Subject: Opposition to Proposed In-N-Out Near Bainbridge Community Dear Meridian City Planning Commission/City Council Members: I am writing to formally express my opposition to the proposed In-N-Out Burger development near the Bainbridge community. While I recognize the economic opportunities such developments may bring, the proposed location raises significant concerns that directly impact the safety, well-being, and quality of life for local residents. Key concerns include: 1. Increased Traffic Congestion In-N-Out locations are known to attract heavy drive-thru and dine-in traffic, especially during peak hours. The surrounding roads are not equipped to handle this volume without impacting emergency response times, school traffic, and daily commutes. 2. Noise Pollution Extended operating hours, drive-thru intercoms, idling cars, and late-night customers will contribute to elevated noise levels — disrupting the peace of a largely residential neighborhood. 3. Community Safety Increased vehicle flow and foot traffic can pose safety risks, particularly to children, cyclists, and pedestrians in the area. Late-night operations also heighten concerns over loitering and security. The Bainbridge community is a family-oriented, residential neighborhood. A high-traffic fast food establishment is not compatible with the existing character or infrastructure of the area. I urge you to reconsider the location of this project and prioritize the voices of residents who live, work, and raise families here. Sincerely, Lisa Cuff 5908 N Colosseum Ave 1 Meridian, ID 83636 909-573-6610 BainBridge Community Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS 2
