Several agency representatives gave brief updates to the Meridian Transportation Commission covering state, regional and district projects.

Idaho Transportation Department representative reported the Eagle Road project will begin work in the spring and will include removal of some unsignalized left‑turn movements and installation of variable speed limits; ITD staff said communication, signage and software for the variable limits are being worked through now and additional project details will be provided at a future meeting.

Compass (regional planning/transportation) staff said it is finalizing a Safe Streets and Roads for All safety action plan and will present a final plan to its board of directors in February. Compass said it received a federal competitive grant to support the plan and has developed a web map showing a high‑injury network built from five years of crash data; the plan also includes a proposed competitive grant opportunity for Meridian on Overland Road between Eagle and State Highway 69.

Ada County Highway District reported progress on Ustick (10 Mile to Black Cat) and reiterated that the Lindner Road concept (Pine to Ustick) has been approved in concept; ACHD cautioned design, right‑of‑way acquisition and construction remain future work and that the Lindner project will be multiyear and likely require property purchases.

Valley Regional Transit and the local school or transit representatives said they are standardizing ridership reporting and moving toward simplifying state reports; one agency said ridership tends to increase in spring when fall sports end.

No formal actions were taken on these updates; agencies said they will return with more detailed project materials at future meetings.
