RE: Town of Nunn's Safe Streets and Roads for All Grant Application
Dear Mr. Teicher,
The Weld County Board of County Commissioners is in support of the Town of Nunn's application
for Action Plan funding through the US Department of Transportation's Safe Streets and Roads
for All (SS4A) grant program. During the FY23 grant cycle, Weld County was awarded funding
to create a Safety Action Plan. Although this Action Plan is for the county, the funding and Action
Plan will only be for county roads, not roads located within Weld County municipalities. Because
this will not result in any data or an Action Plan for municipalities, we are in support of the Town
of Nunn applying for funding to create their own Action Plan within their municipal boundaries.
According to the Colorado Department of Transportation's 2022 Problem Identification Report,
Weld County ranks second highest in the state for traffic fatalities. As we work to eliminate
roadway fatalities on county roads, we support municipalities making efforts to also improve
safety within their communities and eliminate roadway fatalities. Other Weld County communities
who have received SS4A funding in previous grant cycles include the City of Greeley (FY22) and
the Town of Windsor (FY23). It is our hope that the Town of Nunn will also be awarded funding
through this program so that this movement toward roadway safety continues and grows
throughout the county.
