General Comments :
1 . Since the public outreach section was omitted, it is difficult to determine how public
feedback influenced the goals and objectives in the plan . The City is interested in what
type of public engagement was conducted.
a. It doesn ' t appear that the public input informed the goals. We understand that
there is a survey online, but it is predominantly transportation- focused .
b . We recommend that there be zoom meetings or meetings held as an open house
through an online format.
2 . The City is currently reviewing the update to the Comprehensive Plan and we suggest a
stronger tie between the Transportation Plan and the Comprehensive plan . There could be
more mention of land use and coordination to promote quality development near existing
urban areas . This is in line with goal 4B of the Comprehensive Plan Update.
3 . Project list:
a. Consider including 4th Street and 83rd Avenue intersection improvements in the
list of projects . The City believes this should be in the short range list and take the
place ahead of 83rd Avenue and O Street improvements as there is prospective
development that may occur at this intersection in the next five years. This could
be a joint project with the City .
b . Consider adding the Vestas curve improvements to the list of projects . This could
be a joint project with the City .
Page 1 of 3
c . The City welcomes any opportunity to leverage funds and partner on projects
within our long range growth boundary .
d . Consider mapping short, mid and long term project locations .
4 . Policy and Goals :
a. Per TP. Policy 1 . 11 we believe a joint effort (separate from the transportation plan)
between the City of Greeley and Weld County should be initiated to create an
access control plan/visioning document for existing and future segments of O St.
The City would like for the County to consider including this in the list of Future
Access Control Plans on page 68 of the plan .
b . TP Goal 7- the Front Range Passenger Rail study will likely inform rail efforts in
the region and the County . It may be worthwhile to mention this study in this
section in addition to the North I -25 EIS .
5 . Classification changes :
a. For functional classification changes that occur within two miles of the City, the
City would like to have discussions and a level of input in the process .
6 . Setbacks :
a. We encourage the County to consider 25 ' building setbacks from future City
ROW for roads within the City of Greeley growth boundary or within two miles
of the City . If it is not possible to be addressed in the transportation plan, a future
Coordinated Planning Agreement could include this request and would help avoid
property impacts in the future .
7 . Oil and gas development :
a. Oil and gas development in the County can impact City roads and vice versa.
We ' d like to call out that more coordination is needed between the City and
County on the impact of oil and gas development on roads and direct access onto
both of our roads . Potentially a subcommittee of County and City staff to look at
the impacts and solutions would be beneficial to both entities .
8 . Maps :
a. Label all maps to help users determine locations (major streets and major
landmarks) .
b . Figure 13 :
i . Crash analysis maps . The larger dots should indicate higher crash
locations instead of the smaller dots . It may be better to show yearly
crashes in a graph format.
c . Figure 20 :
i . Place streets on top of the City limits, to help identify the street location in
association with the municipality .
d . Figure 30 :
i . Please label roads in the functional classification map . Consider enlarging
the functional classification map into two maps for better readability .
ii . The City of Greeley considers CR 27, 29, 31 , 33 , 35 , and 37 between
SH392 and O Street, minor arterials . CR 66 is also considered a minor
arterial by the City of Greeley .
iii . 1St Avenue and CR 43 between CR 66 and East 8t" Street are considered
minor arterials by the City of Greeley .
Page 2 of 3
iv The future extension of O Street from 83rd Avenue to Crossroads is
shown, however the proposed alignment from the intersection of 35th
Avenue & O Street north to CR 66 is not shown The City would like
information on the merit of this alignment and why it was not shown in the
Plan
9 Routes
a Truck routes should be defined on a separate map, this information allows
municipalities to leverage on this information
b Bike and Pedestrian Facilities The City requests that the County consider
showing future regional trails, in addition to existing trails Perhaps refer to the
MPOs non -motorized corridor plan
i Multi -model transportation is essential in Weld County, yet, there is not
very much mentioned about how shared or dedicated bike routes will be
implemented
ii Multi -model signage is encouraged throughout the shared corridors
in MPO Boundaries overlap with the North Front Range MPO, Denver,
Upper Front Range TPR — thus, we recommend a collaboration with these
areas for regional multi -modal methods
c TP Policy 6 4 Transportation Demand Management (TDM) — having bike modes
would be helpful
d TP Policy 7 3 expand shoulders for generous shoulders Please identify in map
where these will be so that bike riders can also take advantage of this corridor
10 Spelling/hyperlmks
a Buses vs Busses, Buses is correct
b There are a number of acronyms that were not listed first before usage in the
document ex FDR, HARP
c Consider adding hyperlinks to plan sections in the table of contents

Re : Weld County 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update and 2045 Transportation Plan comments
Dear Mr. Flesher and Mr. Pinkham :
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on both the Weld County 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update
and the 2045 Transportation Plan . After reviewing both plans and comparing these with our adopted
long range planning documents, the City of Brighton has the following comments and suggestions :
Draft Comprehensive Plan / Draft Comprehensive Plan Map
1 . We generally agree that intensive land uses should be located within municipal boundaries and
appreciate the efforts you have made to create the Comprehensive Plan Map and associated
guidelines . One concern we had with the map is whether prospective buyers or developers will
understand that development within the city is not guaranteed . We suggest adding language
that indicates annexation , development approval , or service provision by the city is not
guaranteed and the applicable city should be consulted .
2 . The opportunity zones identified on the map cover every major transportation corridor in Weld
County . Focusing commercial and industrial uses along these major transportation corridors
makes sense from an infrastructure perspective, but can also change the character or perceived
character of an area . Highways and arterials are gateways to Weld County and the communities
within . We suggest the inclusion of design standards for the opportunity zones that address
landscaping, buffering, fencing, and screening . Design standards can allow businesses to be
conveniently located on major transportation corridors, but also improve the visual character of
these corridors . In addition , the inclusion of design standards would contribute to the land use
goals and objectives stated in the draft plan including :
• Harmonize development with surrounding land uses
ADMINISTRATION • BUILDING • ENGINEERING • PLANNING
OUR MISSION . . . INTEGRITY + VISION + STEWARDSHIP = A PROGRESSIVE COMMUNITY
• Support compatible economic development opportunities
• Recreation and Tourism
Draft 2045 Transportation Plan
1 . Looking at the draft Functional Classification Map as it pertains to Brighton ' s growth area ( WCR
2 to WCR 6 between WCR 19 and WCR 33 ) , the only north -south connections shown are WCR 19
and Main Street/ Denver Avenue . We would appreciate your consideration in adding a few
important north -south connections that are already included in our Transportation Plan :
a . Collector along the WCR 27 alignment
Main Street/Denver Avenue is located on the west side of the UPRR and Brighton is
planning for significant industrial and employment uses east of the UPRR. An additional
north-south collector in this area is vital for future business access to Highway 85. This
becomes particularly important once the access modifications proposed by the Highway
85 PEL are implemented (closure of Hwy 85 access at WCR 2. 5 and WCR 4), as the only
north-south connection to the remaining access points on Highway 85 ( WCR 2 and WCR
6) in this area is Main Street/Denver Avenue.
b . Collectors along the WCR 23 , WCR 29, and WCR 33 alignments .
c . In addition , we already consider WCR 31 a collector.
2 . East-west streets on the Functional Classification Map on Weld County' s GIS are also in conflict
with our Transportation Plan . Please consider the following adjustments :
a . Collector along WCR 4 ( WCR 21 to WCR 23 ) .
b . Streets that we already classify as collectors include WCR 2 . 5 ( Hwy 85 to WCR 29 ) and
WCR 6 ( Hwy 85 to WCR 33 ) .
3 . On page 70 of the draft plan , a future access control plan is mentioned for WCR 2 between \JJCR
11 and Interstate 76 . Brighton ' s Transportation Plan shows a realignment of Highway 7 up to
WCR 2 east of WCR 23 . Realignment of Highway 7 is proposed to alleviate congestion on Bridge
Street, Brighton ' s " Main Street . " Weld County' s proposed access control plan and Brighton ' s
plan to realign Highway 7 should work together to improve this major transportation corridor
and serve the needs of both jurisdictions, with significant participation from each jurisdiction in
both efforts .
Thank you again for allowing us to review and comment . We hope you will consider the suggestions
offered above to create more synergy between our master planning documents . If you have any
questions about these suggestions, please contact me via email at smcdowell@brightonco . gov or by
phone at ( 303 ) 655 -2015 .
Sincerely,
S H cVo-weLb

