The improvement of Purcell north of the roundabout adding a turn lane to stop people from passing on the shoulder has created a new problem of people using the center turn lane to pass in. Sooner or later there is going to be a huge crash and probably death as people using the turn lane to pass in are inevitably speeding. Something needs to be added to the center turn lane to stop or discourage this behavior. Center islands at the road intersections, break away reflective posts or something of that sort.

We know that this house is 18 years old and the previous owner stated that he could not get Pueblo Metro to work with him.
My husband Rory and I are concerned about the Roads and the ditch continuing to need work. We do not know if it is the responsibility of Pueblo Metro District to help us work on this issue. Also, we have the concern about the weeds close to the ditch area on E Cholla St.
We would appreciate if someone would contact us so that maybe we can work together to improve the area around our home or get some advice.
We are working diligently to improve our land and home.

Many are upset about the traffic light at Hwy 50 and Purcell. The left turn lane of West bound Hwy 50 at Purcell will be backed up about a football field long and from the time the light turns green to orange is literally 11 seconds. It will only allow 3 cars to legally turn before it turns orange. I have observed numerous vehicles blow through the orange and red light every time the light turns. This corner is notorious for accidents and it's all blamed on people blowing through red lights. Can this be fixed?

Grading Buckboard Ave North of Purcell. The road has been degraded since before completion of the newly renovated Purcell. The road is severely wash-boarded. Washboard roads often are more than a nuisance because they can encourage unsafe driving speeds and damage suspension systems.. It also creates a safety problem, because a car or truck that doesn't experience full contact with the ground might not be able to brake properly. It seems this road has been forgotten as it has not seen attention for well over 6 months. The road is down to a single lane down the center is some areas.

Take a look at our trash along our roads. There is so much of it!!! Let's clean it up. Set dates for all the brave nonprofits to make a difference. It will take a lot of citizens supported by our PW trucks to get it done. CELEBRATE! Have a party at one of our parks or VFW afterwards.
Builders!!! Look east of each site and see all the trash!!! Mandate covers on their roll off dumpsters.
Trash pick up - Mandate the power of the bungy cord on all trash cans.

A short trail connects the Sierra Vista trail with Pueblo West high school and W Capistrano Ave. It is located about 400β south of W Spaulding Ave. There is a concrete bridge crossing the stream, but apparently the culvert is blocked forcing water to flow over the bridge. It becomes slippery with ice in winter and slippery from algae growth in summer. Would you please arrange to have the culvert cleared of obstruction to allow the stream to flow under the bridge? It will make the trail a safe route to school.

As residents living on Purcell Boulevard since 2011 in Pueblo West we have found the newly constructed turn lane has been used multiple times as a passing lane for speeding vehicles. We have three small children at home and find the circumstances to be very dangerous for a residential neighborhood. I know weβre not alone in this idea of it being a danger because there are always people honking at the vehicles that are passing them in the turn lane when they go by our house. That and there are always policeman parked along Purcell Boulevard waiting to catch people speeding.
I think the solution is pretty simple. Just install speed bumps or flexible delineators at the right locations in the turn lane of Purcell Boulevard.
It is a matter of time before a pedestrian or bicyclist is hit on this road by someone speeding or using the turn lane as a passing lane.

Simple idea is to have TRUCK ROUTES. Hazardous Materials truck routes. North McCulloch Blvd has uncontrolled truck traffic with its homes facing N. McCulloch Blvd and a grade school with a paved trail. Purcell Blvd has very few homes facing it south of the roundabout. which should be a truck route if there should be a truck route connecting I 25 and US 50 through our community. Vocal about it since 2016, I know the past Director of Community Development saw what we saw on North McCulloch Blvd. I saw our past Public Works Director in Florence who has established truck routes. Walsenburg has truck routes. Pueblo West allows truck to go all over even on our crumbling cross roads. From US 50 and Pueblo Blvd should have NO TRUCKS coming across Pueblo West to I 25 but it does... jpo

I'm curious as to why the speed limit on South Purcell is 45 MPH in a residential area. Colorado State law directs that residential areas must have a speed limit of 35 MPH. The speed limit needs to be changed to meet state law. There are no sidewalks on S. Purcell which makes residents to walk alongside the road which can be unsafe to these pedestrians. There is a senior care facility and a church in this 45 MPH zone. This should be a no brainer to change speed limit on South Purcell.
