Crafted in early 2010, Destination: Downtown is a Vision Plan for the long-term future of downtown Meridian.
The City of Meridian’s slogan,“Built for Business – Designed for Living,” embodies the community’s character as a sophisticated, family-friendly city in the heart of the Treasure Valley. The downtown Vision, captured in the Vision Document, reinforces this mind-set and helps to achieve it. Meridian’s downtown will be a pedestrian friendly place with wide and safe sidewalks and street oriented businesses and retail activity. There will be pedestrian amenities and infrastructure that support walking and biking, and several nodal points and attractions within the downtown to encourage pedestrian activity. Downtown will also be a pleasant place to move around, even as more people converge there. Public transit such as commuter rail, bus rapid transit, and more conventional buses will add alternatives for reaching and moving within the area.
