Old Business Items
2. Lost Rapids Citizen Requests- M. Carson
Ms. Carson began with a recap of the original request (for additional speed limit signs and an
additional crosswalk) and the discussion from the previous month. Cpl. Goodspeed then spoke
about the findings of the MPD speed trailer and additional enforcement during October. There
was some discussion about the readings from the speed trailer and clarification on the data on
ACHD’s speed study. Both studies showed the area does meet the speed criteria for traffic
calming measures. There was discussion on whether the Commission needed to make a formal
request that ACHD to follow up with the neighbors regarding their desire for mechanical traffic
calming. Shawn Martin indicated that was not necessary as it was the next step in the process.
ACHD will do a neighborhood survey to see if they want to move forward with traffic calming.
Some discussion was had about adding additional parking at Keith Bird Park with Caleb Hood.
Commissioner Lancaster motioned that the Transportation Commission requests ACHD do a
crosswalk evaluation at San Vito/Lost Rapids. The motion was 2nd, by Commissioner Ballard. All
Ayes- Motioned passed.
3. Transportation Projects Update M. Carson
Ms. Carson began with pg. 17, Ten Mile Rd to Victory to Overland roundabout is almost to
completion. On Pg. 18, Locust Grove to Victory to Overland ACHD issued notice to proceed
in November 2022. On Pg. 19 Lake Hazel Rd, Eagle to Cloverdale, there is a community feedback
survey open on the project webpage provided. There is some progress happening in the
3
Item 1.
FY21Residential Capital Maintenance project; one section has moved to be complete. The
Hollandale/Targee bikeway study was presented to the commission, and now its for proposed
adoption in Winter of 2022. Lastly, on Pg. 20 Valley Regional Transit Route 45 now goes through
Meridian, down Fairview, to State street to CWI. Miranda stood for questions; there were none.
New Business Items
4. Meridian Police Department Update- Clp Goodspeed
Clp. Goodspeed reported that there were 180 reportable crashes year to date. Most of the
traffic team’s time is spent responding to crashes around the Valley. A question was proposed
about the fatality on the corner of Ten Mile and Pine Ave regarding what direction the
pedestrian was going. Cpl Goodspeed confirmed that they were going from West to East,
toward the Meridian High School. There was no indication that the light, etc. were not working
properly at that intersection. No further discussion.
5. City Project Prioritization Primer- M. Carson
M. Carson explained that every year ACHD sends out a letter to partner agencies (like school
districts, different cities, and the county) to request any transportation projects via a priority
list form. ACHD does a ranking of how their budget will be programmed, and the priority list
weighs in on those decisions. This prioritization will include past requests the City has made
and new requests. December’s meeting will be focused on the priority of that list. Some further
discussion
6. Staff Communications- M. Carson
M. Carson shared information on COMPASS public communication efforts in regards to both
the Communities in Motion (CIM) 2050 and CIM 2040 amendments. There was also an
complaint by a resident of business patrons parking in front of residential community mailboxes.
The complaint was addressed by staff, and the Commission was informed of the outcome.

MEMO TO CITY COUNCIL AND
TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
From: Miranda Carson, Coordination Planner Meeting Date: December 5, 2022
Topic: Transportation Projects Update
Below is a summary/update on some of the transportation and roadway projects City Staff has
been involved with recently. This is not an exhaustive list, but rather highlights some of the more
important activities that have recently transpired (or are about to occur) in the transportation
realm. Staff will be at the Transportation Commission meeting to discuss some of these topics
in more detail. Please feel free to contact staff should you have any comments, concerns, or
questions on any of these projects. New information is in bold.

City Staff Contact: Miranda Carson, Community Development
Eagle Road Signal Improvements: The traffic signal controllers were replaced in March 2022.
ACHD ran into some additional issues with the traffic signal controller software and the new
software system that analyzes the data from the traffic signal controllers. Most of the issues
have been resolved, and ACHD’s consultant will soon begin utilizing that data to assist ACHD in
developing and implementing timing and operational changes. Work is anticipated to be ongoing
the remainder of this year.
ACHD CAPITAL MAINTENANCE
Residential Capital Maintenance includes conducting field reconnaissance and collecting survey
data to determine an improvement strategy for deteriorated/non -compliant facilities such as:
pavement, drainage, pipes, sidewalks, ramps. ACHD aims for bringing the segments up to
Complete Streets standards where possible. Existing non-compliant pedestrian ramp and
driveway access points located along each roadway segment will be identified to be upgraded
to meet ADA compliance. Reasonable attempts will be made to improve each pedestrian ramp
as directional, not diagonal.
FY2021 Residential Capital Maintenance: Construction ongoing Fall 2022: E 2nd St, State to
Carlton; E 4th, Broadway to State; E State, 2nd to Cathy Ln Irrigation and Sidewalk.
Construction Spring 2023: E 2nd St, Idaho to State; E State, 2nd to Cathy Ln Roadway
Substantially Complete: E 4th, Washington to Janie Ln; E 5th, State to north end; E Bower, 2nd

