Subject:Three Corners Access
Dear Meridian City Council,
I write to you concerning the proposed access road through the Three Corners neighborhood. I live on E. Three Corners
which will be the main street in the neighborhood that will have heavily increased traffic if the Eagle Rd. to Locust Grove
connection is made. At the entrance to the neighborhood from Locust Grove there is a blind corner that has already
presented challenges to the safety of the kids in the neighborhood. I personally have four young boys aged 2-9 that live
on this busy street. If the Eagle Rd. to Locust Grove option is implemented, the danger to the neighborhoods children
would increase exponentially. I have observed the frustration of drivers on Chinden even to the point of cutting their
commute down by driving through the dirt lot on the Southeast corner of Locust Grove and Chinden. If there were
access from Eagle Road to Locust Grove through the neighborhood, considering the current debacle that is Chinden, I
can’t imagine the number of cars that would use this new route in order to avoid Chinden. I believe that the alternative
proposal to only connect Shandee (the Fuller Ranchettes) to Three Corners is the least intrusive option. I believe strongly
that opening a corridor from Eagle Rd. to Locust Grove through Three Corners neighborhood would profoundly increase
the chances of a calamitous danger to the children of the neighborhood as well as the children of The Ambrose School.
Thank you for considering this earnest plea,
Joe Gerber
