Mayor Tammy de Weerd
Meridian City Hall
33 E Broadway Avenue
Meridian, ID 83642
Dear Ms. de Weerd,
I read Ken Corder's solicitation for a Transportation Commission member today and feel I would be a
great fit. My family uses all modes of transportation — motor vehicles, bicycles, and on foot. I'm an avid
cyclist and participate in many casual and competitive local events.
I'm a senior consultant at Aetna, where I've worked for 16 years. My resume is attached.
I'm the president of my homeowners' association and have successfully guided my community through
a difficult period. Under my guidance, our community has transitioned from one of angst and
inauspiciousness to having transparency, two-way dialogue, community -driven resolutions, and greater
community involvement.
Meridian's rapid growth necessitates shrewd stewardship within the Transportation Committee. Today's
successful cities are embracing multiple forms of transportation as a holistic approach to a thriving
community. As I'm sure you're aware, motor vehicle congestion in Meridian is a real issue that has the
capacity to stymie growth and prosperity. Meridian also lacks the robust cycling infrastructure that
exceptional cities provide. I'd like to see Meridian be a leader and set the bar for other communities in
regards to multi -modal transportation.
I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you regarding this volunteer position.
Thank you very much for considering my request. I look forward to talking to you.
Sincerely,
4j
Bryan Leisle
