HUDSON, CO 80642
Dear Mr. Rumery:
In response to your letter dated November 10, 1999, regarding the dust control problem and the request to pave
Weld County Road (WCR)4; the road is already paved from US Hwy 85 to 1-76, therefore, I would assume your
request is for the three-mile segment from 1-76 to WCR 45.
A traffic count was taken on this portion of WCR 4. The count indicates that the traffic volume was sufficient to
be considered for the County Roadway Improvement Plan. If approved, the roadway improvement will be
designed in 2000, utility relocations and right-of-way acquired in 2001 with construction in 2002.
In the meantime, another option for the local residents is to provide dust control materials. The County does not
provide chemicals for dust control. Enclosed is the County's Ordinance 180 on the fugitive dust control.
Should you need additional information, please contact Frank Hempen Jr. Director of Public Works, at
970-356-4000 Ext. 3750.
Sincerely,
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Dear Commissioners,
County Road 4 has become a major route for trucks traveling
east and west from Highway 85 to County Road 45 . This is because
County Road 4 is halfway between Highway 52 and Bridge Street , with
no speed restriction. There are residential areas and speed zones
on Bridge Street , County Road 2 , and Highway 52 goes through
Hudson. County Road 4 becomes a total washboard one day after it is
graded. By the end of the week, it is a 10 to 15 MPH road. A count
has been taken and County Road 4 has more than the required traffic
to be paved. Also, enclosed, is a photo showing how bad the dust
pollution is . If it is not feasible to grade more than once a week
and treat to control the dust , the road should be paved. I feel
that County Road 4 should be considered for paving in the near
future.
Thank you,
Lar Rumery
