City of Meridian - Transportation Commission - 06/01/2026

The City of Meridian Transportation Commission held a meeting on June 1, 2026, focusing on transportation project updates, public outreach results, and policy discussions related to traffic control measures. Key procurement-related discussions included updates on the Ada County Highway District (ACHD) Master Street Map amendments and prioritization of Meridian's top transportation projects for the five-year plan. A significant motion was passed directing ACHD to discontinue the practice of installing stop signs and speed humps in neighborhoods adjacent to arterial projects, citing concerns about cost, legality under the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), and potential conflicts with past ACHD guidance. The commission agreed to draft a detailed letter to City Council outlining these concerns and the rationale behind the motion. Additional updates were provided on regional transportation improvement programs, budget considerations, and public transit route adjustments, including the suspension of VRT's Route 30 due to low ridership. Future agenda topics were also discussed, including the East Third Street extension and enforcement of an air brake ordinance. The meeting concluded with approval of minutes and adjournment.
