I don’t know what is happening with Meridian. Changing this piece of land to commercial is a disaster waiting to
happen. #1 Locust Grove since the road over the freeway has become a race track. Traffic North bound come off that
bridge going 60 MPH and there are accidents at the light at Bentley all the time. #2 I cant imagine the congestion that
would occur with a business there with traffic going in and out. A lesson learned from the apartments at Franklin and
Locust Grove with people cutting the wrong way across the road and congestion.
Why doesn’t Meridian keep its industrial areas together instead of spreading them on patches of land close to
subdivisions and not recognizing the hazard of access in and out of that proposed business.
I will be at the meeting on Sept 8

Jeannette,
Thank you for your email. As you are referring to a land development application that has been submitted and will likely
be before City Council where I am a tie-breaking vote, I am not able to provide comment on the application or issues
surrounding it outside of the public hearing record. I am copying our City Clerk to this email so that your message and
my response can be included in the record for the application.
Mayor Robert Simison
