Subject:Reject the Bridgetower Multi-Family CUP CR-2022-0006 application

To Whom IT May Concern,
I’m writing today to express my objection to the proposed multi family units adjacent to the
Bridgetower West subdivision. I moved to Bridgetower West to have something of a quiet life
while still being close to the conveniences of living in town. I’ve lived in Meridian for 17 years
and this used to be a lifestyle you could expect in most subdivisions. Not anymore. For some
reason, city planners have been shoving high density housing into every nook and cranny
with no regard for the ability for schools and other public services like streets to handle the
increased capacity. I paid a lot of money to have the quiet life where at least the
subdivision streets weren’t over run with traffic like the rest of the town is. This strategy of
adding more and more people where there is not the infrastructure to support it is making
Meridian a difficult place to live. Please do not approve this high density housing to go in
next to Bridgetower West. The traffic that these units will bring will decrease the quality of life
for those already in place. Traffic will be all over the subdivision due to the Elementary school
and people traveling to different outlets. In addition, McMillan is already overwhelmed with
only having single lanes and no turning lane in certain places. Another consideration that
the City planners need to make is do you want to bring down the values of your higher end
neighborhoods? If so, why?
I recommend that high density housing be limited in Meridian. There is already too much of
this type of housing in Meridian in my opinion.
Thanks,
Andrea
