Dear Craig:
"5
For the past two to three weeks the truck traffic
has increased along with some other problems.
Speeding has been a major factor as well as
cars/pickups going south passing over the solid
yellow lines. Last Friday, June 13, while mowing
my lawn, I counted 5 cars passing directly in front
of my home.
To get back to the major problem, the heavy semi
trucks are not heeding to the weight limit or the
speed limit signs. I have noted at least 6 plus
trucks going by from early mornings to late
evenings. Again these trucks are "Boss semi's,
cattle trucks and grain trucks." I feel that
between the DOT, Weld County Sheriff's Dept. and
the Colorado State Patrol, a better control over
these problems could be maintained. If the weight
limit will not control these problems, I would
suggest other types of control be implemented.
Please give me your thoughts and/or ideas on ways
to pursue this ongoing problem.
Thank you for your cooperation and help in the
past and I hope we can find some sort of
curtailment for these problems in the future.

PUBLIC WORKS RESPONSE
CLEf..
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Narrative:
I,�
to
This letter is to Craig LeVere, Colorado State Highway Patrol Sergeant, who is
in charge of the Fort Lupton office. It is regarding enforcement fo weight
limits on WCR 27 south of Fort Lupton.
Commissioner Kirkmeyer and I worked with Sergeant LeVere and Mr. Hedglin to come
up with a plan to post weight limits,and the Board approved the postings. The
signs have been in place for approximately one year.
Since Mr. Hedglin is asking for enforcement by the CSHP and not asking for any
action by Weld County, I think this letter should be thought of as information,
and no response is necessary at this time. Believe me, Mr. Hodglin knows who
to call at Weld County if he thinks we should do something.