Subject: Weld County Comprehensive Plan
Date : 09/ 17/2020
Thank you for providing Boulder County with the opportunity to participate in Weld
County ' s Comprehensive Plan update. Boulder County strongly supports and encourages
the comprehensive planning efforts of local jurisdictions which serve to guide development
in accordance with that community ' s vision for its future .
The Comprehensive Plan draft identifies several areas where Boulder County and Weld
County share similar goals, for example the preservation of agriculture . Boulder County also
recognizes the regional nature of development impacts, for example the number of trips
between Boulder County and Weld County are projected to double between now and 2040
and today, approximately 30% of people traveling on SH 119 between Longmont and
Boulder are from Weld and Larimer Counties . In recognition of these shared goals and
interconnectedness of the region Boulder County looks forward to deepening the
intergovernmental understanding of these areas of overlapping interest and developing
collaborative efforts between the counties as opportunities arise .
Feel free to reach out to hhippely@bouldercounty .org for additional questions or comments .
Sincerely,

Comments on Weld County 2045 Transportation Plan
General Comments
• Add reference to Weld ' s participation in the US 85 Traffic Incident Management Plan (TIMP) and US 85
TIMP Standing Program Management Team ( SPMT), as well as the I-25 TIMP and I-25 TIMP SPMT in
the Regional Transportation Planning Chapter
• Will the Planning Process section explain how the TP goals and policies were developed?
• The NFRMPO supports Weld County ' s inclusion of and push for multimodal transportation investments
and regional collaboration, including highlighting NoCo Bicycle & Pedestrian Collaborative, the Weld
County Mobility Committee, and the One Call/One Click Center.
Page-Specific Comments
Page 14 — Missing a period after "Colorado" and before "ROW"
Page 15 — replace "the I -25 ." with "I-25 ." or "the I -25 corridor."
- Capitalize "Front Range"
- Fort Collins and Loveland are not shown in Figures 5 and 6 .
Page 20 — TP. Policy 1 . 13 — wondering if exploration/promotion/consideration of bikeable shoulders in rural settings
can be acknowledged. Consider removing "commuter" as bike lanes function for trips well beyond commuting
Page 20 — Should there be a policy related to transportation and land use? There are policies related to coordination
and interagency coordination but not specifically related to land use.
Page 20 — Add "bicycle and pedestrian" before facilities in TP.Policy 2.7
Page 20 — TP.Policy 3 . 1 — The shoulders are very important. Glad to see this ! Paved shoulders are an easy way to
invest in bike infrastructure while simultaneously improving conditions for all other modes.
Page 21 — TP. Policy 4.4 — Yes, this is great. Consider adding in bicycle and/or "micromobility solutions"
Page 22 — Unclear what is meant by "planning related plans" in goal 5 . Does it mean land use or comprehensive
plans?
Page 22 — TP.Policy 5 .2 does not read as a policy like the other policies.
Page 23- TP. Policy 6. 1 consider adding something like ". .without sacrificing safety ."
Page 23 — TP. Policy 6.4 could highlight VanGo as a TDM program.
Page 28 — The text says "WCR 49 has a large percentage of truck traffic, which is typically over 70%" but truck
traffic does not really cross over 50 percent in Figure 9. Are there other segments with higher truck percentages?
Page 29 — AASHTO is an organization, so do they have a document/manual also called the Green Book?
Pages 34-35 — Clarify if the county ' s DiExSys system includes crashes on all public roads or just unincorporated
areas. The intro says crash records are from municipal police departments (and other sources) for the "county
roadway system", which implies the crash data is county-wide, but the figures seem to show crashes only in
unincorporated areas.
Pages 34-35 — Do the numbers listed in the legend of Figure 13 indicate the rank of the intersection or road segment
instead of the number of crashes? If so, clearly state that in the legend and update the explanatory text on page 35 . If
not, it' s confusing for the symbology of 1 -5 to be the most prominent while 16-25 is the least prominent.
Page 34 — The text says "2013-2017" but the Table 3 and Figure 13 titles say 2015-2019.
Page 38 — Consider changing "Weld County ' s Transportation program is" to "Transit service in Weld County is"
and changing "this much needed transportation system" to "these essential services"
Page 39 - Burlington Northern changed their name to BNSF Railway in 2005
Page 40 - Table 4 should say BNSF Railway
Page 40 - the Commission is the Southwest Chief & Front Range Passenger Rail Commission
Page 40 - No speed or technology determinations for Front Range Passenger Rail have been made as the study is
currently underway
Page 40 — Class II is $20 million to $250 million. May also be helpful to specify the classifications refer to 1991
dollars.
Page 40 — Update references to "Front Range Passenger Rail Commission" to "Southwest Chief & Front Range
Passenger Rail Commission". Suggest adding "Colorado ' s" prior to the first instance to clarify the governance level .
Page 41 — Figure 16 is missing the Poudre Express.
Page 41 - Add discussion of Bustang Outrider?
Page 42 — Replace "train" with "trail" in "Big Thompson River Train"; delete the extra "There" (prior to "For the
most part")
Page 42 — Map is missing the Big Thompson River Trail, also RNMC # 10 (others?)
- Highlight the Regional Non-Motorized Corridors or Regional Non-Motorized Plan .
Page 43 — Replace "requited" with "required"
Page 46 — Second use of the acronym HARP is incorrectly stated as HAPR
Page 52 — FHWA updated its bridge sufficiency rating formula in 2016 and 2018 . The term "Functionally obsolete"
is now obsolete : ) See https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/bridge/britab.cfm and
https://artbabridgereport.org/about#::text=The%20FH WA%20uses%20four%20factors,with%20100%20being%20
the%20ideal . .
Page 52 — Figure 22 should say "Figure 21 ".
Page 55 — Most of the rural TPRs, including UFR, have a population over 50K. Change "since the population within
their boundaries is greater than 50,000" to "since the population within their Census-designated urbanized areas is
greater than 50,000". Change "TPRs with populations of 50,000 or higher" to "TPRs with urbanized areas of 50,000
or more residents". Change "MPOs with populations of 200,000 or more" to "MPOs with an urbanized area of
200,000 or more residents".
Page 55 - Define TPR and MPO
Page 57 - Define TIP
Page 57 - Planning Council and Technical Advisory Committee are the proper names of these groups and should be
capitalized
Page 57 — Kathleen Bracke is the Transportation Commissioner for District 5 CDOT Region 4 covers Commission
Districts 4, 5, and 11
Page 59 — Minor point, but DRCOG is not the Area Agency on Aging AAA for Weld County or Boulder County
Page 63 — Remove the term "expanded" or explain what it means Also, the text refers to two separate ozone figures
but only one is shown
Page 63 — Define CMAQ
Page 63 — Define SIP
Page 63 — Rephrase "Ozone nonattamment boundaries are eligible for CMAQ funds" to "Communities within the
Ozone nonattamment boundaries are eligible "
Page 72 — Important: The 2045 FOCUS does not include the NFR's 2045 RTP projects, and potentially this is true
for other MPO areas around the state The NFR's 2045 projects were provided to CDOT in September 2019 but as
of August 2020 have not been incorporated into the statewide model Instead, CDOT's FOCUS model uses the
NFR's 2012 Base Year model network and TAZs, which reflects the NFR's 2040 RTP projects
Page 74 — Would be helpful to define the facility types listed in Table 5
Page 76 — Remove "internal to" in the row and column headers of Table 8
Page 82 — SH 263 was devolved and no longer exists as a state highway
Page 87-90 - It may be worth noting that functional classifications determined by the County may not necessarily
match the CDOT/FHWA classifications, which ultimately determine federal -aid eligibility of a roadway
Page 89+ — Can all projects listed as "widening" or "widen roadway" in Tables 10 and 11 be clarified to indicate if
the widening refers to lane widths/shoulders or new through lanes, as is done in Table 129
Page 94 — Reconcile table 12 formatting and this sentence "Improvements highlighted red in the Table 12 project
list depicts new planned roadways "
Page 99 — Clarify how the MMOF-funded North Front Range Premium Transit Analysis, Coordinated Public Transit
Human Services Transportation Plan, and Regional Transit Element fits into strategy 4
Page 100 — Strategy #4 — a great strategy!

