Access Control Plan for US 34 Business Route
Project Kickoff Meeting Set for October 5, 2011
Fort Collins, Colorado—The North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization (NFRMPO) is pleased to announce the project initiation of the US 34 Business Route Access Control Plan (ACP). The plan will cover the stretch of US 34 Business between State Highway 257 and 35th Avenue in Greeley. (The Business Route is also known as 10th Street.) The NFRMPO will partner with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), the City of Greeley, and Weld County to prepare this plan.
The goals are to enhance safety on US 34 Business for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians, to keep traffic flowing freely as volumes increase, to accommodate transit stops and circulation, and to provide the appropriate level of access to the properties adjacent to the highway.
An Access Control Plan helps define: the existing and future access locations, including the type of access (e.g. various arrangements of right- and left-turn movements); which access points are likely to be signalized or to remain un-signalized; features of current and future interchanges; and modifications needed at existing street and driveway access points.
An open house will be held between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Wednesday, October 5, 2011. The meeting will take place at the Greeley Family FunPlex at 1501 65th Ave. Property and business owners are encouraged to attend to learn more about this plan and give feedback.
