Helen,
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 applica?on, the Mayor and City Council members are prohibited
from commen?ng 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 proper?es while businesses decide to locate at given sites or areas based on market condi?ons. This project’s
City Council public hearing is currently scheduled for Sept 9. Addi?onally, we invite you to check the City’s website,
meridiancity.org for any upcoming public hearing no?ces and addi?onal informa?on regarding the development. I have
also copied the Planning Department if you have addi?onal ques?ons on hearings, or should that date change.
Sincerely,
Dave Miles | Chief of Staff
City of Meridian | Mayor’s Office

Meridian City Leaders:
You must vote NO! and not allow In-N-Out to build at Lost Rapids and
Ten-Mile Rd. As a concerned voter and resident, I am very troubled by
the traffic. I walk to those stores and restaurants near Bainbridge
and am concerned for my safety. I’m an 82-year-old woman and people

already don’t watch. Even at the lights I’ve almost been run over by
drivers whipping out of that area.
There is no way the traffic studies are current with the crazy traffic
out there. How can an 8-year-old traffic study be used to justify the
safety of the children and pedestrians? Sure, In-N-Out can handle it
in their lot, but what about the cars coming and going? They didn’t
even do a proper study themselves!
Please think of our safety. Think of the children and elderly’s safety
and vote NO to In-N-Out at Lost Rapids and Ten-Mile Road.
Sincerely,
