What we heard
What has changed since March 2023?

- Added a longer concrete pedestrian railing and wall along the multi-use path to increase safety along the approaches to the overpass
- Widen buffer between MUP and road from 4-feet to 5-feet
- Increased multi-use pathway width on overpass and approaches
- The City of Meridan plans to landscape the buffer space between the multi-use pathway and the street, as well as center medians
- Construction is now anticipated for 2026/2027
Project Description

Multi-Use Pathways
- Multi-use pathways are two-way facilities meant to accommodate both pedestrians and bicyclists of all ages and abilities.
- They provide more space between motorists and those walking and biking, which increases safety.
- They are often used on roads with higher speeds and traffic volumes.
