Dear Mr. Reins:
To respond to your letter dated November 11, 1998, the roads listed below have had
maintenance treatments as follows:
WCR 136 between 105 and 111 was graveled in 1996
WCR 122 between 49 and 55 is now being repaired
WCR 126 between 77 and 83 was graveled in 1997
WCR 382 between 115 and 117 has been upgraded and regraveled
WCR 107 between 112 and 118 is 24' wide, as wide as the cattle guard. Both are a
sufficient width for the safety of the traveling public.
The remainder of the road sections will be considered by the Public Works Department
for work during 1999:
WCR 136 between WCR 67 and WCR 77
Intersection of WCR 95 and WCR 130
WCR 107 between WCR 122 and WCR 124
WCR 110 between WCR 89 and WCR 390
If you have any questions, please contact Dave Becker, Operations Manager at
(970) 356-4000 Ext. 3750.
Sincerely,
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Dear Mr. Becker:
We just finished a meeting with our bus drivers. While you have addressed some of our concerns, we still have some
remaining. These areas are still a problem...
WCR 136 between 105 and 111 and between 67 and 77.
WCR 122 between 49 and 55.
... the corner of 95 and 130.
... 107 between 122 and 124.
. . 110 between 89 and 390.
... 126 between 77 and 83.
WCR 122 has been graded and is excellent from that standpoint but there is so little gravel on it that it is very slick.
This makes it difficult to keep our vehicles on the road under recent conditions. The work on WCR 382 between 115
and 117 graded up the road but it was never packed. There is no bottom to the bad section and our bus is unable to
get through-we have to drive through the pasture in order to get around that spot. What makes it doubly bad is that
that is a dead spot for our radios and cell phones. Since signals can't get out, our drivers are out of touch if they have
problems.
On WCR 107 between 112 and 118 there is a cattle guard right on top of a hill. It is blind as you come up on it. Last
Wednesday, the el,one of our buses would have been in a head on with a cattle truck if it had been 5 or 10 seconds
sooner. That is too close for comfort! I know this is a difficult situation,but there needs to be something done.
Another concern that the drivers had was that on some roads they had been spot graveled. Where it was smoothed out,
it was great. However, on some spots it was just dumped and they have to drive through gravel that 6-10" deep.
We appreciate your concern and efforts to assist in these situations. Please feel free to call if you have any questions
Sincerely,
ar t I. ReinsI