Below are comments on the completed review :
1 . CR 7 north of SH 7 , in Weld County , does not appear to be in any short or
long term improvement plan . This roadway , in the Broomfield portion , is
identified for increased traffic use . What type of improvements are slated
for CR 7 in Weld County and when would they be expected ?
2 . State additional funding resources that may be available to help build
infrastructure . .
3 . Establish opportunities for increased bike usage by providing options for
bike corridors in your typical roadway sections .
4 . Provide any long range transit opportunities .
5 . Review Livable streets concept for any planned concentrated urbanized
areas .
6 . Provide a section on household and employment growth .
7 . Provide a section on emerging technologies and how that may affect
future transportation .
8 . Not clear in table 6 and related tables of origins and destinations from and
to Broomfield County , unless numbers are already included in the " Denver
metro area " .
9 . I do not see a description or graphic showing the extension of Sheridan
Parkway ( nor Huron Street ) north and tying into a new interchange at 1 -25
as shown below in dash as part of Broomfield ' s Master Transportation
Plan .

RE: Road Classification
Regarding road classifications, I would like to comment in particular on Weld County Road 5 between Weld County
Road 28 and Colorado Highway 66.
I live on County Road S and would like to build on my property. I would like the road right of way to be classified so
that the right of way would not prevent me from building.
When I put a house on my property 20 years ago, there was not an issue of setback from the road. If the
classification road changes, l will need to get a variance to build.
Respectfully Submitted,

Broomfield Transportation Planning
Weld Transportation Plan Comments :
1 . The first few sections of this document could be improved by separating out paragraphs
to create breaks in the narrative . This will help improve readability . The introduction
section is one long paragraph ( Pages 8 and 9 ) .
2 . The Mission Statement in the callout box on page 9 only includes discussion of roads .
Please consider mentioning multimodal transportation , environment , and other elements
and modes that people travel by on the public transportation system . There are
subsequent policies that address some of these , it seems prudent to include in the
mission .
3 . The maps and other visualizations included throughout the document are fantastic , but
difficult to read in line with the text due to their relatively small presentation . Please
consider including all maps , tables and figures in the appendices so the reader can
explore the information provided .
4 . Transportation Policy 1 . 12 "Consider a multi-modal transportation system that assists in
reducing congestion on the roadway network. " Broomfield supports this policy , but
suggests expanding it to indicate instances where it applies . It is noted that the
population in Weld County is anticipated to reach around 640 , 000 in 2045 , but
employment in Weld will only be 223 , 000 . This will result in significant commuter traffic
to other jurisdictions for employment and congestion on major commuting corridors .
More specificity regarding the utilization of multimodal approaches on these corridors will
help the reader understand where these strategies may be applied and what they may
look like .
5 . Transportation Policy 2. 6 "Promote the Weld County Smart Energy Plan, which supports
efforts of utilizing natural gas as an alternative transportation fuel, as well as converting
vehicles to bi-fuel or dedicated natural gas. " While Broomfield supports the
diversification of vehicle fuel types , please consider including information about electric
vehicles in this section , rather than focusing entirely on alternative fossil fuels . It is a
Colorado Statewide goal to promote the use of EVs for light , medium , and heavy duty
vehicles . It is also likely that by 2045 EVs will make up a significant portion of vehicle
sales in Colorado by 2045 . It seems prudent to address EVs and the use of electricity as
another possible fuel source in a plan that looks this far into the future .
6 . Transportation Policy 6. 3 "Work with adjacent counties, such as Boulder, Larimer,
Morgan, and Adams to consider cost sharing projects which provide regional
transportation services, for example, a fixed inter-regional transit route between
counties. " Please consider adding Broomfield to the list of counties . We share county
borders . Based on maps in the document , a significant number of the busiest corridors in
Weld connect to Broomfield and as such , we would like to be identified as a partner in
future planning efforts for inter- regional transportation .
7 . Page 77 , Figure 27 shows significant growth in traffic along roadways shared with
Broomfield . Broomfield and Weld will need to coordinate roadway improvements in these
areas and classification of roadways . Figure 30 is difficult to understand which roadways
have which classification . Please consider legible roadways and a table that provide
more information on the intended roadway classification .
8 . The implementation /funding of transportation projects in this document refer to the
utilization of " cost effectiveness" as a primary factor in determining which transportation
projects to invest in . However, it is unclear how "cost effectiveness" is determined in
Weld County' s planning process . Please consider clarifying what this means in your
planning process by identifying what considerations go into "cost effectiveness" (eg .
quality of life , safety , traffic mitigation impact , environment , etc . ) .
9 . Please consider adding definitions for terms or strategies that may be subjective or
initially unclear to the reader. " Cost effective " comes to mind , but it would also be an
effective way to quickly help the reader understand functional classifications of roadways
and other transportation elements .
10 . There is very little discussion of the environment , air quality , ozone , GHGs , climate
change , or other factors that are impacted by transportation . Please consider adding
information about these elements of transportation and strategies to mitigate impacts
from transportation related to the environment . Colorado will likely be categorized in the
severe nonattainment category next year and federal requirements will come into play to
mitigate air quality impacts , including programs that impact transportation .
11 . There is very little information in this document regarding transportation affordability . As
noted in this document, the population of Weld is expected to double in the coming
years , while employment is only expected to be available for 1/3 of the population . This
suggests Weld residents will incur significant expenses related to transportation , which
will be compounded by congestion delays on inter- regional commuting routes . Best
practices in transportation recommend that housing and transportation costs together
should not exceed 45 % of total income . Please consider addressing this issue and
identifying strategies that may help alleviate transportation costs such as the
development of active modes facilities and investing in inter- regional transit services .
Consider using Housing + Transportation Affordability Index information provided by the
Center for Neighborhood Technology as a baseline .
12 . The transit section of the document on page 41 includes information about where transit
exists today , but does not provide information about where transit , park and rides , and
other multimodal services may be needed in the future . Please consider the Park N
Rides and Mobility Hubs planned on 1 -25 by CDOT including the SH7/I -25 Mobility Hub .
Please consider expanding on this section to include information about where focus
areas will be for investment into the multimodal system moving forward . Further
discussion of this topic could also be included in the section that presents information on
existing and future traffic volumes . It would be great to see some discussion about the
strategies Weld intends to implement , beyond roadway capacity expansion , to help
address future transportation needs and reduce long term costs of roadway capacity
expansion . Bus Rapid Transit is one topic that isn 't discussed at all throughout the
document , but offers a lower cost solution to congestion than highway/roadway capacity
expansion . Last , the maps are difficult to read , consider expanding to separate pages
with legible prominent roadways .
13 It would be great to see a project map in the document showing the short, medium and
long term projects Weld County has identified in the plan It is difficult to determine
which facilities are planned for improvements using the roadway names

