STREET AND ALLEY: A complaint was
reviewed from a citizen who fell,
breaking his arm, after stepping in a
hole in the alley between 1st and 2nd
Streets and Graefe and First Avenue.
The alley has been graded since this
incident. The Street and Alley
committee will survey this alley.
Priorities will be considered when
preparing the 1992 Budget for this alley
surfacing.
Clerk Lesh reported that a citizen had
requested a Slow-Children Playing sign
be placed in the alley behind the Merry
Go Round and Senior Center. There are
families with small children living in
apartments, and the traffic is heavy and
fast moving. Also the Slow-Children
Playing signs had been placed on hold
for 5th Street and First Avenue, as it.

HIGHWAY Clerk Lesh reported that she met with
COMMISSIONERS with the State Highway Commissioners and
MEETING Weld County Commissioners, July 31,
1991 . Clerk Lesh presented requests for
Highway 85 from Mile Post 279 to Mile
Post 283, . 5 mile south of Ault through
. 5 mile south of Pierce to be brought up
to two lane standards comparable to the
stretches to the north and south of
these mile posts. Drainage is not
adequate. During precipitation
treacherous driving conditions exist.
r
The priority request was to take down
the crown on Highway 14(Main Street)
between Mile Post 154 and 153. The two
blocks immediately West of the
intersection of Highway 14 and B5 are
priority. The high crown is causing
drainage problems; the water doesn't
drain properly, ice stands in the
gutters all winter causing deterioration
of the curb and gutter. Both projects
need to be resurfaced after preparation
work has been executed. The truck
traffic on both Highway 85 and Highway
14 will greatly increase with the
eminent opening of the landfill west of
Ault. Driving conditions would be
enhanced, improved appearance will
result, which in return will aid in the
economic development that Ault is
striving for.
George Hall, State Highway Commissioner
stated that work on Highway 85 will
commence the summer of 1992. The County
Commissioners felt that funding for
Highway 14 could come out of
maintenance fund, rather than having to
wait for the five year plan. Highway 14
between Ault and Sterling will be
widened and resurfaced just like the
improvement between Ault and Fort
Collins. Form 4507 was filed with the
Board of County Commissioners requesting
these improvements.
Discussion was held concerning the
problem of semis parking on Third Avenue
and causing potential damage to the
pavement. Officer Hinz is to address
this situation. The weight restriction
