Aurora and Arapahoe County officials have promised to add interim safety measures to an intersection in their shared jurisdiction after a resident brought a history of safety issues at the intersection to light.
Jason Cline, who owns AnderLoch Fitness and Nutrition operated at Arapahoe County Fairgrounds, has seen at least two crashes every month at the intersection of Quincy Avenue and Harvest Road as he goes to and from work.
Cline started a petition on April 18, calling on Arapahoe County and the city of Aurora to fix the issue.
Two of the crashes have involved Cline’s clients, who were injured and had their vehicles totaled, Cline wrote in the petition.
Currently, the intersection is a one-way stop and the speed limit on Quincy is 45 mph, he said. Oftentimes, given the location of Quincy in a rural area, people are speeding.
According to city of Aurora spokesperson Michael Brannen, there is an established intergovernmental agreement giving the county responsibility for Quincy Avenue from Gun Club Road to Monaghan Road, but the city and county are working together to improve the intersection.
