The Colorado Department of Transportation has plans to rebuild and expand Interstate 270 in the next 10 yearsBut those pesky Union Pension bailouts keep gobbling up all the money. What to do. What to do.

There are thousands of cars and trucks idling on I-70 every weekend for hours. Can’t be good for emissions. There’s also little room to expand highways in the mountains without moving many tons of rock.
This isn’t an easy problem, and that’s just one little part of it. Being 30 years behind on infrastructure doesn’t help either.

People are constantly moving to Colorado. The 6 county Denver metro area is getting major population increases. Eventually, there may be limits to how many more building will be constructed such as to limit population density. Ooops, not a chance. The politicians want more population such as to get more tax money. Ever increasing population is the goal of those in charge.

“Whether the state succeeds largely comes down to whether it can build new lane miles and not see them filled too.”
Hey, C470 along the hogback was awesome for about 2 years. Then it wasn’t. Haven’t seen it in a few years but I bet it’s really bad by now. At least there’s room to add lanes there.

Compared to natural cycles, any smug, virtue-signaling plan of the Climate Cretins is as effective as a chain-link fence to stop mosquitoes (a.k.a. an anti-virus mask).

People are constantly moving to Colorado.
I'm native Coloradoan from the Northern front-range area. But the liberals from California moved in and drove us out. Last month we moved to Florida and couldn't be happier. For Colorado, as soon as they get rid of TABOR, it will be a full blown shit hole like all the other liberal states. The liberals destroy everything they touch.

Yep, that’s what worshipping the pot get ‘em. Damn dope fiends.
No offense to dope fiends, because I am one, I’m just on hiatus until I get past the random testing years of my life.

I don’t know what happened, but my previous post was meant for your #5.

And Arvada (suburb on the west side of Denver) is looking at building an Amazon distribution center.
How’s that going to work with their little greenie highways?

Just plant a few trees and then widen the highways and call it even.

The local at TV news yesterday said the Arvada site was shot down by City Council and Amazon will not build there...may keep looking for another site.

If a state has natural beauty and is doing well economically, people will move to it.
It’s a double-edged sword and always will be. Want less people? Have a cruddy state.

Modern vehicles emit such clean emissions that a person can’t even gas themselves to death in the garage anymore. They can idle all they want.

I agree, natural beauty such as Colorado any where near the hills, valleys, mountains, bodies of water, will attract the people. I would say though, population density and greedy politicians are a major problem. I say fewer people per square mile. And now I will look for wild mills to tilt. Just like Don Quixote.

Colorado still has some great places to live that will stay great for a while yet. They are nowhere near the Front Range of course. You have to be far enough from there that day trippers won’t come.
