Colorado Municipal League. The task force may include other interested organi-
zations in the future. The group seeks formal, continuing review of each
year's map.
The Department of Highways has mailed letters to the state's 63 counties,
many state organizations, regional councils of government and some larger commu-
nities requesting comments. The agency's intent is to print a revised 1984 map
during December; it should be available to the public in January. The 1985
Travel Map should reflect many additional concerns expressed by participating
organizations.
