Quick Answer

How does the Ten Mile Road corridor compare to Eagle Road in Meridian?

Eagle Road developed from open land to one of the most commercially dense corridors in the Treasure Valley over roughly two decades. The Ten Mile corridor is following a similar trajectory on an accelerated timeline due to faster population growth, more intentional planning with The District, and the coming Highway 16 connection. Ten Mile today is where Eagle Road was approximately 15 years ago.
