PING.

Here’s one for the Colorado ping list

Given these factors, Unite North Metro Denver "proposed an alternative in place of the elevated highway," the report goes on. "A tree-lined boulevard, with roundabouts instead of interchanges, would re-establish the community grid, free up land for development and raise property values."

Yeah, a tree-lined boulevard with roundabouts in place of a major highway?!? Probably with traffic lights every 300 feet. I'm sure that would speed the commuters to their destinations. (BTW-I absolutely hate roundabouts.)

Why is it that dEnver has the worst drivers that expect the best roads while the rest of the state is stuck with bad roads and high taxes that go to denver.

The governor change up is a gay guy from Boulder. You want the Governor to do your bidding?! Those who oppose the widening of I-70 are stupidly dumb. The neighborhoods near the project are poverty stricken crap holes. When the project is finished, everything near it will be much better.

I do not understand. It seems to me that the neighborhoods would be much safer with the traffic diverted onto a freeway rather than on surface streets. Wherever there are insufficient thoroughfares, traffic will go through residential neighborhoods. That can’t be good for safety, crime prevention, or property values.

When I was stationed in San Diego in the ‘90s, those red left turn arrows at the intersections drove me up the wall.
When I came home to Colorado, the damn red arrows started showing up here.
As well as the roundabouts that I saw overseas.
Ugh!!!

They love them here in Northern Colorado. It’s so European.

Driving around/thru Denver is a freaking death trap.

Roundabouts eliminate traffic lights. The rest of the plan my really suck. I don’t know. But roundabouts DO eliminate traffic lights.

Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)

Colorado must have more money than they need to moving into this area.

Big push by the rich leftists in Dallas to tear down the expressway through town so that travelers have to detour through the ghetto to get from Oklahoma to Houston.

They have the backing of developers who want to get their hands on the real estate.

Roundabouts can be very beneficial when two two lane roads cross. They are a mess that causes wrecks when multilane highways cross. Just look at some of the non-Russian European wreck videos on YouTube.

Driving around/thru Denver is a freaking death trap.

I hate driving through Denver. There was NO street planning in this town whatsover. Of course it's really several cities that overlap one another but you can't get on a North-South street and expect it to go very far before it deadends into something else. There are no easy ways to get from point A to point B without getting funneled to a high volume freeway.

I now have family-relation reasons to be visiting Denver on more frequent occasions. I guess I will be learning what is most aggravating to drivers in Denver.

Activist tripe.

Roundabouts can be very beneficial ....

A firefighter sold people in a neighborhood in Boulder that they no longer had fire protection as the firetrucks could not get through the circle jerk, roundabout.
