Does this project Yes, ACHD will need to be a partner as the crossings will occur
include other in their right-of-way:. They are not, however, needed as a direct
partners? 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 brief) describe our project:
The City of Meridian is interested In constructing amulti-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 ro'ect 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 iri 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, iri 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/fl-om 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
throe h the "heart" of multi le established nei hborhoods and."oli centers, several
Page 1

- -
of the adjacent arterials should benefit from less congestion. This project should
also help the region get Yo its target average mode split of 5°/p 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 ehvironment. 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 c..onnected, but they will 6e connected by a multi-modal
trail where walking aria 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 carat
home and instead use human power to commute as well as recreate. This project is
not about Meridian acting alone to build a (Iathway, but rather about multiple
communities working together toward salving 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 the rojed.)
See attached.
Is the ro'ect s ecificall included in plan? If so, which ones ?
Yes, the City of Meridian Pathways Master Plan and the City's Comprehensive Plan.
How does the roject benefit the existin trans ortatiori s stem?
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 alsb be required to prepare a full application
through ITD.
