The Upper Front Range Transportation Planning Region has no objection to the Towns requests.

We have confirmed with the Colorado Department of Transportation that there are no projects in the 2030 UFR constrained plan within the proposed boundary changes that will be funded in the foreseeable future. Also, because both the UFR and NFR are in the process of performing 2035 transportation plan updates, there will be no conflicts in projects due to boundary changes. • If you have any questions, please contact Drew Scheltinga,Weld County Engineer, at 970-304-6497, extension 3750.

Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 Dear Mr. Masden: The Town of Eaton has passed a resolution asking to join the North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization(MPO). The Town therefore needs to withdraw from the Upper Front Range Transportation Planning Region(UFRTPR), and this letter serves as the Town's request to make that change. We would appreciate receiving confirmation from you that this action has the concurrence of the UFR. I have enclosed a map that shows the boundaries of the proposed addition to the MPO geography which, as required by Federal guidelines, includes the area expected to be urbanized within the next 20 years. I recognize that the Town has a project(H1-1)in the UFR fiscally constrained Plan,but its low ranking means that it will not be funded through that Plan in the foreseeable future. Furthermore,the Town is already working with CDOT to construct the project. Please let me know if you have any questions about this request. Sincerely, K2t Gary A.
