Idaho Avenue aua 2 9 ~aaa Meridian, ID 83642 City of Meridian RE: The CourtyardslPine Streetlfen Mile Road City Clerk Office Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council, us At the Meridian Council meeting on August 12"', concerned residents testified about traffic in the area of Pine and Ten Mile, in assoaation with the proposed preliminary plat far The Courtyards. The Council requested that the neighbors have the opportunity to speak to the ACRD Commission about their traffic concerns. On August 13'h, the developer contacted ACHD to arrange a meeting with District staff to discuss possible improvements to the area, and also requested a meeting date with the Commission, as directed by the Council. The application for The Courtyards was approved by ACHD in May and therefore the item could not be re- heard, or additional requirements added. The ACHD Commission listened to the public concerns during "Public Communications" at their meeting on August 27"'. Two residents testified with traffic concerns, two residents e-mailed concerns, and two residents discussed their concerns over the phone with staff. The ACHD Commission directed staff to send a letter to the Council, informing you of the discussion. The applicant notified the Commission that they are proposing to construct the following (in addition to the ACHD requirements): • Construct an additional lane on Pine Street at the intersection of Ten Mile, This additional lane will allow one turn lane for left fuming movements, and another lame for straighUright movements. The improvement should decrease the cut through traffic through the Thunderoreek Subdivision because the intersection will operate more efficiently with fewer cars stacked east on Pine Street. • Construct an additional lane on the north leg of Ten Mile Road at the intersection of Pine Street. This additional lane will allow one turn lane for left fuming movements, and another lane forstraight/right movements. • Construct sidewalk on the east side of Ten Mile Road up to the Pine Street intersection, abutting the church site. The applicant is working with the church owners to provide a continuous sidewalk from Pine Street to the north. While ACHD is not requiring these improvements, the District supports the applicant's proposal and finds that these improvements will help alleviate the back up that occurs near the intersection. Under the current conditions, and under build-out conditions of this development, a signal is not warranted. The intersection of Ten Mile Road and Pine Street is in the Five Year Work Program for widening, and for signalization. ACHD is working with the Thunderoreek residents to review their concerns regarding existing cut-through traffic and speeds in the neighborhood, and is currently taking traffic counts and conducting speed studies. Bruce Mills, Right-of-Way & Development Services Manager, will be available at Tuesday's Council meeting if you have further questions.

This was on our agenda this past week under "public communications" because we had previously acted on the application. Here is the memo that I was directed to send out. Can you please get this to the Council? I believe it's on the Tuesday agenda. Thanks!
