RE: REGULATING, WARNING AND GUIDING TRAFFIC DURING THE TEMPORARY
CLOSURE OF COUNTY ROAD 19 BETWEEN COUNTY ROADS 20 AND 22 FOR TEN
DAYS, FOR CULVERT REPLACEMENTS
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, pursuant to
Colorado statute and the Weld County Home Rule Charter, is vested with the authority of
administering the affairs of Weld County, Colorado, and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 42-4-106(6)(a), C.R.S.:
"...local authorities, with their respective jurisdiction may, for the
purpose of road construction and maintenance, temporarily close to
through traffic or to all vehicular traffic any highway or portion thereof
for a period not to exceed a specified number of work days for project
completion and shall, in conjunction with any such road closure
establish appropriate detours or provide for an alternative routing of
the traffic affected...", and
WHEREAS, a hearing was conducted on October 7, 2009, at which time the Board deemed
it advisable to continue said request to October 12, 2009, to allow adequate time for staff to
investigate whether it is critical for the project to commence on the requested date, or whether a
later date will provide an adequate amount of time to complete the project, in an effort to avoid
unnecessary interference with the harvesting season, and
WHEREAS, after review, the Board, pursuant to said statute and upon the basis of traffic
and personal investigations, has determined that conditions exist which make it necessary to
temporarily close to through traffic and to regulate, warn and guide vehicular traffic on said County
roads by posting signs thereon, and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of County Commissioners of Weld
County, Colorado, deems it necessary to regulate, warn and guide vehicular traffic on County roads
and any intersections thereof, and it hereby authorizes and orders the posting of such traffic control
devices as shall be reasonably necessary to regulate, warn and/or guide traffic thereon for the
safety of the general public and that said traffic control devices shall conform to the Federal Manual
on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County,
Colorado, does declare and establish that County Road 19, between County Roads 20 and 22, be
temporarily closed, with said closure being effective October 12, 2009, for approximately ten days
for culvert replacements, and further, that standard official traffic control devices shall be erected at
said closure giving notice of the restrictions.