Item 2.
Eagle Road, Overland to SH- 44 State St: Project includes pavement rehabilitation and
pedestrian ramp improvements. All work will take place at night over two construction seasons.
Construction will be done on Overland to Franklin Fall 2022. Franklin Road to SH-44 State St
will be constructed in 2023.
https://itdprojects.org/projects/eagleroadrepairs/
SH-55 Eagle Road Safety Review: The review scope and timeline continue to be refined by
the project team. An inter-agency team has been assembled to discuss a safety review of Eagle
Road, Chinden to I-84. 2 meetings have been held to date to kick off the project and discuss the
scope of that review.
SH-69, Kuna to Meridian Traffic Study: The project team held Technical Committee Meetings in
May. It is anticipated the City will be provided a briefing by ITD in the Summer 2022 timeframe.
ITD is studying options to improve safety, mobility and access on Idaho 69 between Kuna and
Meridian. There is currently no funding identified in ITD’s seven -year budget for the SH-69
improvements. https://itdprojects.org/projects/id69corridor/
City Staff Contact: Caleb Hood, Community Development
PATHWAYS
South Meridian Neighborhood Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan: Design status 30% review complete.
Design is underway on 3 segment improvements in the plan: Stoddard Road, Victory to
Overland; Locust Grove Rd at Palermo Dr pedestrian crossing; and bridge #1207 at Locust
Grove Rd and Ten Mile creek. Construction is not yet programmed. ACHD and several partners
including the City coordinated to develop a plan to help improve walking and bicycling routes in
South Meridian neighborhoods. https://engage.achdidaho.org/neighborhood-plans
Hollandale/Targee Bikeway Study: The Hollandale Concept Design will be presented to the
Commission with proposed adoption December 7th, 2022. ACHD invited the City to participate
in a concept study for a bikeway that goes from Locust Grove Rd to Entertainment Ave along
local roads. The purpose of the study is mainly to emphasize the bike route as a low-stress
bikeway with signs and pavement markings. Design: 2024; ROW: 2025; Construction: Future.
https://engage.achdidaho.org/hollandale -targee-neighborhood-improvements
Rail with Trail: This project is still a priority for all agencies involved, but has gotten to the point
where the effort needs to come from a broader group of stakeholders that would include higher -
level decisionmakers able to enter into negotiations and identify funding sources.
Nine Mile Creek, Linder to Meridian: The path is proposed to run from Linder to Meridian along
the Nine Mile Creek drain just north of the railroad. The Parks department is poised to complete
a land trade at the end of 2022 to obtain the final access (on 3rd Street) that will make the Rail
with Trail (RWT) segment from 3rd Street to 8th Street possible. That portion will be funded with
Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC) monies (previously awarded, but pushed
out a couple of times). Established schedule to take advantage of that funding is Desi gn in 2023
and Construction in 2024. The Parks and Recreation Department continues to pursue remaining
easements needed west of this project segment, from Linder Road to 8th St. No recent progress
on the parcels between 3rd street and Meridian Road, thou gh they will eventually be a part of
this pathway segment, whether through negotiated easements or future development conditions.
Five Mile Creek Pathway: The Parks Department has contracted with Brighton Corporation to
cost share for the pedestrian po rtion of the vehicular bridge across the Five Mile Creek in the
9
Item 2.
proposed Quartet Subdivision, which has recently broken ground. The City will build a run of
pathway along the south side of the Five Mile Creek from the Quartet Subdivision, to the Nine
Mile Creek, which will culminate in a pedestrian bridge crossing of the Nine Mile Creek and a
connection to the existing McNelis Pathway. Construction plans are currently at 95%, with plans
to bid summer of 2022. ACHD owns a property along the proposed pathwa y route and will
dedicate an easement for pathway. The City will share construction plans with ACHD, who will
either construct the pathway segment on the ACHD property or reimburse the city for its
construction as part of the larger City project.
OTHER PROJECTS
Valley Regional Transit: Route 45 Boise State to CWI had a major service change beginning in
October. Route 45 is now via Fairview and includes stops in Meridian. Previously this route did
not service Meridian. Route 30 Pine from the Ten Mile Interchange area through downtown to
The Village launched in October 3rd, 2022.

MEMO TO TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
Agenda Topic on the Transportation Commission Agenda
From: Miranda Carson Meeting Date: December 5, 2022
Topic: Celebration Development Requests
Council would like the Transportation Commission to discuss the potential to reduce the speed limit
on Celebration Avenue, which is a loop road with Millennium and Cinema across from Mountain
View High School, and put in a cross-walk at/near the southern entrance at Sonic/Celebration
(circled in red dash below). There are cross-parking agreements in this area between the businesses
and even more foot traffic coming that they think justify this request.
A representative of the business may be available at the meeting to answer questions.

