SubfeCt: Speed Limits on Sandy Knolls Boulevard, Kersey
A request has been received from residents of Sandy Knolls Boulevard west
of Kersey asking for a posted 15-25 mile per hour speed limit on this road.
Sandy Knolls Boulevard exits west off of Weld County Road 53 on the south
side of Kersey just south of Weld County Road 54$. It goes approximately
one half mile to the west and dead ends. There are homes on either side
all the way down to the end.
I do not believe we can justify such a low speed limit. I would recommend
that the Board approve a 35 mile per hour speed limit on this road, as
adequate to control the traffic, as well as address the question of public
safety.
It is requested that this be placed on the agenda as soon as possible with
a resolution for 35 mile per hour speed limit.

Dear Commissioner:
As residents living on Sandy Knolls Blvd . in Kersey, we
wish to request a posted 15-25 mph speed limit on Sandy Knolls.
Because the street is entirely residential with a dead end ,
the advisability of present higher speed traffic is questionable.
Sincerely,
c:: ,!o.h.,)
