Sec. 8-8-10. Weld County Transportation Plan and Functional Classification Map.
A. 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 of
this Chapter and is intended to be used in concert with Chapter 22 of this Code. It is
recommended to update this plan annually and revise it every five (5) years.
B. The Functional Classification Map is a component of the Transportation Plan and is the
process by which County roads are grouped into classes according to the character of
service provided. The purpose of grouping the roads into classes helps identify width of
future right-of-way and locations for future right-of-way reservation. It is recommended to
update the Functional Classification Map every two (2) years. The Functional
Classification Map is found in Appendix 8-O of this Chapter.