Item 4.
MEMO TO TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
Agenda Topic on the Transportation Commission Agenda
From: Miranda Carson, Coordination Planner Meeting Date: December 5, 2022
Topic: Staff Communications
Below are summaries of relevant correspondences received by City Staff since the last TC meeting.
Lost Rapids Traffic Calming and Crosswalk Evaluation
At the November Transportation Commission (TC) Meeting the TC requested a crosswalk
evaluation; Shawn Martin has confirmed that the crosswalk evaluation will happen in the spring
when there is better weather. It was also discussed that TC did not need to request neighborhood
outreach for traffic calming as that was the next step in ACHD’s process. ACHD recently corrected
their stance; in order to circulate a petition for those traffic calming measures they do need a request
from a resident. I inquired if the initial request for additional signage or if City staff requesting the
petition was sufficient, but ACHD staff did not feel it was. I followed up with Mr. Maclean (the
original inquirer) with this information and the contact information for ACHD to make a request
directly if he wished. I also asked that he let me know if he made the request or needed any further
assistance.
COMPASS Public Comments Received
Below are the public comments received during the October 15 – November 8, 2022 COMPASS
public comment period on the Amendment to the regional long-range transportation plan,
Communities in Motion (CIM), and the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
Please consider building grade separated intersections on Eagle Rd and major east -west
streets, Franklin, Fairview, Ustic, and Chinden
Let's get small rail service going between Caldwell, Nampa, Meridian and Boise, before the
land is gone. Coming from Salt Lake & Utah County where we were able to ride light rail to
SL Bee's Baseball, Utah Utes Football, Utah Jazz basketball games and many concerts where
they attack anywhere from 10,000 to 50,000 spectators. It was great to get in short line to
get on the train not too far from our home to our destination and ride it back avoiding all the
traffic. Thanks again for what you are trying to do.
I am commenting on the proposed amendment.
1. Regarding the addition of an interchange modification report to investigate a future
southern connection at the Interstate 84 and future State Highway 16 interchange: There is
a great need for another route to connect NE Nampa and NW Meridian to Highway 16. As the
population in Emmett and surrounding communities grows, having a safe route for
commuters is essential.
12
Item 5.
2. Add a roadway widening project on Franklin Road in Nampa: We definitely need to widen
Franklin Road in Nampa. This Road is used as a major way to get from NE Nampa to Meridian.
The traffic becomes very congested during commute times. All the stop signs and stop lights
make the commute miserable. If the Road were widened and Round-a-bouts installed, it
would help the flow of traffic.
Since the Population Explosion in Nampa, Meridian, Kuna and Boise, our transportation
Department really must find ways to help move all the additional traffic in a safe, expeditious
way. Slow, congested traffic can cause drivers to be impatient and increase t he number of
accidents, both for vehicles and for pedestrians/bike riders. Developers in these new
housing areas should be responsible for the cost to improve our Regional Transportation.
And homebuyers in these new communities need to share some of the responsibility also.
Long time residents should not be taxed for the needs caused by the influx of population.
Black Cat at Gondola Crosswalk Progress
I met with West Ada’s design consultant this week on another transportation topic, and Black
Cat/Gondola crosswalk was discussed briefly. He told me the design is complete and still at ACHD
in the review process. They are moving up ACHD’s queue, but still waiting to get the review
complete. I have reached out to ACHD to clarify how long that process will take and if there is any
action to expedite the request. I have also asked the school district to share when they have a
construction start date.
Top Golf Lights
City administration and staff has been made aware of concerns regarding lights at the new Tog
Golf development adjacent to I-84. The City is working with ITD and Top Golf to come to a
resolution on the issue.

Item 5.
MEMO TO TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
Agenda Topic on the Transportation Commission Agenda
From: Miranda Carson Meeting Date: December 5, 2022
Topic: IFYWP City Project Prioritization
Annually, the City prepares and prioritizes a list of transportation projects within our community
for the transportation agencies to consider in their programming and budget processes. The
Meridian Transportation Commission (TC) is tasked with making recommendations to the City
Council on these priority transportation projects. The intent of this memo is to share the timeline
and start the discussion of this process.
We will review the process and ACHD’s prioritization methodology. The metrics ACHD uses for
scoring projects are below:
14
Item 6.
The Partner Agency Support metric is based on the prioritizati on of requests that Council will
approve for submittal to ACHD in February. TC is tasked with working through a list of City
transportation projects (including adding projects as needed) and recommending a priority order
to Council by early-January.
New this year, ACHD will have the public comment period open November-January. Those mapped
comments can be found here as they are submitted: https://engage.achdidaho.org/integrated-five-
year-work-plan-ifywp/maps/commenting-map-integrated-five-year-work-plan
The full ACHD project webpage is here: https://engage.achdidaho.org/integrated-five-year-work-
plan-ifywp?tool=map#tool_tab
The TC Prioritization Subcommittee met November 28th to begin the process. They reviewed and
arranged the unprogrammed Roads and Intersections projects by priority. That list is attached. I
have also included notes and highlighted projects Parks flagged as needs for your review.
The goal for this meeting will be to get the recommended Roads and Intersections prioritization to
substantial competition. The recommendation will be finalized at the January meeting and the
Community Programs list will be completed at that time as well.

Item 6.
There are points assigned to the top 10 highest ranked, unprogrammed requests. I will explain this
further at the meeting. Below is the point scale for unprogrammed requests.
