RELEASE AT WILL ( u
COMMISSION WORKSHOP CONSIDERS-' "
"YEAR 2001 PROJECT"
State Highway Commissioners held a day-long special meeting in Denver
July 17 to discuss long range planning for the state highway system. Department
of Highways administrators and staff members have been working with commissioners
to develop a forecast of highway needs between now and the year 2001 .
The meeting began with a lengthy discussion of additions and deletions
to the state highway system. Sixteen road segments were selected for specific
discussion, from a list of 55 possible system additions and 51 possible deletions.
Twenty two communities were listed for consideration of bypasses, based on
requests from local officials, commissioners or the six District Engineers.
Commissioners reviewed the technical criteria which help determine where
road widening is justified, along with criteria for determining road surface
conditions. The intent is to develop a Year 2001 Highway Forecast, which
could be formally adopted as early as December of this year.
A public involvement process is part of the planning; in fact, the first
of four briefings was held the afternoon of July 17 at offices of the Denver
Regional Council of Governments. Other meetings were scheduled for July 22 with
the Larimer-Weld Council of Governments in Greeley, for July 25 with the Pueblo
Area Council of Governments, and for August 8 in Grand Junction with Mesa
County and city officials. Public meetings will be scheduled in the future.
