The number of gravel trucks currently using this intersection is absurd. Large trucks are not able to stay <br /> within their own traffic lane while turning at this intersection which backs up traffic waiting for trucks to turn. <br /> Traffic in every direction is effected by this. Often these trucks travel at high speeds with little regard for <br /> members of the community,their pets and wild life who live in this area. Numerous animals have been hit and <br /> killed at this intersection. Those of us who love to ride our bikes are fearful to do so. A bicyclist lost his life <br /> this past year to one of these trucks just down the road from the gravel pitting operation at CR 18 &25. <br /> The impact on wildlife by this operation will be detrimental! There are many families of eagles,hawks and <br /> herons that live along the river bottom and on my land in the trees right along the proposed road by which <br /> they intend to travel out of their property. Wildlife has very little space in which to live that is not impacted <br /> by the four current gravel pitting operations in this area. <br /> The proposed road is within feet from my home which will create direct health issues related to air pollution <br /> caused by truck exhaust and dust. Numerous trucks will be backed up next to my home waiting for long <br /> periods of time to get onto the intersection. Noise pollution will also negatively impact my family and all <br /> animals living here. <br /> Northern Colorado Constructors can exit this operation from the south of the property if they choose to do so. <br /> I feel this application should be required to go through a formal review to evaluate what can be done to reduce <br /> the impact of this operation. <br /> Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter! <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Veronica C trell <br /> 2 .�- <br />