Thank you Evan ,
As a follow up to our conversation of a couple weeks ago, can you please clarify plans for a few items
regarding the projects we all spoke about in case we get questions from Town Board :
• WCR 19 from SH 392 to WCR 74 - The draft map appears to update WCR 19 from Collector to
Arterial ( 140-foot ROW ) between Windsor and Severance to reflect increased traffic as we
discussed . Will any related projects regarding this segment be considered for addition to the Short,
Mid or Long- Range Capital Improvement Project List under Implementation ?
• WCR 13 from WCR 68. 5 to WCR 74 - Will anything be considered regarding partnering and
participating in the removal of the dangerous 90-degree turns and eliminating the "jog" in WCR 13 ?
• WCR 64 (O Street) - It is encouraging to see all of the planned O Street improvements in the Greeley
area in the Short- Range CIP . Will anything be considered regarding continuing that investment west
to connect to Windsor' s segment of O Street in Great Western Industrial Park ?
We appreciate your consideration of the aforementioned projects . Please let me know if you have any
questions .
Thanks, Scott

Land Use , Aq , Open Space , Recreation , etc .
1 . Don ' t plan a built out county . Protect Agricultural land and activities .
2 . Keep development to a minimum . . . where is the water going to come from for new developments?
3 . We moved out of Thornton to get some space . There are too many people on the roads there that
it is unsafe to drive . Keep people spread out and don 't move a bunch of commercial property here .
I love the family residential feel of my town .
4 . Weld County needs to diversify its economy , protect its agricultural roots , stop relying on revenue
from the oil and gas industry and prepare for a fossil free future .
5 . Residential development as well as commercial development needs to be a priority .
6 . Quit planning around locations where commissioners live . Batch plant would have never been
approved next to Kirkmeyer. Just like she . made sure that storage facilities were not approved
because of traffic
7 . Would love to see greener areas in east Weld county .
8 . Slow down development .
9 . We need to migrate away from oil and gas operations across the county and focus on other
commercial and industrial development , for the health and wellbeing of our communities . Please
balance development and design of land use with the built environment , respecting citizens ' air ,
water and soils . I ' m gravely concerned about the plumes of thick , black smoke that I see all day ,
every day from construction equipment in my neighborhood ( Colliers Hill in Erie ) . We can and
must insist on better environmental standards for these construction companies . "
10 . Maintain our agricultural heritage .
11 . Prevent the urban sprawl from Brighton , boulder and ft . collins from creeping into weld county .
12 . 1 believe that open space needs to stay open . I feel that farm/ranch land need to stay farm /ranch
land not turned into housing developments . Not all roads need to be paved . You can develop a
county by reusing empty building . There does not always need to be a building on every inch of
property .
13 . I would like to see it go back to that land in the country can not be used for developers to make
small subdivisions , as people move out here thing they live in the city do not obey the speed limits
(they think they are nonexistent and last maybe 2 -3 yrs then house sit empty and crime goes up .
More development means more need for police and we don 't have enough to cover what we have
now . Stop trying to get rid of our country properties and make it harder for development to
happen . Weld County is fine with what we have and do not need to grow any more
14 . affordable housing : over- inflating housing market does not match the salary range/job- base of the
population . If people cannot afford a home in this , they will move away . . . you lose your
employment base .
15 . We have a tremendous amount of growth and economic development , especially related to oil and
gas industries . It will obviously slow somewhat with the current slump , but it will continue for the
foreseeable future . It is imperative that Weld County balances this development , and the
accompanying population growth , with protecting agriculture . We don ' t want to become
Bakersfield CA .
16 . 1 would love to see the county prioritize trail and recreational development .
17 . Affordable housing . Smart development . Investment in infrastructure as growth happens not
reacting after the fact . These are all very important to keeping Weld County a desirable place to
live and work .
18 . I believe metro districts are not the right way to pay for growth . Way too much power/money is
given to ' a ' developer with not enough accountability ! My metro tax is more than my town tax . My
town could use the tax money to benefit the whole , with much more accountability .
19 . The turn around time to get applications approved for planning and zoning are lengthy . Expediting
the process would be an improvement .

20 Population is growing and economy, but I want to have clean air, a healthy community and
enough water in the future Please take care of natural resources by improving public
transportation and promoting recycling, increase green areas and supporting healthy living
21 Provide more single family homes To many apartments going in which makes for more
congestion with transportation and parking
22 Stay close to our agricultural roots It truly sets Weld County apart from the rest of Colorado
23 I thought Evans had done a pretty good job of planning for future growth in 2001 by putting in 4
lane roads, etc Who could have known that this area would grow so much! Now those same
roads are congested during rush hourl I don't know how one looks into a crystal ball and plans for
the future However, planning more roundabouts and 4 -lane roads is a must At least, Weld
County can "keep up" with the growth without overspending and never seeing the return Along
with growth has to come industry, otherwise, in an economic downturn, Weld County will suffer I
hate to see growth replace our wide-open spaces, but if it's going to happen then we should
balance housing with business and still give plenty of incentive to the farmers and ranchers I
noticed that in Wiggins, there are expensive houses being built Well, that's just dandy for doctors
and lawyers, but the more of them move up there, the more they will demand other business to
move there and where are the workers going to live' I have seen subdivisions in which there are
a mix of residential housing so that all economic classes can benefit from the same resources
This is a good idea, I think
24 We moved here because of it being a Right to farm and the oil and gas
25 Don't negatively impact existing residential or prime agricultural lands with industrial
developments
26 Weld county has a lot to offer, but I am reluctant to buy a house there because there is no
guarantee that an oil development won't go up nearby or next door I think there is an opportunity
to realize trail corridors and use them as a way to preserve some visually appealing swaths of
land
27 I moved to weld from boulder, what I see in Boulder is too much development which in turn brings
too many left wing ideas And get more developers to help with road expansion
28 Development should be kept in the bigger cities Keep the rural parts rural
29 Weld County is a place very unique compared to our counterparts along the Front Range This
uniqueness comes from our strong ties to agriculture and our history with the Cache la Poudre
River However, our development seems to emulate that of much more urban areas, with a total
disregard to what makes Weld County and Greeley unique If we lose that history completely, we
will have failed our ancestors and our future generations at the same time
30 Slow the expansion of housing and industry, because farmers are already talking that there is not
enough water to go around
31 Please preserve our agricultural heritage
32 We need to stop building so many houses on agricultural land
33 metro district developments should be much more regulated than they currently are and should be
used as a means to improve the surrounding areas outside the development area as well
34 More agriculture, less housing
35 We don't need more people here Imports are destroying our agricultural roots and bringing crazy
liberal stances We are going to be Denver or Boulder if we don't stop Bring back agriculture and
oil work
36 To much farm land is being lost to big city development and not enough is put on keeping the farm
land that feeds all of us
37 If the O&G boom is going away for the foreseeable future, then you better lure manufacturers here
ASAP before you are beaten to that source of revenue and job growth by other counties
38 No more houses' There are to many people here as is Focus on the community you have and
how to make their lives positive living here
39 We need more business on the west side, rent is out of control on the new Apartment being built

