COLORADO From Wayne S. Smyth. County Engineer
Subject: Petition to Post 35 miles per hour limit on Weld County Road 64
at Poudre City (Farmers Spur)
The petitioners request that Weld County Road 64 be posted at 35 miles per
hour due to:
1. Residential Development
2. High Volume of Traffic
3. SchoolChildren Crossing Road
The traffic was counted at 597 ADT.
The school district also strongly supports this action (see attached letter) .
Due to the relatively high population density, the railroad crossing, live-
stock feeding and dairy operation, as well as the school consideration, it
is recom�>3rjded that the petition be granted.

RE: Requested Speed Limit Through Poudre City (Farmers' Spur)
Dear Commissioners :
The purpose of this letter is to voice support from Weld County
School District RE-2 for the speed limit which is being requested
by the residents of Poudre City for the following reasons:
1 . We are currently picking up 11 children on the school bus in
this area and have had problems in the past with cars not
stopping for the bus while children are loading and unloading.
Part of the problems have been due to the high amount of traffic
from Kodak which use County Road 64.
2. At this point in time, it appears that the School District will
be establishing a central loading and unloading zone for the
children which are being picked up in Poudre City. This will
probably be taking affect when school starts back in the fall
of this year. At that time, the School District will have to
come before the Board requesting a lower speed limit if nothing
is done at this time.
Respectfully,
Robert C. Adams, President
