City Council Members,
I am writing to voice my opposition to approving the In N Out location on Ten Mile and Lost
Rapids. This is the street my family uses to enter into our neighborhood. I am greatly
disappointed that In N Out has chosen this location for its next store.
I have issues with the noise, light, and traffic disturbance this location will bring to our
residential neighborhood. I looked at the customer flow information that In N Out provided,
and I find it greatly flawed. It compared our neighborhood to 10 California based locations
none of which are in residential neighborhoods. I have visited a few of these California
locations, and can attest to noise, light, and traffic pollution all night long. In those area, In N
Out blends in, but that will not be the case for our neighborhood entrance which is only busy
during Costco business hours. I couldn’t imagine In N Out being a welcome site at 12am!
I am also greatly disappointed in the traffic study In N Out provided as it only considered the
traffic off Ten Mile/Lost Rapids, and did not consider how In n Out’s traffic would compound
the current traffic from Chinden/Ten Mile. Not to mention, In N Out only looked at the traffic
on 3 days in December. This shows they are out of touch with the area because if you lived
here you would know 8 months out the year there is event traffic from Heros and Keith Bird
Park. As well as, more housing being developed with a new subdivision in the works with 270
homes. This is not a place for 2am burgers.
For all these reasons, I am urging you to please deny In N Out from opening their next
location on Ten Mile/Lost Rapids. This is a neighborhood not a mall.
Thank you for your time,
Roisin O’Neill