40 We should be leaders in wind and solar energy, and encouraging responsible farming and land
management We need to encourage more natural food stores and ecologically sensitive
companies to come here Less fracking Better recreational opportunities
41 Commercial and industrial growth is needed to preserve a good tax base But Weld county has
always been an agriculture based county That needs to be preserved And most importantly
preserving the family farms over corporate farms We have to protect the water for agriculture,
and residential and commercial growth needs to be done in a way that preserves the agriculture
lands rather than gobbling them up
42 Would like see developers slowed down in buying up agricultural land and trying to develop it for
their benefit Let's keep our grassland for the use of grazing cattle and for the native wild life that
we enjoy'
43 keep the development closer to 125 so we don't lose ag land Keep the county roads dirt so urban
dwellers don't want to live on them
44 Need a better plan for managing growth Need a better plan for managing infrastructure Need a
better economic plan as it relates to schools and water
45 Too many houses Too much traffic
46 I love our privacy and freedom of lifestyle out here in the country I would hope that Weld County
would do their very best to insure that agriculture and open spaces remain intact
47 There is so much traffic on Hwy 392 between 85 and 125 that it is almost impossible to turn onto
the road from any of the intersecting county roads This makes it dangerous, and I have seen
many accidents at the corner of CR 35 and Hwy 392 At the same time, it's not feasible to put in a
bunch more stoplights, as it would make commutes even longer and defeat the purpose of it being
a highway However it's done, it's clear that there needs to be a plan to reduce congestion on
roads like this Slowing the rate of new housing developments might be one place to stop the
bleeding
48 Preserve the tool of recorded exemptions for farmers and ranchers struggling with low prices and
water issues
49 I think there is way too much development Seems like new housing coming up all over I
understand development but it is losing the small town feel and just becoming another concrete
jungle and overcrowded
50 We NEED fair, honest, and transparent decision -making processes and clear communication
about issues and plans Citizens must have a voice in the process and should NOT be sacrificed
to industrial growth without compensation and mitigation
51 Agriculture is very important to weld county and it needs to remain that way'
52 slow growth in county
53 Both are important However, development needs to happen in municipalities and transportation is
crucial all over the county in both incorporated and unincorporated areas
54 The way this survey is designed, I was not able to make economic development a priority (the
choice rankings prevented that) but ED is hugely important and it must happen for the county to
thrive Agriculture and gas & oil cannot be Weld's only economic drivers in the future Diversity will
protect Weld from the ups and downs of both industries
55 I LOVE Weld County - let's please try to protect the agriculture lands that we have left We have
so much cost overhead and one being mill levies on ag buildings / sheds and shade areas for our
cattle I noticed they even taxed my shed I use as a chicken coop! This doesn't seem right to me
I look at the taxes charged on dairies and I can't believe it either I see section after section being
sold for high density neighborhoods because it's too hard to make a profit on ag land Let's
decrease some of that overhead so more people can stay in it! We've just sold half of our herd to
cut losses
56 Zoning enforcement Please prohibit semi -trailers in areas zoned residential Have people clean
up their property There is individual expression then there is just trash
57 When it comes to development planning, make an uniform policy on a topic, and fairly and equally
enforce it
3
Please share any other comments you have regarding development or transportation in Weld County
58 I'm appalled by the amount of development occurring We don't need any more people living in
weld county than are already here Let 'growth' go somewhere else
59 We must protect water rights and farmland or everyone will suffer
60 Let the farmers FARM! Make it easier for them, protect them, don't sell them down the river
61 Weld County should work to preserve farmland and instead rebuild older parts of cities Build up
and remodel old places of business Tear down old housing and replace it with updated housing
Building up instead of out
62 This is Colorado, not California They've already ruined their state, now they're ruining ours We
can't handle the cars and smog The farmers are having to sell so you can build parking lots All
anyone cares about is money and you are selling out this state to get more When the developers
are done, they'll just move on to the next state It's sad and I know my voice won't matter Stop
building Stop being part of the problem Unless you're a native, you won't get it You should be
ashamed of yourself
63 Weld County needs to remember that there is a suthern part of Weld County and not just the
Greeley area Also, Can Weld County stop the truck driving schools from blocking traffic by
driving 5 miles an hour on our County Roads There are traffic laws and they are not followed by
these truck driving schools and not enforced by the Sheriffs These truck driving schools (out of
Keenesburg) seem to think they have all the right of way on our county roads and the people have
no rights to drive on them at all It does no good to talk to the Sheriffs office ---they will do
NOTHING
64 Provide easy and affordable access to public transportation Build more affordable housing and
create a plan to give people good jobs Increase places of beauty and enchantment to ease
people's anxieties so they want to live here, rather than living here because it's less expensive
housing than other towns in the area Make a list of ways we can protect water, air, trees, plants,
animals, insects, birds, etc and match any development to that list of living with the natural world
Make Greeley so beautiful with intelligent design that people will feel they're a part of something
wonderful
65 We are concerned about the runaway population growth We shouldn't be balancing our budgets
on the permit fees from housing growth that won't continue forever We also think the population
growth leads to extensive increases in infrastructure costs Find a balance that is sustainable
financially without ruining the open range feeling we enjoy
66 Growth restrictions should have been instituted in the state of Colorado in the mid -seventies Weld
should have already been restricting urban migration to the rural parts of the county
67 Not allowing REs in agricultural areas that have no water or ground cover is wrong There are so
many people that need 3 or more acres for their Ag based businesses but some weld county city
slicker won't allow them I am so confused, frustrated and angry about this new rule
68 Slow down
69 People are flooding into Erie to work in Boulder Use the existing rail lines to run a trolley into
Boulder from Firestone
70 Small business owners and agriculture are necessary for the economic well being of Weld County
and the current USR process does not welcome/encourage, provide support or resources that
entice business owners in unincorporated Weld County We have been through the process and
have spoke to many individuals that feel like it is too difficult to go through the required zoning
process to get approval They choose to either relocate out of county or out of state due to the
restrictions and lack of support to get through the process It almost takes professional help to
complete the necessary paperwork, which can be cost prohibitive for some We had to hire an
outside consultant to help us navigate the process and help us get our USR completed It was
very costly and stressful even though we had a consultant It takes too long to go through all the
steps to get it approved I feel that county staff is so geared to identifying ways to deny a use, that
they aren't willing to help or suggest possible alternative ways to meet compliance
71 Development tends to help the affluent & hurt lower -income & minority people Manage
development in a very socially just manner

72 As a farmer/rancher I cannot make a living on land purchased at current prices The lack of
planning/ restrictions is causing the death of the family farm I'm also VERY concerned about the
water table and worried that my wells will run dry Even though all these little "farmettes" are
supposed to be restncted to domestic use only, the first thing the buyers do is buy a bunch of
animals Doesnt seem like anyone is monitoring or enforcing that designation
73 Help the farming and agriculture community They built this area, and wil be what runs it after the
oil runs out By all means get some good road grader operators that know how to cut ruts out and
fix a road Quit pulliing all the trash out of the ditch I'm tired of replacing tires
74 Encourage tiny home properties and or smaller building of homes Require more xenscape of
builders and cities Plant more trees
75 Preserve farms and help small commutes prosper again
76 Push urban (including residential, commercial, and industrial) development into municipalities and
protect every acre of arable land in unincorporated areas The protection of agricultural tracts with
oil and gas development away from neighborhoods is the backbone of the regional economy
77 Thank you for working to update the Comprehensive Plan I would recommend a more
comprehensive and detailed plan, however
78 I hope that everyone involved in planning, takes into consideration if there will be enough water for
more people, agriculture and businesses We've lived here 15 years and don't like the traffic
congestion, air pollution, noise and more and more development It wasn't like this 15 years ago
Can there be limits on how much growth to encourage'?
79 Fewer housing developments and more farm land
80 I think the County should be sure to balance the maintenance of agricultural land with any large
scale industrial/commercial development Farm land needs to be preserved as much as possible
so that we do not find ourselves in the situation where we cannot produce any crops locally
81 Development should be compatible with existing long term plans Development is important but it
shouldn't be stripped along corridors, but in commercial nodes to preserve land for other uses or
open space preservation
Transportation, Roads, etc.
1 I think Weld has a good Public Works department
2 It would be nice to see traffic flows increase with the use of roundabouts instead of traffic lights
As volume increases so do wait times
3 Round abouts do not belong in ag areas as they not not accommodate ag equipment Ag
producers are not heard or respected for needs Unfortunate as ag is base of economy in weld
county Keep water for ag producers and not sell to developers or for oil fracking And limit
development in weld county if the infrastructure can't support the growth, which is where we are at
nowiii
4 With the exception of extending Weld County Parkway north to Hwy 14 and south to DIA (working
with Adams County), no additional County roads should be paved
5 The Road on Kahil next to the school needs to be re -paved, most roads need it here in Ft Lupton
It would help with safety and the longevity of the vehicles
6 I can only speak to my neck of the woods, but we are seeing more and more residential growth
that is increasing congestion on county roads that don't seem to be keeping pace with the growth
I expect traffic in areas of growth, but it doesn't seem like roads are keeping up If a developer is
going to put in several hundred houses, it is most definitely going to increase traffic What worked
before safety -wise for the area before development is not adequate to handle that increased flow
As much as I hate them, a few well placed traffic lights and additional lanes would seem to cut
down on the dangerous stunts impatient people pull
7 We need roads that can accommodate the population growth happening all over the county and
lessen traffic jams and congestion
8 county roads are getting so narrow that it is dangerous for trucks passing each other and with
larger farm equipment much harder to get over to let vehicles pass

