COLORADO 81050 <br />(719)384-7597 <br />FAX (719)384-llO11 <br /> <br />DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTAllOH <br /> <br />April 24, 2000 <br /> <br />Mr. Darryl Schulz <br />Public Works Director for Otero County <br /> <br />Darryl, <br /> <br />I strongly encourage and support Otero County's interest in pursuing monies for drainage improvement <br />projects in the Rocky Ford and Manzanola areas, along the Highway 50 corridor. <br /> <br />Historically, these areas on Highway 50, 202, and Hwy 50/71 junction have had flooding occur several <br />times yearly, requiring crews to be dispatched to flag, detour traffic and close roads. The generalized <br />flooding causes damage to business, residential, agricultural, and commerce properties resulting in <br />costly repairs. Wtth a joint cooperative effort from all government entities involved we can reduce or <br />eliminate some of these problems. It is my opinion that the work being proposed will greatly benefit all <br />concerned and alleviate most of the drainage problems we are experiencing at these locations. <br /> <br />If! can be of further assistance, please contact me at (719) 384-7597. <br /> <br />~?Ea w~ <br /> <br /> <br />Hwy Mtce.
