limit on Weld County Road 47.5 between U.S. Highway 34 and Weld County Road 58. Mr. Meyer stated
staff conducted traffic and speed studies and recommend the reduction. He also stated this is part of a haul
route for a gravel pit operation going into the area, which will cause a worsening of traffic conditions.

percentile was at different speeds throughout this portion of roadway. Commissioner Geile stated there are
also school buses and turn outs in the area. Commissioner Jerke moved to approve the draft resolution
with an amendment to 45 mph,which is the low end of the scale currently being driven,thus allowing time
prior to the gravel pit becoming operational to determine whether the reduction would be sufficient.

nearby dairy stated feed trucks may only be traveling 10 mph,which will be a detriment to a higher speed
limit; however, he will support the motion. Commissioner Jerke stated 40 mph is more indicative of an
urban setting than rural,where it should be a bit higher. On a roll call vote,the motion carried unanimously.
