Hello,
I’m emailing to express my adamant NO to the vote for In and Out at the location off ten mile and
Chinden.
The corner at Lost Rapids & Ten Mile is a uniquely problematic location for the additional traffic load In-N-
Out represents. There’s dozens of lots available in northwest Meridian with better access and zero impact to
residential areas.
The CostCo development area can barely handle the existing traffic flow. We’re concerned about traffic
getting TO and FROM the target site. In-N-Out’s ability to handle cars within their own lot is NOT our
concern.
The safety issues involving 2 very busy City parks and 3 school bus stops within 700 feet cannot be
discounted.
The approval the Adero Park neighborhood with a major intersection at Malta Road will put additional strain
th
on north Ten Mile Road between McMillian and Chinden.In-N-Out would represent the 11 drive thru with on
the CostCo development. The City’s vision for that development was to create retail space with a few drive
thru accessories, not to create “drive thru central” in northwest Meridian.
ACHD’s own study from 2017 did not envision this level of drive thru density and the possibility of In-N-Out—
they had NO Idaho expansion plans in 2017, much less into residential areas.
In-N-Out’s own “traffic study” they provided was conducted over 4 days in December 2024—specifically to
rule out the foot traffic and car traffic that inundate the area during Spring, Summer and Fall.
Thank you,
Misty Zulkoski
