A critical part of SB 156 was the designation of routes . SB 156 gave the Colorado State Patrol , after consultation with local governmental authorities , the sole authority to designate which public roads shall be used and which shall not be used by motor vehicles transporting hazardous materials . However , SB 156 also allowed that on or before July 1, 1988 , a petition for route designation may be submitted to the patrol . This petition could be submitted by any one of the following: a . By a county, with respect to any public road maintained by the county, upon approval of the petition by the board of county commissioners of such county; b. By a town, city, or city and county, with respect to any public road located within such town, city, or city and county, upon approval of the petition by the governing body of such town, city, or city and county; c . By the state department of highways , with respect to any public road maintained by the state, except for any public road located within a town, city, or city and county, upon approval of the petition by the state highway commission. Section 43-6-302 (9 ) CRS also states that "Any town, city, city and county, or county may request the state department of highways to submit a petition to the patrol for a route designation on any highway maintained by the state within the jurisdiction of the said local entity. " The rules and regulations concerning hazardous materials route designation were adopted by the State Patrol on February 3 , 1988 of which a copy is attached for your information. 880434 `J % '7 All Municipalities and Counties SB 156 Route Designation March 24 , 1988 Page 2 - If any municipality or county is interested in the Colorado Department of Highways petitioning the State Patrol on their behalf they simply must only complete the enclosed packet entitled "Request to the Department of Highways to Petition on the Behalf of a Municipality or County, " March 24 , 1988 . This will relieve the municipality or county of any additional requirements as outlined in the Colorado State Patrol ' s "Hazardous Material Route Designation--Petitioning Packet" dated January 7 , 1988 . All other requirements including the data collection, data analysis , alternative analysis and map preparation will be completed by the Department of Highways. It is important to stress three critical issues at this time. 1. THIS REQUEST IS ONLY VALID FOR STATE HIGHWAYS WITHIN THE REQUESTING MUNICIPALITY. IF LOCAL ROADWAYS ARE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ROUTED DESIGNATION, THE JANUARY 7, 1988 PETITIONING PACKET MUST BE COMPLETED BY THE MUNICIPALITY OR COUNTY AND SUBMITTED DIRECTLY TO THE COLORADO STATE PATROL. 2 . THIS REQUEST MUST BE APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF THE COUNTY OR THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE REQUESTING MUNICIPALITY AND SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS BY JUNE 1. 1988 AT THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS : COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS DIVISION OF TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM SUPPORT BRANCH ATTEN: TOM TALMADGE 4201 E. ARKANSAS AVE. DENVER, COLORADO 80222 3 . BY REQUESTING THE COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS TO PETITION ON THE BEHALF OF A MUNICIPALITY OR COUNTY DOES NOT PREEMPT THE MUNICIPALITY OR COUNTY FROM PETITIONING THE STATE PATROL FOR FUTURE ROUTE DESIGNATIONS EITHER ON STATE HIGHWAYS OR LOCAL ROADWAYS . Also attached for your information and use are the following maps for the State Highway System: 1 . DRAFT Proposed Designated Routes for the Transportation of Hazardous Materials--March 24 , 1988 2 . 1986 Truck Traffic Volume Map 3 .
