Dear Captain Coe:
The City of Fort Collins has recently annexed Interstate 25 right-of-way
located from north of Prospect Road to the Colorado and Southern Railroad,
where it was contiguous to existing city limits (See attached annexation plat).
The annexation was a "house keeping" action to bring the right of way, pres-
ently in the Urban Growth Area, into the city. The process will assure that
parcels on the east side of the Interstate will be annexed in an orderly
progression rather than skipping over the Interstate.
Due to the sparse development in this area and its remoteness from currently
defined patrol beats, Fort Collins Police Services does not believe appropriate
traffic enforcement and traffic accident investigation could be provided on this
section of the Interstate. It is our request that the Colorado State Patrol
continue to provide these services, until such time that future development
warrants the consistent deployment of city officers to that area.
Unfortunately the annexation was processed along with an introductory letter
that erroneously indicated the city would be taking over traffic enforcement of
the annexed area. We apologize for the confusion, and hope that we can rectify
the situation so that the enforcement areas of each of our respective jurisdic-
tions is appropriate and clearly defined.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Please contact me if you need
additional information to respond.
Sincerely,
Linda Ripley
Project Planner
