Dear City Council and Mayor's Office,
I’m a Meridian resident writing to strongly oppose the proposed In-N-Out at Ten Mile and Lost Rapids.
This corner is already overwhelmed with traffic from the Costco development. Adding a high-volume
drive thru one that draws over a million visitors a year is going to push this area past its breaking point.
This isn’t just a traffic issue, it’s a safety issue. Two city parks and several school bus stops are within a
stone’s throw of that intersection. It’s not the right place.
This would also be the 11th drive-thru in that development. That’s not what was envisioned for this part
of the city, and it’s definitely not what residents want. Our Bainbridge community survey showed 80%
were against it, and public comments from surrounding neighborhoods were nearly unanimous in
opposition.
Even with limited hours and delivery restrictions, the real issue remains: this is the wrong location.
Please listen to your constituents and vote no.
Sincerely,
Jason Mcknight

Good morning Jason,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your thoughts about the proposed project. Your email has been received by
our office. As you may be aware, the City does not determine which food service or business locates at a property,
the City regulates the land use of various properties while businesses decide to locate at given sites or areas
based on market conditions.
Because this project is part of an open application, the Mayor and City Council members are prohibited from
commenting outside of the public hearing. We take public feedback seriously and want you to know that we have
received your email and have read your comments.
Your email has been forwarded to our City Clerk and will be included in the public record. We invite you to check
the City’s website, meridiancity.org for any upcoming public hearing notices and additional information regarding
the development.
Thank you,
Josha Iverson| Executive Assistant
City of Meridian | Mayor’s Office
