During a recent government meeting, significant discussions centered around traffic management and development plans in the area surrounding Black Cat and Chinden. Concerns were raised regarding the current level of service rating of \"F\" from the Ada County Highway District (ACHD), indicating that the intersection is operating below acceptable thresholds, particularly during peak hours.

Mister Bailey addressed these concerns, clarifying that while the roads are deemed capable of handling traffic, the ACHD report highlights operational issues at the intersection of Black Cat and McMillan. He assured that no additional traffic would be added to Black Cat until a planned roundabout is constructed in 2028, which aims to alleviate congestion.

The meeting also touched on development plans for a site that includes a proposed plaza and multifamily housing. The developers expressed their commitment to making necessary improvements to mitigate traffic impacts, particularly concerning left turns onto Black Cat. They are exploring various commercial options for the site, including potential partnerships with neighboring property owners to expand the development.

Additionally, discussions included the placement of community amenities such as a clubhouse and pool. The developers proposed a central location for these facilities, which they believe would enhance accessibility for residents. However, they indicated flexibility in response to feedback from the school district regarding the proximity of these amenities to a future middle school.

Overall, the meeting highlighted ongoing efforts to balance development with community needs and traffic management, with a focus on ensuring that infrastructure improvements keep pace with growth in the area.
