To the Weld County Board of Commis ' ic?'rs;,6?•p6 _ �I ` 1
GREELEY. COLO.
The Western Sugar Company in Ft. Morgan, Colorado, The Western Sugar Company
would like to propose the following changes to the P.O. Box 617
18Board of Commissioners: Ft.
Morgan,17 Hwy. 144
Ft. Colorado 80701
(303)867-8276
1. WCR 63 & 14 - install stop signs for
traffic traveling East and West.
2. WCR 67 & 14 - change direction of
stop sign to East and West.
The reason for our concern regarding these two
intersections comes as a result of the consolidation of two
beet receiving stations which will now be located at Krauss on
WCR 65 1/2 & 16. Geographically, Krauss has two major routes
for access from the South, these two being WCR 63 & 67.
An explanation for our safety reasons are as follows:
1. WCR 63 & 14
A. Truck drivers will be able to avoid an
uncontrolled intersection.
2. WCR 67 & 14
A. Road 67 being changed to a thoroughfare
would be safer for truck drivers avoiding
sudden stops with heavy payloads.
B. Heavy truck. traffic resulting from:
1. Local beet harvest
2. Commercial rehaul of beets to Ft.
Morgan
3. Corn and feed supplies to feedlot on
Rd. 67 & 18
C. Truck traffic running East and West, to
continue traveling North, would have to
slow clown or stop to negotiate a turn.
Therefore stopping at a controlled inter-
section seems logical
We hope that these proposed changes seems logical to
accommodate the present traffic patterns.
The Western Sugar Company is committed to operating as
safely as possible so growers, employees and local residents
will benefit. This is the main reason for our proposal to the
Weld County Board of Commissioners.
Sincerely,
