Central 70

T Rex was a disaster and when it was finished, it wasn't enough of a fix to make anything better for the time they were done with it.

These dumbasses need to build for the future, not for current growth. Build it HUGE now and it will serve us well for years into the future. Don't waste time and money and aggravation to build an 8 lane highway. Build it 12 lanes and fix shit for a while to come.

My two cents anyways.

Problem is all the people who own all the land already. Also, do we want to be able to support enough traffic for a 12 lane? It could be argued either way I'm sure. Build it and they'll come, or they're coming anyway so might as well build it.

I think getting over a certain size does bring it's own problems. Really I think what is killer for Denver metro, is how few major thoroughfares there are. You have mostly typical suburban 2 lane each way roads or less. On the west side you at least have 6th ave/70/76, but other than that, It's i25 or bust. (or massive detour around the area on e470)

Just compared to a few places, seems silly there are not at least one other 6 lane artery going north thru south.

I've heard that complaint from other out of staters.

And about $5m is going to homeowners along there. Home upgrades on taxpayer dime.

But then you can't make more $$$ later on the taxpayers backs!

A drop in the bucket when compared to the total cost of the project.

Are they going to pass up an opportunity to collect tolls on the proposed highway?

And, it directly affects my daily commute. As soon it it begins to constrict traffic, (if not sooner), I will be selling out, quitting my job,and relocating.

I would like to think they'll miss my tax base, but I'm not that naive.

Unfortunately, Denver has effectively killed Colorado.

Of course not. In that rendering, they have nicely separated express lanes.
