 Title

A RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH HIGH-TRAFFIC HAZARD ROUTES IN COMMERCE CITY

Body

Summary and Background Information:  The Commerce City Revised Municipal Code (“CCRMC”) § 11-1202 allows the City to establish zones with a history of traffic violations or other hazardous conditions.  The City’s traffic violation data supports the establishment of designated zones due to past enforcement measures taken by the Commerce City Police Department in 2022-2023 in these areas. Once established, violators will be subject to double fines to deter dangerous driving practices. The relevant areas were discussed at the October 23, 2023 study session. The maps are attached.
