RE: Weld County WCR 59/CO 52 RAB Application - NAAPME "Community Clean Transportation Assistance"
Program (CCTAP)
Dear Chair Stephens,
The Weld County Board of County Commissioners requests a funding partnership through the NAAPME
"Community Clean Transportation Assistance" Grant Program. Weld County's application is intended to complete
approximately a $1.8M construction funding gap associated with the CO 52 & WCR 59 roundabout (RAB) project.
We commend the Colorado Department of Transportation (COOT) for advancing this important safety project on the
state highway system and recognizing the positive impact it will have on the Historically Disadvantaged Communities
by including funding it in their 10 -year Plan.
This important intersection project is an agency collaboration of CDOT, RE -3J School District, the Towns of
Keenesburg, Hudson and Lochbuie committed to improving the safety and air quality of the CO 52 corridor. CO 52
is a major east -west truck route located in the Upper Front Range Transportation Planning Region (UFR TPR). The
UFR TPR is the only rural TPR, not part of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) that has been included in
the 8 -hour ozone nonattainment boundary since 2008.
This very important project not only improves the safety for the region and rural school district but reduces emissions
by improving the free flow of traffic in order to reduce the number of idling vehicles at the intersection.
We urge your support and funding of this very important regional project. It is our hope you will agree this project
meets the criteria of the CCTAP Program and the air quality benefits this safety project will bring to the region.
Chair, Weld County Board of Commissioners
