Boise’s approach to turkey troubles and rat reproach
BOISE — An ordinance passed by Boise City Council in October is serving as the city’s first step in tackling amassing complaints surrounding local pests. For the capital city, the focus has narrowed in on turkeys in northern Boise and invasive rats. The two animals are an unlikely pairing but have presented residents with similar challenges. “Both are sort of infiltrating Boise as pests, right?” Boise City Council Policy Advisor Emily Allen said. “So it was maybe, I don't want to say luck, but a useful coincidence that by addressing some of these nuisance provisions, we were actually addressing two different types of pests.” A native population of turkeys has been wreaking havoc in the hills. Despite being from the area, the turkeys have become more prominent in neighborhoods and sometimes aggressive. Meanwhile, Idaho’s rat infestation has become a concern for all municipalities across the Treasure Valley. Rat populations are notoriously difficult to control. The common factor between both critters: food. “When we were looking at language in the ordinance, it really honestly had a lot of overlap in terms of what Idaho Fish and Game had told us was something we could address related to turkeys, as well as

A new development could reshape northwest Meridian. Neighbors aren't happy
On the corner of State Highway 16 and Chinden Boulevard sit roughly 50 acres of vacant agricultural land. The plot, in unincorporated Ada County, could soon become the site of a manufacturing facility — but first, it has to get through the concerns of both neighbors and Meridian planning and zoning commissioners. Those officials, citing concerns about density and traffic, have recommended that Meridian City Council deny the project. Council members are set to make a decision tonight. The project, called the Singing Woods Subdivision, would bring about 60 residential lots, one commercial lot and nine common lots — areas within a subdivision designated for shared use. A manufacturing company called Franklin Sensors wants the space to expand its operations, founder David Dorrough told the Idaho Statesman. “We’re growing, and we’re out of space” in the company’s current facility north of Chinden Boulevard, Dorrough said in a phone interview. Meridian planning and zoning officials say building a manufacturing plant in that location will increase traffic along Prescott Ridge, a neighborhood just east of the development. In October, they recommended that Meridian City Council reject the project. Neighbors, too, have been up in arms over the project. The possibility of cut-through
