Background
The City of Meridian and Meridian Development Corporation (MDC) are working to identify an alignment for a future extension of E. 3rd Street. The alignment identified will extend north to Fairview Avenue, creating an additional north-south route through Downtown Meridian. The need for the roadway extension was first identified in the Downtown Meridian Transportation Management Plan, which was adopted by the City in 2005.
This new connection will provide much needed relief to other north-south roadways in the area while increasing connectivity Downtown.
