Re: Paving of Weld County Road 23 ''
Dear Mr. Eiberger:
This letter will serve as a reply to your previous requests for an update on paving WCR 23 1/2. The
issue was reviewed by the Board of Weld County Commissioners and Frank Hempen, Jr.,Director
of Public Works/County Engineer.
As you may be aware, the composition of the Board of County Commissioners changed in January
of this year. The new Board determined it was appropriate to review all roadway improvement plans
currently scheduled by the Public Works Department. The Board made several changes to the
Improvement Plan. One of the changes was a determination not to pave WCR 23 '/ at this time.
In lieu of paving the roadway, a decision was made to cover it with a stabilized rock base. This
process incorporates a chloride based compound with good quality road base. The resulting product
is a hardened surface that greatly diminishes fugitive dust. It will be refinished once a year to
maintain the roadway surface, thus controlling the effects of a raveling and potholes.
The timing of this work will be discussed within the next two weeks when a revised Improvements
Plan is considered by the Board. I am directing Mr. Hempen to advise you of the timing of this
project as soon as a decision is made.
A signal is planned for the intersection of WCR 6 and U.S. Highway 85. It is the No. 3 priority
project in the Upper Front Range Regional Plan Project List. The Colorado Department of
Transportation (CDOT) staff has projected construction as early as 2002. It is the consensus of the
' t i,t/,, fi(((1 2001-1348

Board that installation of this signal will encourage motorists to use this intersection for access to
the south instead of WCR 23 1/2. The Public Works Department will monitor traffic counts to
determine whether this assumption is correct.
Sincerely,
BOARD 9F COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Commissioner Kirkmeyer:
(Re): Paving Weld County Road 23.5
Tha+:k you for your letter dated November 15, 2400 regarding the above matter
Road 23 Yz was not being graded twice a week as we previously discussed, but sonic
time:, it is three weeks between grading. Due to the chemical placed on the road to
reduce the amount of dust,the washboard/rippling of the road cannot be removed
by grading it. The additional gravel has helped in filling in sonic of the ruts. I am
not convinced the additional aggregate and routine maintenance will alleviate the
concerns with the road roughness. It needs to be maintained by grading said road a
minimum of twice daring a weekly period, and sometimes more than twice, due to
heavy traffic.
Thank you for help regarding the littering. Please inform the Department that most
of the debris is broken beer and liquor bottles and they should wear gloves for
protection. We continue to stop and pick up bottles and trash. As we stated :fore,
the added concern is the broken glass along the road,which is dangerous to people,
pets, horses and wildlife as you can imagine.
While we do not want to inundate you with letters, a politician once said, "the
squeaky wheel gets the grease". Boy do we have a lot of squeaky wheels driving the
aforementioned road.
Anything you can do or advise t ; to do, to speed up the paving schedule, please let
us know.
If you have not been able to drive the road, please do so when you are on the "oath
end of the County. I can be reached at(303) 330-4001.
Thank you,
