Subject: Reduction of Speed Limits
Michael F. Schumann has requested the reduction of the speed limit to 45 mph on three sections of
County roads: (See the attached diagrams of the road sections.)
1. WCR 7 between WCR 34 and St. Hwy 66
2. WCR 7 between WCR 38 and the Town of Mead's annexation limits
3. WCR 13 between WCR 32 and St. Hwy 66
The above listed sections of road are all adjacent to the town's annexation limits. There has been an
increasing amount of development in these three areas, which has increased the volume of traffic.
The current posted speed limit is too fast and is endangering the resident's safety.
I met with Michael Schumann on August 15, 1995 to discuss his request for speed zone signing. I
informed him that Weld County would have to conduct a traffic count and a speed count to
determine if the requested signing is necessary. I also told him that as soon as the study was
completed, the results and the County's recommendation would be forwarded to him.
The Engineering Department performed a site inspection and a traffic count. During the time the
traffic study was conducted, a new mayor took over at the Town of Mead, Lisa Brown. I contacted
her by phone and updated her on the situation. I informed her that a recommendation would be made
to the Board of County Commissioners. Their decision would then be forwarded to the Town of
Mead.

Chairman
Weld County Board of Commissioners
913 10th Street
Grcely, CO 80631
Dear Commissioner Hall:
I have been asked by several of our towns citizens to request that the Board of
County Commissioners look at reducing speed limits on W('R 7 and WCR 13. These
reductions would increase pedestrian and auto traffic safety issues on both of these
artierial roads.
I am requesting that the speed limits be reduced to 45 mph in county jurisdictions
on WCR 7 between WCR 38 and HWY 66, and the same on WCR 13. Presently
auto traffic uses these arterial roads as highways and travel on them has become
extremely fast and is endangering both residents who live in the county and our
town.
Your attention to this matter would be appreciated by myself and our Board. Please
feel free to call me if you need additional information or questions.
Sincerely,
? r. "1 ,
�!Jr
Michael F. Schumann, Mayor
