Sometimes the things people say can be very amusing and such is the case this week with the latest from Northglenn-Thornton Sentinel columnist Vi June.  Like all of the regular columnists at the Sentinel, the former state representative and mayor of Westminster has a left-tilt. This week she takes a very direct jab at Thornton [...]

This is one I came across a few months ago and kept forgetting to write about.  The north area has long been on the short stick of funding from the state and the Colorado Department of Transportation.  Now comes the little nugget that CDOT has never even planned to add additional general purpose lanes to I-25 [...]

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 [...]