9 I believe that establishing effective public transportation throughout Weld County is going to be
imperative Specifically routes that encompass the whole county so all residents can easily get to
and from all areas of the county
10 Roads need to be maintained better Overall they are in decent shape, but there are certain roads
that have a lot of traffic and refilling potholes year after year doesn't always do the trick, especially
in the winter when the road freezes and plows go over the surface
11 I think the roads really need improvement specially in residential area The county road also
really needs more color ( lines) to help us to drive at night The white lines is fading away
12 There is no reason that the county cant address the rural roads We've put in thousands of dollars
to try to fix the road and it's barely made a dent
13 Heavy truck use on all the backroads in Weld are dangerous and destructive
14 The roads both paved and dirt were not build to handle the amount and weight of current traffic I
think development needs to improve roads that are going to be used
15 The surge of people moving to Weld is coming Concentrate on making sure roadways are wide
and safe Plan for more traffic lights and roundabouts, and possibly truck bypasses
16 It is appreciated for all the improvements and projects completed in the county kudos to those that
work to keep improving I travel various states and counties and Weld is by far has a better
transportation system I have watched when they lay down some powder on the roadway then mill
it in, looks expensive but am impressed you are using recycled products to rebuild the road
Thank you Weld county
17 Consider more roundabouts in developing portions of the county
18 We love living in Weld County' We would love for CR 13 to be paved between Vine and 98 And
CR13 has a hill at Rd 58 that gets big snowdrifts, cars get stuck and it's a blind hill, very
dangerous It needs better maintenance in the winter
19 We need improvements on streets that are busy, less blocks to frontage roads, and less
turnarounds
20 Glad to have rd 17 & rd 54 open again, this takes pressure away from US 34 Also would like to
see rd 54, 37th street etc improved/widened all the way to rd 49
21 1/3 of weld county residents live in Greeley, so transportation in and out of Greeley should be
prioritized
22 We need good roads for development, good farm to market roads and always good roads for
commuters (Tax payers) All (except WCR 49) of Weld county's roads are sub standard for safety
of all travelers, volume is poor narrow and inadequate lanes and turn lanes, and structurally
inadequate for the legal heavy loads and too congested for commuters and all other traffic
23 There have been some county roads annexed by the adjacent town/city which are in very poor
condition Example the county road south of the river by La Salle (Godfrey Bottom Road as the
locals refer) that is an Evans, CO responsibility Others personally experienced are CR 20 north
of CR 18 now maintained by Fort Lupton These towns gathered the tax revenue by annexation
for different reasons One for the taxes from a gravel mine, the other as I understand for future
residential and commercial growth The money isn't being spent on these roads to maintain them
properly Would think the Commissioners and Staff could come up with something short of
legislation which would make the towns keep these roads a priority Farmers have used these
roads, been spoiled with the good maintenance of the County, and the roads are in such bad
shape it is hard on vehicles and equipment
24 As for transportation - keep improving County roads and perhaps increase the number of roads
treated with dust retardant
25 You need to pay more attention to the roads that set already there, not to building more
26 stop putting in so many lights and stopsigns you ruin the flow of traffic in rural areas im sorry there
are bad accidents but we need better drivers not a stopsign every 2 miles As far as development
we need to slow down because western weld is going to become just like Lamer and Boulder
and this will become a blue county and you will all be out of jobs

Please share any other comments you have regarding development or transportation in Weld County
27 Focus on repairing the roads we already have, 1-25, hw_y 35, 402, they all need road repairs we
spend more money on adding side walks that are never used, to more stop lights and adding
more roads and taking farm land and farm homes from people but we don't take care of the roads
we already have We have pot holes every where, weeds that block sidewalks so people walk on
the roads, to constantly making wider roads but more than half the area is decorative displays with
flowers or grass Reduce this area focus on using less land, work at picking up trash in areas to
keep the county clean We have over populated this area and only looks like trash any more We
have given up on caring for what our environment looks like
28 Highway 14 East has improved so far Highway 34 needs to be reworked to handle truck traffic,
cars, and visitors
29 Hwy 14 between Ault and Ft Collins needs expansion
30 Traffic overall is getting more and more busy Can we PLEASE get a traffic light at 392 and 232
Also, I believe we need to widen 392 to incorp a middle turning lane or have 2 lanes of traffic for
each direction
31 Hwy 392 has become a dangerous roadway in the last 10 years It should be 2 lanes or at least
have more prominent stop signs, rumble strips, acceleration and deceleration lanes A stop light at
392 and WCR 23 should be high priority
32 No tolls on 1-25 corridor Develop alternate 4 lane routes north and south and east and west
33 Traffic signals need to be more intelligent in their programming and the overall traffic patterns of
the region need to be smarter
34 Roadway surfaces are deteriorating and slow traffic causes congestion on 65 MPH roads
Windsor to 34 on 257 is terrible It would be nice to have 257 bypass Windsor and some of the
other small towns, reducing so much stop and go
35 Can we remove the 85/34 intersection and start over That design was doomed from the
beginning _
36 Please stop the traffic lights on hwy 34 use interstate interchanges like on 23rd ave1
37 Frontage road needs better flow from berthoud to Windsor
Oil & Gas
1 Get the Oil company's back to work in Weld
2 So many are Cities are turning on oil and gas Long term the law should be changed to allow
Weld to keep all or more of the revenue share of oil activities in Weld Boulder says no to
everything and therefore should receive any benefits Their choice This includes are share
back even for the schools in their city and potentially their county
3 The biggest constraint on growth in Weld County is the boom and eventual bust of the Oil and
Gas industry
4 Oil and gas, as an industry, are not forever, so let's use those resources wisely
5 Many concerns about the impacts of oil and gas development in the county Putting large sights
next to schools and other developments Concerns about what happens when Oil and gas
companies go bankrupt and leave the taxpayers to clean up their mess especially when it is in
residential areas
Other
1 As it relates to Greeley, I find it frustrating that further development to the West is harming any
hopes of urban renewal downtown Why do we invest so much in brand new land when we
already have so many parts of our city in downtown that could be great with a little more
investment and care?
2 We appreciate how Weld has handled this guy's overreach We also appreciate the historical and
continued fiscal responsibility We do think all events should have not been canceled
3 The bus transit does not come by 47th aye and 29th st In Greeley Please rerout the bus system
to access more residential areas on the west side Also would like to see 37th st turned into a
second highway
7
Please share any other comments you have regarding development or transportation in Weld County
4 Communication goes a long way with the public
5 Keep busing running and tr as chicks flow
6 Keep Weld County free!
7 We need LightRail access to Denver from Weld County
8 Loveland to Greeley, and ft Collins and a monorail system
9 Consider partnering on transit service to connect communities within the County and to other
areas of the region
10 We need RTD, at least from the 1-25 corridor south and west
11 A public transportation infrastructure could also be valuable in connecting the regions within the
county (i e Link Carbon Valley to Johnstown)
12 This survey was poorly worded Requiring residents to rank items is fine, but use the words "Not
Important" as one of the options is not acceptable The residents of Weld County may think all of
the items listed are important and struggle to order them and providing an option that is "not
important" is really not acceptable Consider consulting with your communications department and
having other review your surveys before sharing them
13 Weld is a great county with commissioners that care
14 Transportation THERE IS NO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION in any part of Weld County, except
for the Greeley -Evans area The rest of Weld County feels isolated, ignored and lacks access to
the resources that Greeley enjoys Our roads are dangerously crowded and have pot holes and
are heavily traveled by heavy commercial traffic I see accidents daily caused by trucks crossing
Hwy 85
15 COMMUNICATION from Weld County is non-existent unless we are being fined or punished
16 Digital COMMUNICATION in rural areas is dangerously poor quality and prevents remote
learning, calling for help, etc
17 There needs to be some sort of bus option between Greeley and Loveland or Fort Collins
18 I would love to see Island Grove get an upgrade to potentially host large concerts or more local
rodeos Utilize the space' Also, I'm a huge sports person and I believe our area needs a large
indoor multi -sport facility that can be privately ran and can host both pickle ball, basketball, and
volleyball events
19 Buses to Fort Collins & CSU
20 It would be great to have more public transportation options along 1-25 between Denver and Ft
Collins
21 Weld County authorities have shown that they have little regard for the health, safety & well-being
of Weld County citizens They've shown this regarding allowing Oil & Gas extraction companies to
rampantly pollute & poison for the sake of money -making economy And by shirking
responsibilities to protect citizens & law enforcement regarding enforcement of the Red Flag law
And by sending kids back to classrooms without enforceable COVID-19 safety measures Until
our Commissioners correct their priorities, Weld County citizens are doomed
22 Leave the South Platte river alone!
23 Traffic is too heavy around schools When students are released and adults are leaving work it is
dangerous
24 The South East Weld area is forgotten when it comes to developing transportation and senior and
child development
25 overall I think Weld county does a great job overall
26 Thank you for considering my input, I am grateful to have the opportunity to share my concerns'
27 If possible, figure out how to make all county services more accessible to all county residents, not
just Greeley This could mean expanding how and when services are offered -- specifically, as
much online interaction as possible (save a trip into town) and offices are open not just Monday
through Friday, 8 00 a m to 4 00 p m Maybe even provide public transportation (even if it is
subsidized Uber or Lyft-type scenarios) in all areas, not just Greeley Expand each county
department's physical presence throughout various areas of the county (not just centralized in
Greeley)

