What does it say? (My emphasis in red bold)



So the managed (toll) lanes are new additional lanes but existing lanes will be rehabbed too. You will be able to use the rehabbed non-toll lanes, you'll just have to contend with the traffic from everyone else who doesn't want to pay the toll.

I haven't dug in any further but I'll bet the "Friends of the Colorado PUC" has strong ties to unions, environmentalists, and other nutcase lying friends of Bloomberg/Obama/etc. (whoops, sorry that's pretty redundant).
FYI "Friends of the Colorado PUC" is not contributed by Bloomberg or Obama its the Koch brothers along with energy company's A.K.A the D's worst enemy. Is it good information, no, not at all. Its big money looking for more money. This truly is a R response, even though it does not sound like it, to the D's. My guess is they are trying to get the boulderites up in arms and effectively so if you think it was a D's proposal.

US 36 is a money pit, i can not truly remember a full year it was not under construction and i am a native. I have no clue what they are doing, maybe helping the albino humping toad or something but it is always too little to late when it is for the commuters. To turn the clock back 10 years on this abomination of a highway by turning it from a 3 and 2 lane to a 2 and 1 lane is a joke, did i paid for countless years of construction only to get charged again when i do not want to be in a traffic jam? I hope not because i feel money is owed to me for the next 50 years if it is.
