Hey there,
Someone just submitted your form on meridiancity.org. Here's what they had to say:

Request for Mayor and Council
Name Larry Bowen and Gale Cates
_replyto imagewest5@gmail.com
Street Address 49 E. State Ave
City Meridian
State Idaho
Zip Code 83642
Subject Costco to develop at Chinden and Ten Mile
Message I understand the feelings of the local neighbors in that area. I have lived in old town
for about 32 years.
I have seen Meridian develop and grow. It is something that can
not be stopped.
No matter if Costco builds there or not, someone else will. I would
rather have Costco develop that area then anybody else. I have confidence in Costco
to do it Right...
Chinden needs to widen any way and if Costco gets approved maybe it will happen
before the city gets around to it. That in it self will make my Commute safer and
better.
As a long time resident of Meridian and local Businessman, I Support the proposed
site and ask the city to approve the plan.

Larry and Gale,
Thank you for reaching out to us with your comments. They will be included in the record and I hope you are
able to make it out to the future public hearing at city council whenever that may be.
Just wanted to touch on something you mentioned about maybe Chinden would be widened after Costco gets
approved before the city gets around to it. Just wanted to clarify that the city has no jurisdiction over roads. We
don’t pay for them, maintain them, build them, anything. Chinden (US 20/26) is owned by Idaho
Transportation Department and my understanding is they are working on a plan to provide for the widening of
Chinden in conjunction with the project. I’m sure we’ll learn more details as the projects makes it’s way
through the city process.
While I’m on that topic, I’m trying to engage as many people as I can on an idea I’m working on. In the past,
the city partnered with the road agencies such as ACHD and ITD to chip in some funding to move a project
along, that is why we have the locust grove overpass today. I’m curious what the public thinks. Would you as
a citizen be ok with the city using your property tax dollars that are assumed to be going to city owned
infrastructure, staff, etc to go to road expansion projects instead? I’d like to see us use a small portion of the
funds we receive to move important road projects up the timeline. What are your thoughts?
Thank you!
