To whom it may concern:
The In-N-Out location proposed at the intersection of Ten Mile and Lost Rapids is vehemently opposed by the residents
of the adjoining Banbridge. Bridge Tower West and Cadence communities.
The Bainbridge community alone in a survey last April showed an 80% opposition rate to the approval for
IN-N-OUT.
IN-N-OUT’s purported ‘traffic study’ last December did not capture the true volume of vehicular and
pedestrian traffic that this area sees during the spring, summer and fall seasons.
The recent Adero Park community approval located between McMillan and Chinden would represent the
eleventh drive-through within the area of the Costco center. This is completely counterintuitive to the health
and safety of all kings of traffic in the area.
Three school bus stops and two very busy city parks within a few hundred feet of the proposed IN-N-OUT
should not be discounted.
The CostCo development area can barely handle existing traffic flow. In-N-Out’s ability to handle cars within
their own lot is NOT our primary concern. The concern about traffic getting TO and FROM the target site within
and around contiguous areas.

Good afternoon Mike,
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
