What could possibly go wrong?

Can always review the history of the "Big Dig" in Boston to see what a timeline might be:

"Planning began in 1982; the construction work was carried out between 1991 and 2006; and the project concluded on December 31, 2007"

Hoping you guys enjoy you're new CDOT project!

He's just grumpy because he misses Ikea.

They're the same crew, or closely related to the crowd who scammed everyone in to building DIA. They didn't name Pena Blvd after Fast Freddy, They named it because it runs through his property A lot of politicians made a decent profit off that land out in noweheresville.

A lot of people forget -- or don't know -- how hard Pena put the full court press on to get final approval. I was attending tech classes at Lowry AFB when Pena and Romer had a town hall to [strike]lie[strike] assure residents how great the new airport was going to be and how it was in Denver's best interests. Up until that session, I think the Denver Post was figuring it was 50-50 whether or not they would get voter approval to go ahead with DIA.

Ha! I miss Ikea about as much as I miss construction on I-70. The nearest interstate is over 100 miles away!

Maybe CDOT will add a "safe space" in that nice, park-like setting over I-70...that's gonna take decades to build!

I think this gig is too easy and way too entertaining for you.



If you're unarmed, you are a victim

There was an alternate plan to re-route I-70 up around 270 to 76 and widen and improve the highway as needed. Open up the neighborhoods on both sides of the viaduct back to the way they were before it was built. But no they decide on this major cluster fuck instead.

Just remember if the transportation bill is sent to the voters vote a big NOT.

That bill, with the bonding, is a bad idea. Colorado contractors are already close to capacity, and dumping billions in a short period of time will inflate prices, giving us less bang for the buck. It would be better to just pay as revenue is raised.

The CCA will debate this, but go look at CDOT bidding. They used to have 5 to 7 bidders per project, now 1 to 3. Aggregate pits are rationing and no new pits are being approved in the metro area. Aggregates would need to be trucked in to meet demand.
