Subject:RE: ‘VOTE NO to In-N-Out’
Christine,
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:
Please vote NO! and do not allow In-N-Out to build at Lost Rapids and
Ten-Mile Rd. This area is very congested already. I’ve nearly been in
several accidents due to drivers not paying attention already. And
there are many other places to place no impact on residential areas
1
like ours in Bainbridge and with better traffic flow.
The Costco complex can barely handle current traffic with several
fast-food establishments already there. Plus, the parking lot is very
busy all week long and even more so on weekends.
The ACHD Traffic Study from 2017 is so outdated it shouldn’t even be
considered and couldn’t have counted on the increased traffic flow
even in these past few years. Was either Ten-Mile or Chinden even a
four lane at that time? Traffic is already backed up in many areas on
Ten-Mile and it is getting dicey for my 80+ year old mother to even
cross the streets even with traffic lights.
In-N-Out’s traffic study was not even over the busy timeframes for
this shopping area. They used a four-day period in December with
little to no foot traffic and reduced auto traffic that is near
constant the rest of the year.
Again, please vote no. Thank you.
Very Respectfully,
Christine Bogart
