Meridian City Council Members,
I am writing to express my disapproval of the apartments going in behind
Walmart. I do not believe that this development is a positive thing
for the area around Bridgetower West. As mentioned before, it will add a large
amount of traffic on McMillan that is already such a busy street,
that it is hard to get across. The development at Blackcat and McMillan called
James Ranch is going to put a very large amount of traffic on McMillan
itself. There are already two high density projects in the area. One near the
COSTCO store on State Highway and another on Blackcat and Gondola.
If this project is approved, Gondola, a street that goes through the middle of
Bridgetower West, and right by Pleasent View Elementary will have a
high density apartment project on both ends of it. We walk this street quite often
and notice that the traffic through there travels in excess of the speed limit
already. With both these projects in place it will make Gondola traffic excessive
and dangerous next to Pleasent View elementary school.
This project will also increase the student population of Pleasent View. Making it
"Not to Pleasent" for the staff there. I have seen it before where portable
modular units have to be brought in to handle increased student population. It's
not a good thing.
I believe that the Planning and Zoning committee realized all these issues and
more when they denied the application of this project. I hope that all the City
Council
members will respect their decision when voting on this project. Afterall, they are
the planners for our city. I think they made the right decision.
