Box 758 • Greeley, Colorado 80632 COLORADO July 17, 2003 Mr.Frank Grimaldi 261 Hunters Cove Drive Mead, Colorado 80542-9661 RE: Weld County I-25 Parallel Arterial Corridor Study Dear Mr. Grimaldi, This letter is written in response to your letter dated July 11, 2003, regarding the optional alignments west of I-25 near Mead. Thank you for taking the time to write and for attending the public open house meeting. Public input is very valuable,and we welcome your input. Your information has been given to the project managers in charge of the corridor study for consideration in developing the final alignments. Again,we appreciate your suggestions, and we welcome any additional input. Feel free to contact Wayne Howard,P.E.,Project Manager, at(970) 356-4000, ext. 3788, if you have any further comments. Sincerely, OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS David E. Long, Chair 41/ DUsk I July 11, 2003 Robert W. Felsburg, President Felsburg Holt & Ullevig 7951 E. Maplewood Ave., Ste. 200 Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111 RE: Weld County I-25 Parallel Arterials Study / DeaC.. \11 ls� JJ I am a Colorado Certified General Appraiser am required to state that this is not an appraisal or feasibility study. I am commenting on the above referenced project as a private citizen. I live in the Town of Mead. My concerns pertain to the West Arterial in Segment 6 of the map dated July 9, 2003. Enclosed is an enlarged copy for your convenience. I will comment on the three alternatives which bypass the Town of Mead and are predominantly blue in color known as: A6; E6; and, F6. All connect to green colored Alternative B7 to the North and A5 to the South. A6 connects B7 in the Northwest to A5 in the Southeast by merging onto Weld County Road 7 just north of Colorado Highway 66 and just south of a school bus stop. WCR-7 also has a large functioning ditch along the East side of the road. In my opinion this is the most unsafe and least desirable of the three alternatives. The corner of Highway 66 and WCR-7 is the crossing of two section lines and is already scheduled for partial development which includes single family homes. These homes will be a part of Mead and alternative A6 would then not bypass Mead. It will further divide the Town. This appears to be a short term solution to what is a long term situation. An additional school bus stop may be needed at or near this corner when the homes are built and occupied. I believe implementing alternative A6 will cause significant traffic congestion, accidents, and other problems at the Highway 66 and County Road 7 corner. The safety issue alone indicates alternative A6 is not acceptable. Alternatives E6 and F6 both merge back into Weld County Road 7 south of Highway 66. E6 may be preferable to F6 because E6 runs along a midsection line and traditionally development occurs along section line and midsection line roads. When the safety issue is considered both are far superior to alternative A6. I have added a suggestion of my own colored in red. This overlaps parts of alternatives E6 and F6 and connects both by continuing E6 along the midsection line and connecting it to F6. You may want to consider this option. Robert W. Felsburg, President Felsburg Holt & Ullevig July 11, 2003 Page Two At the July 9th Open House Weld County Commissioner Glenn Vaad brought up the possibility of renaming this road, which is a bypass around Mead, as County Road 7 with signs or other methods to continue the flow of traffic onto this bypass at both the North and the South where this separates from WCR-7 thus preventing traffic from continuing on what will be the old two lane road through Mead. This makes good sense to me. Thank you very much for taking the time to consider the opinions I have expressed. If you have any questions feel free to contact me on my wireless phone: (303) 775-5262.
