Re: Request to Pave WCR 3 and WCR 12
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sanchez:
I want to thank you for your letter requesting the County consider paving the referenced
roads.
I have directed the Public Works Department to include these roads in the evaluation
process for the Five-Year Roadway Capital Improvement Plan. I have also suggested the
Department review the frequency of maintenance on these roads to determine whether the
roughness issues you raised can be addressed.
Weld County maintains approximately 3,300 miles of roadway; 2,600 miles are aggregate
surface. As a part of the improvement plan noted above, Weld County plans to pave
selected aggregate surfaced roads. We utilize a process which equitably evaluates all
roadway candidates for paving. Obviously, our funding is limited when compared to the
number of candidates. I assure you WCR 3 and WCR 12 will be fairly considered.
If you have further questions on this issue, please contact Frank B. Hempen, Jr., Director
of Public Works.
Sincerely,
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Dale K. Hall, Chair

Weld County Commissioners

We, as residents of Parkland Estates, request a review of County
Roads 12 and 3 with consideration that both roads be paved.
Parkland Estates is in the most southwest section of Weld
County just outside of Erie. This area is one of the fastest growing in
Colorado. We are seeing rapidly increasing traffic. Parkland Estates
has been in existence since the '70s and is a community that provides
not only a high quality of life for its residents but continuing tax
support for Weld County. Parkland was required by Weld County to
pave our streets, and we now request that Weld County pave the
connecting roads.
County Road 3, south of Highway 52, provides access to Parkland
Estates and Erie (once construction on bridge is complete). On the
north side of the subdivision is County Road 12, which runs from
County Road 5 (which is paved) to County Road 3. County Roads 3 and
12 produce not only a tremendous amount of dust, a continuing hazard
to the health and safety of homeowners here, but a visual and
consistent supply of air pollution harming our views. County Road
10-'/2 has been paved from Countyline (Road 1) to County Road 3. Just
a few hundred yards to the north of this intersection is Rue De Trust,
our community road, which is also paved. Many people won't go down
County Roads 3 and 12 now because they are very dusty, rough and
full of washboards. Therefore, these drivers cut through Parkland
Estates via Rue De Trust to either County Roads 5 or 10-'/z. If the
surrounding roads were paved it would diminish the "cut through"
traffic. Parkland Estates is a family community, with residents waiting
for school buses, jogging, walking (with or without dogs), and riding
bikes and these "cut through" drivers pose a definite threat to their
safety.
Parkland's contact person for our homeowner's association is
Kim Hughes and she is willing to meet with you on this matter. Please
