To whom it may concern,
With so many other sensible choices in Meridian for In-N-Out to open their new store, it seems utterly
foolish for them to want to locate at Ten Mile and W. Lost Rapids Drive. Ten Mile and I84 provide a
plethora of opportunities to build in a location geared for heavier traffic.
I live in Bainbridge and we have endured continual development in and around our subdivision. Most of
the development has been done in a fairly decent manner although still resulting in increased
traffic. There are red light runners who are too impatient to stop and wait for the next light change
causing dangerous driving conditions because of the horrendous amount of traffic already in this
neighborhood.
We have neighborhood parks, three school bus stops and a good amount of foot and bike traffic on or
near W. Lost Rapids Drive. More traffic flow, especially made up of people who are fired up to go to In-N-
Out is dangerous and will likely create difficult driving, walking and bike riding conditions.
The Costco parking lot is a logjam of cars and trucks and people everyday. We do not need additional
gridlock in this area.
Please thoughtfully consider if this was your neighborhood how you likely would feel about allowing a
congestion making business to build in your area.
Respectfully,

Maryann,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your thoughts about the proposed project. Your email has been received by
the Mayor’s Office. Because this project is part of an open application, the Mayor and City Council members are
prohibited from commenting outside of the public hearing process. That said, 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 project public record. 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. This project’s City Council public hearing is currently scheduled for Sept 9. Additionally, we invite you
to check the City’s website, meridiancity.org for any upcoming public hearing notices and additional information
regarding the development. I have also copied the Planning Department if you have additional questions on
hearings, or should that date change.
Sincerely,
Dave Miles | Chief of Staff
City of Meridian | Mayor’s Office
