Re: Request to Upgrade Weld County Road (WCR) 48 %z between WCR 17 and State Highway 257
Dear Harold:
I have referred your letter to the Public Works Department and asked that they evaluate WCR 48 '/z as a candidate
for the County's Five Year Roadway Capital Improvement Plan.
A traffic count will be performed within 4-6 weeks to determine whether current vehicle volumes warrant further
assessment of the roadway for upgrades. Typically, traffic volumes must be at least 200 vehicles per day for any
improvements consideration.
If traffic volumes meet the minimum criteria, the Department will consider issues such as safety, relative
cost/benefits, current and projected traffic volumes, system continuity, impacts on utilities and structures, and the
project score for this candidate. The project score will be used to establish a rank to compare WCR 48%z to other
roadway projects being considered for inclusion in the Five Year Roadway Capital Improvement Plan.
The Board of County Commissioner will be reviewing an update of the Capital Improvement Plan in the near future.
Upon completion of the Board's review, we will advise you of the status of WCR 481/2.
If you have further questions, please call Frank Hempen, Jr., P.E., Director of Public Works/County Engineer at
(970)356-4000, Extension 3750.
Sincerely,
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Dear Glenn & Commissioners,
At our regular Johnstown-Milliken Chamber of Commerce
meeting, which was held on Tuesday evening, February 19 ,
2002 , various things were brought up for discussion.
One that was brought up was to see if Weld County Road
48} couldn' t be completely blacktopped from Road 17 to
Highway 257 . This road is partially blacktopped from
Road 17 going east and we would like to see it completed
to Highway 257 because this road is now getting more
traffic and it would also make a good truck route to
by-pass main street in Johnstown.
The Chamber of Commerce gave me permission to write to
you and see if this road could be put on your agenda for
next year or so. We certainly do appreciate what the
county had done to some of our county roads around Johnstown.
Sincerely,
Harold Fahrenbruch
Member of the Chamber
