there support for this project? (in the Boise Urbanized Area, please attach letters from supporting agencies or organizations. *Areas outside the Boise Urbanized Area, list agencies or organizations that support theproject.) See attached. Is the project specifically included in plan? If so, which one(s)? Yes, the City of Meridian Pathways Master Plan and the City's Comprehensive Plan. How does the project benefit the existing transportation system? This project will benefit the existing transportation system. by providing an alternative route and mode for commuters. It will provide a better balance of modes, addresses the needs of pedestrians, cyclists, motorists and rail/freight traffic to create a safe arterial crossing for the rail with trail pathway. `Projects in areas outside the Boise Urbanized Area will also be required to prepare a full application through ITD.
