132 Declaration of Redevelopment Area
RESOLUTION NO. 132
Declaration of Redevelopment Area meeting the Slum and Blight
criteria of the State of Idaho and of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, as amended.
The City of Meridian contains a de:Einable geographic area
known commonly as the East First Street Corridor which extends from
Franklin Road on the South to Fairview Avenue on the North and
contains fronting properties on each side of East First Street.
The East First Street Corridor contains a substantial amount
of deteriorated and dilapidated sidewalks, curbs, gutters and
asphalt roadway sections. About 55 percent of the corridor does
not have sidewalks and existing sidewalks are broken and cobbled.
Vehicle parking facilities are limited and substandard. The East
First Stl~eet Corridor does not meet local, state, or federal
roadway safety standards and there are no useable handicapped
facilities in the corridor.
The East First Street Corridor is limiting the sound growth
of Meridian. The lack of safe pedestrian, handicapped, and traffic
facilities is both an economic and social liability to the
community. The condition of the East First Street Corridor is a
menace to public health and safety.
Consistent with "the community's goals and objectives, as
expressed by the public at numerous public hearings, the City of
Meridian is applying for Idaho Community Development Block Grant
funds to remove the slum and blight conditions in the East First
Street Corridor.
PASSED by the City Council and Approved by the President of
the Council of the City of Meridian this 6th day of March, 1990.
