## Resource

Meridian’s planning commission just approved two big new developments near the Idaho 16 and Ustick Road interchange — a 4-acre commercial hub called McUstick and a 36-acre mixed-use neighborhood named Durango — setting the stage for a traffic surge of up to 110,000 cars daily by 2045. McUstick will feature a 24-hour gas station, coffee kiosk, and other auto-centric services, sparking debate over whether such businesses fit the city’s vision — but developers argue they’re strategically placed to serve drivers funneled through this major new freeway extension. Durango will bring 127 homes and six office buildings for tech and professional services. Both projects now head to City Council for final approval next month, signaling just the start of major transformation along the Idaho 16 corridor.
