RELEASE AT WILL
MEETINGS IN FIVE CITIES
CONSIDER INTERCHANGE POLICY
How should interchanges be added to Colorado's Interstate and limited
access state highways? The answer has never been simple, and a new policy on "Review
and Approval of Interchanges" is being discussed at meetings throughout the state.
The new policy will offer guidelines for the Highway Commission, the
Department of Highways, local governments and developers. It recognizes that the
integrity of limited access highways must be preserved, in terms of serving through trips,
but sets the standards for considering local access needs that develop.
The first section of the policy sets forth essential criteria, the con-
ditions that must be met by a local government in order for a proposed interchange to
be considered for funding. Other sections deal with sharing costs, setting priorities
and accelerating construction.
The first meeting was held in Grand Junction on November 19. Other
meetings are as follows.
Interested persons may attend the meetings or may phone Mr. Bill Stringfellow
at the Highway Department in Denver, (303) 757-9266, with questions.
