The north Denver metro area once again gets nothing with the announcement of Governor Ritter’s latest picks for transportation stimulus funds.  Despite having one of the most congested sections of I-25, our needs continue to be brushed aside by the state.  Click here to see what projects did make the latest list.  I was told [...]
