The problem will not be solved

It won't. From 1995 until about 2001 (or so) I went out to Denver and then west, most times to Vail. What they were doing was a recipe for disaster. The commuting suburbs were extending to Golden and Breckinridge and further west. The fragile environment was "saved" one scrub pine at a time, but ignoring the big picture. At the time, it was all about not building highways unless there was a bike trail next to them. HUH??? When civilization comes tumblin' down, there is an incomprehensible number of Illuminati retreats in protected areas surrounding the ski resorts. Water is an unsolvable problem with the needs of ski resorts, the needs of the population which that area can't sustain, and requirements that water gets to CA and other places that don't have adequate supply.

I never did "get" the charm of Vail. In an overpriced hotel, nestled next to a noisy highway and rotary, overcrowded with buildings with fake charm, overpricing, snobby people, and environment so dry it isn't even pretty, it's all there. The monorail idea makes sense. The mess that the planners made of things does not.

They added a single toll lane to I-70. Colorado is doing that across the States, adding toll lanes. They add revenue generators and taxpayers are pissed that they already pay high taxes but the money only goes to creating more revenue generation lanes and very expensive bike paths.
