By minute motion, authorize All Traffic Data Services, Inc. of Wheat
Ridge, Colorado to collect machine traffic count data at 13

Discussion:
The process of the City assuming jurisdiction over State Route (Highway) 111
and State Route (Highway) 74 is expected to be completed in July 2006. Once
the relinquishment is completed, the City will be responsible for the maintenance
and operation of these roadways. The development and implementation of
effective signal timing and coordination is necessary to provide for the safe and
orderly movement of traffic along these corridors. Having accurate, detailed and
up-to-date vehicle count data is essential in the development of effective traffic
signal timing.