28 I'd leave my car at home if I had other options to travel to other towns
29 generally pretty goad
30 There is no connection between Greeley and Longmont We are a major college town that only
hurts itself by not connecting to more of the state
31 I am on the border line of Welds County and Latimer However, my house and property is in
Welds County Since I live so far from Greeley I feel the county forgets about us It would be nice
if our commissioner in this area would reach out to us via a town meeting close to us and not in
Greeley Senator Buck sends out and email addressing what he has worked on Something like
this would be helpful I know that our needs are different from those in Greeley

► thank you for doing this survey
► less people + happier farmers and ranchers
► build new roads
► Everything seems to be allowed and approved in the county. please restrict and plan for th -
future
► Weld County (especially Greeley ) is growing so fast . With this happening it is vital that we re-
use buildings /structures instead of building new ones that take up precious land . Keep Denver
politics in Denver !
► Weld Co is being used to facilitate traffic to Denver by Fort Collins when they should be
making 1 -25 expansions to do this instead of paying our good farm ground
► more park, open space , better road , better planning
► keep 49 like it is please !
► The GET system is helpful for a number of citizens . The roads on H- 34 needed to be widened
and other alternative traffic routes opened up.
► County Rd 23 - Sand Hill Reservoir - Curve Speed , CR 23 Et CR 18
s As we grow, we need to plan for the shut down phase of the energy industry. The energ
heavily in debt and could leave us a mess.

Staff Observations:
Several people who completed surveys did not live in Weld County but said they owned land in Weld County (from Larimer and Morgan)
Several people commented on the good survey questions - said it really made them think (especially the questions asking them to prioritize)
Posters worked but not how we initially expected them too. They were more of a conversation starter - people stopped to look at them, which opened up disucssion
Public Comments:
Several people commented on the 51st State - is it still a thing (KGAB recently ran an online poll which has gained attention)
Many people expressed concern about water and the future of water in this county; what are the plans to ensure we have enough water to accompany the growth
Stop all growth. It's gone too far.
Oil and gas operations on county roads; trucks are tearing up the roads
Finish paving WCR 49
Update the shooting range on the Pawnee
29% taxation on vacant property too high; higher than a house in the city
Public Questions:
How is the money used from metro tax districts? Does any money go to county roads? Tyler Benninghoven 970-702 -1460
How to get lake water tested? People w/ livestock on property - planning/zoning violation (45 goats, cows, chickens, concrete debris) Richard George 970-396-1150
Public Concerns:
WCR 129 north out of Raymer needs paved; traffic out of control/congested
North 14 WCR 115 to the end 4-5 miles the ruts are bad
Road 155 not being maintained
Road 57 - no place for septic tank, too much residential splitting lots

What Worked :
Easels were great ! Map of county drew people in so we could start a conversation.
Paper survey worked perfectly for ag crowd. (it actually took less time to do the paper survey)
People liked swag and some were inclined to take survey based on receiving swag.
Giving away free candy helped draw attention.
Helpful being by restrooms, ATM, concessions — people often waited by our booth.
Having chairs for residents to sit in while filling out the survey was good .
What Didn't Work:
Table was too big for booth — smaller table next time? Prevented people from interacting with all materials
Survey being two-sided was a bit of a hinderance; a lot of people thought the survey was one-sided. Number questions to minimize confusion as well.
Group rankings where 1 is most important and 3,4, or 5 is least important. See marked up survey for proposed order of questions.
First question should be worded: Where is your primary residence or property located in Weld County ?
A lot of people asked what "unincorporated" meant. We should explain this on survey.
Instead of saying "other (list municipality)," it might be easier to say, "other (list town/city)."
iPads — didn't stay connected to network, screen protector was too thick. Hindered people's enthusiasm because they became frustrated with it.
People asked what "roadway infrastructure" meant — adding examples would be helpful .
If we keep paper surveys, we need at least three clipboards for times of heavy traffic.
Ideas for Future Events:
Infographic or flyer showcasing comp plan details — what it is, why we do it, key bullet points.
Consider putting survey online. Approx. six people didn't want to fill it out right then, they wanted to take it home and mail it back.

Next Steps:
Logo - we need to pick one
Link - do we keep it internal or make it live?
iPads - do we work with IT to see if these can be more reliable?
Survey - How many responses to the survey would be a success for public outreach? Or is success based on location - if so how many?
Survey - Are the responses what you need for the comp plan update?
Events: Attend existing events (pro/con) or create our own (pro/con) or both? How many?
Facebook Live: part of agreement with Slate; when and where would be good? (Mentimeter program; Slate can talk to us more about this)
Budget: Review and set? Future expenses (give aways, more printing possibily, special items for events such as for the Root Beer Float idea)
Develop communication plan for event promo, social, etc.

