We have lived in Indian Meadows for 25 years and chose it because it is a little bit of country living in the middle of Coeur d’Alene. What other city has that?

In our neighborhood, you will find homes with goats, ponies, chickens and horses. There is very little traffic and there are always people out riding, biking or walking their dogs. The Coeur Terre project is planning on building 4,500 living units that will back up against Indian Meadows plus there will be two schools and businesses. We desperately need housing. The project is not the problem, but we are deeply concerned about the traffic that the developers want to channel through our quiet streets.

There are other options, multiple entrances off Huetter Road seem to me the best way to go, but if they really need entrance off Atlas Road why not use the industrial loop or Hanley Avenue.

We don’t have to destroy the old and unique for the new.
