Stage 1 Fire Restrictions enacted

Effective beginning 12:01 a.m. Friday, June 12, 2026, until further notice. These restrictions apply to all private land and BLM managed public lands within the boundaries of the Grand Junction Field Office. For more information visit the Fire Restrictions webpage.

The Board of Mesa County Commissioners approved a contract to buy the property at 3249 E Road in Clifton for $315,000 during their Aug. 27 public hearing. The purchase of this property is necessary to safely complete the County’s 32 1⁄2 Road Corridor and E Road Corridor Improvement Projects — and will allow Mesa County to connect 32 ½ Road with E Road.

The connection between 32 ½ Road and E Road will enhance accessibility to the Clifton Community Campus, Rocky Mountain Elementary School, and the Riverfront Trail and improve safety for pedestrians and road users in the surrounding area.

The purchase will also eliminate safety hazards for anyone who may have occupied the house on the property, which has been involved in seven collisions caused by drivers failing to stop at the stop sign at the 32 ½ Road and E Road intersection.

We are excited to get this project going, making Mesa County roads safer for all users!
