Traffic Pattern Changes

The CDOT evaluation states this intersection will be just a small jut on highway 34.  Consider though traffic going east and west is going at highway speed including trucks already utilizing this route to get from I76 to Highway 71 south.  Stop signs are designated  on Road 29 and highway 71.  See the long coal train in the background?  That is because the tracks are frequented by long slow moving coal trains blocking road 29.  When coal trains block road 29 - 1 minute earlier or later that same train then blocks hwy 34 causing traffic to back up for blocks.   Add a few school bus routes, a few rural mail carriers and lets say an auction that draws hundreds of people to that very corner at least twice a month and remember 1 truck every 4 minutes.  Only 850 feet of this project are scheduled for modification or improvement.
