JeffCo Board of County Commissioners,
Please find the attached PDF file containing our community submission of 5 projects for your consideration for ARPA funding.
To assess community support for these projects we sent an email with the attached PDF document on Monday 2/6 to every neighbor along Shine Road that we have an email for. Total emails
sent were to 89 people.
The 85 responded as of Thursday afternoon are tallied as follows:
Project # 1 = 85 Yes (100%)
Project # 2 = 85 Yes (100%)
Project # 3 = 83 Yes (98%)
Project # 4 = 85 Yes (100%)
Project # 5 = 65 (76%)
On Projects #1 & #2 there is unanimous concern for the integrity of Shine Road and to have the shore armoring/bulkheads under the slide areas repaired and/or added as necessary to ensure
the long term viability of our community road.
On Project #3 (moving fog lines toward the center of Shine Rd): The consistent feedback is that we need to do whatever we can to reduce excessive speeds on Shine Rd.
On Project #4 (Safety improvements at SR104/Shine/Teal Lake intersection) - From comments received this is considered the highest priority. We've had 40 WSP documented accidents (2
fatalities, 4 serious injuries), many more near-misses and much terror at this intersection. If having our Shine neighbors document their experiences at this intersection would help
to confirm the intense demand for change and improvements at this intersection then we would be happy to request community input.
On Project #5 (Hick's park beach restoration) there were 20 that did not vote for it. Most seemed to be concerned that any $$ that went toward Project 5 would not be available for the
other projects 1-4. If there are funds available for the beach restoration at Hick's County Park, that won't take away from funding of the other 4 projects, then I believe most of these
20 would vote yes.
Thank you for your consideration of the attached 5 projects