COUNTY SUBJECT: Ordinance 2020- 17 . In the matter repealing and
- reenacting, with amendments, Chapter 8 Public Works,
of the Weld County Code
According to Sec 8- 8- 10 of the Weld County Code, the Weld County Transportation Plan, as amended
(" Transportation Plan" ), is intended to summarize existing transportation conditions, recommend policy,
funding and roadway development for the County over a twenty-five-year planning horizon. The
Transportation Plan will serve an integral part in the decision-making process for County staff and elected
officials. The primary purpose of this Article is to provide technical information that can be used as a basis for
formulating transportation-related policies. The Transportation Plan will also be an extension of the
Comprehensive Plan focusing on basic travel characteristics unique to the County . The Transportation Plan is
found in Appendix 8-N in County Code and is intended to be used in concert with Chapter 22 of the Code. It
is recommended to update this plan when updating the Comprehensive Plan.
Updating the Transportation Plan is important in order to give decision makers the most up to date information
available. The Weld County Transportation Plan is used by staff, elected officials, as well as the public, and
should be updated with the comprehensive plan (Typically every ten years) . Weld County Public Works has
updated the 2035 Plan and is seeking adoption of the 2045 Transportation Plan to serve as the new
Transportation Plan. Included in this plan is the updated Functional Classification Map, as outlined in this
memorandum .
According to Sec . 8- 8- 10 of the Weld County Code, the Functional Classification Map is a component of the
Weld County Transportation Plan and should be updated every two years . The Functional Classification Map
groups county roads into functional classes of local , collector, and arterial roads according to the character of
service provided. For example, arterial roads provide greater mobility with fewer access points and
intersections, whereas local roads provide more access resulting in lower mobility .
The main purpose of the functional classification map is right-of-way preservation for future road
improvements. . Weld County ROW widths are characterized as follows :
Local roads : 60 ' of ROW
Collector roads : 80 ' of ROW
Arterial roads : 140 ' of ROW
Another purpose of the Functional Classification Map is for measuring setbacks for structures, which are
measured from the future ROW. This helps ensure fewer structures will need to be removed if and when the
road is widened.
Finally, the Weld County Code stipulates road impact fees on new development may only be spent on collector
and arterial roads, so it is important the Functional Classification Map be kept up to date .
The Functional Classification Map was last updated in May 2017 . The proposed changes to the map are
summarize below and represented on the attached map. The roads being downgraded are shown in yellow, and
the roads being upgraded are shown in teal . The green line on the map indicates the "County Highway," which
0.2O°7o
was designated as such by resolution on August 10, 2016, in accordance with House Bill 16- 1155 . The County
Highway collectively is WCR 49 , which extends north from I-76 to US 34, then becomes the Weld County
Parkway where it crosses the South Platte and Cache la Poudre Rivers and connects to WCR 47 at WCR 60 I/2
and extends north to State Highway 392 . The purpose of this designation is to protect the County ' s
infrastructure investment through maintenance similar to how the Colorado Department of Transportation
(CDOT) continues to own and maintain roads regardless of annexation by municipalities .
All other road designations would remain the same . The proposed functional classification changes are as
follows :
1 . Upgrade WCR. 19 between WCR 70 and WCR 74 from a collector to an arterial . WCR 19 is a major
roadway that connects the eastern portion of Windsor to WCR 74 . A large volume of traffic that utilizes
WCR 19 comes from SH 257 and SH 392 . WCR 19 is utilized as a bypass for traffic moving through
Windsor from the east, on SH 392 . This roadway currently functions as an arterial roadway and is
currently classified as a minor arterial in Windsor' s 2020 Transportation Plan.
2 . Upgrade WCR 35 between SH 392 and Ault city limits from a collector to an arterial . WCR 35 is a
major connection between the Towns of Ault and Eaton to the City of Greeley . WCR 35 is currently
an arterial south of SH 392, and is an arterial through the Cities of Greeley and Evans via 35th Ave .
This corridor is seen as a major corridor for the municipalities and is slated for substantial
improvements in the short and long term . Preserving additional right-of-way will ensure that future
projects along the corridor will be feasible. This roadway relieves some of the traffic from US 85 as a
north/south alternative for traffic .
3 . Upgrade WCR 66 between US 85 and WCR 47 from a collector to an arterial . WCR 66 in this location
serves as a major connection between the County Highway (WCR 47) and US 85 . With the closure of
WCR 64 ("O" Street) at US 85 , WCR 66 will see additional traffic. This upgrade is in conjunction
with the downgrade of WCR 64 east of US 85 and will serve as an alternative route.
4 . Upgrade WCR 1 between WCR 26 and WCR 38 from a collector to an arterial . WCR 1 in this area
serves as a major north/south connection. WCR 1 goes through many different jurisdictions and is
identified as an arterial roadway by the Town of Berthoud, Town of Erie, and City of Longmont. This
road currently serves as an arterial roadway and is extremely important as a north/south alignment in
a quickly growing part of the County .
5 . Upgrade WCR 6 between US 85 and CR 11 , as well as the portion of WCR 6 that Weld County
maintains west of I-25 from collector to arterial . This portion of WCR 6 is seeing a large increase in
traffic due to population growth in the southern portion of the County. This road is a major east/west
connection that links I-25 to US 85 with little interruptions . This route sees a large volume of truck
traffic and is currently functioning as an arterial . With the lack of good options for east/west
connections in the area, it is important to upgrade this roadway to assist in maintaining the functional
integrity of the road.
6 . Upgrade WCR 53 from I-76 to WCR 16 from local to collector. WCR 53 is the only road in the
immediate area that has an underpass at I-76 . This road is a collector north of I-76, so it is prudent to
upgrade this small section of roadway south of 1-76 for consistency.
7 . Downgrade WCR 51 from 1-76 to WCR 22 from collector to local . Downgrade WCR 59/WCR 18
from arterial to local . These roadways do not serve large population or employment centers at this
time, and if development occurs in the future, these roads may need to be re-evaluated for classification
if they are not annexed by a municipality .
8 . Downgrade WCR 26 from WCR 3 to WCR 5 , WCR 5 from WCR 26 to WCR 34, WCR 28 from WCR
5 to 1-25 from arterial to collector. These roads were classified as arterial due to the I-25 Parallel
Alternative study that connected WCR 7 to WCR 5 north of WCR 34 . This study has changed, and the
alignment as switched to just the east side of I-25. The downgrade for these roads is necessary due to
the change in planning for this area.
9. Downgrade WCR 64 ("O Street) from US 85 to WCR 43 from arterial to collector. This change is due
to the closure of WCR 64 on the east side of US 85 as a part of the railroad closures. The downgrade
is necessary due to the lack of connectivity for this roadway.
10. Downgrade WCR 37 from US 85 to SH 14 from collector to local. This change is due to the closure
of WCR 37 on the east side of US 85 as a part of the railroad closures. The downgrade is necessary
due to the lack of connectivity for this roadway.
11. Downgrade WCR 47 from SH 392 to SH 14 from arterial to local. Weld County Public Works has
determined the extension of the County Highway (WCR 49) is not feasible in this location due to
various issues/existing constraints with the proposed route. Alternative north/south arterial alignments
in this area will be looked at in the future.
Notification was mailed to property owners adjacent to the proposed arterial and collector road changes. Staff
recommends approval of the proposed changes to the Functional Classification Map, which is Appendix 8-O
of the Weld County Code and adoption of the 2045 Transportation Plan.

VITA' / re : _
JU ;` 1
.4.
TO: Board of County Commissioners
DATE: October 19, 2020
FROM: Evan Pinkham, Transportation Planner
SUBJECT: Ordinance 2020-17: In the matter repealing and
reenacting, with amendments, Chapter 8 Public Works,
of the Weld County Code
The only change between first and second reading of the functional classification map is the addition of a
purple hatched area located west of O Street and south of SH 392 in the vicinity of the Town of Windsor and
City of Greeley. The purpose of this hatched area is to provide all the communities, including Severance and
Eaton the opportunity to develop a more realistic future east/west connection in this area.
All other road designations presented in the first reading of Ordinance 2020-17 will remain the same. The
proposed change is to add the hatched "Future Alignment to be Determined" to the Functional Classification
map and in the legend.
I'm available to answer any questions you may have.
