Adams County approves IGA with Thornton to improve 128th Avenue and Riverdale Road intersection near schools
Summary
The Board approved an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Thornton to modify and maintain the 128th Avenue/Riverdale Road intersection, citing school-area safety and traffic flow concerns.
Adams County commissioners approved an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Thornton on June 23 to make improvements at the 128th Avenue and Riverdale Road intersection.
Renee Valdez of Public Works presented the IGA and outlined the planned improvements; commissioners who pulled the item from the consent calendar emphasized the safety implications for two nearby schools and the importance of reducing congestion for county events at Riverdale Regional Park. One commissioner said the partnership would "make some improvements to the lives of people who have to drop their kids off at these schools" and called the project a public-safety and quality-of-life priority.
A motion to approve the IGA was made and seconded; the board approved the resolution during the meeting. The resolution authorizes the county to share costs with the City of Thornton to modify and maintain the intersection; specific funding shares and construction timelines were not detailed in the spoken portion of the record.
