I don't know that it is. The US 36 project is going to cost $312 million which is not unreasonable. However, I only got the notice of these open houses this afternoon.
Perhaps we will have the opportunity to find out. Starting today, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and Ames Granite are holding a series of open houses about construction on US 36 that includes adding an HOV/ BRT lane and a commuter bikeway between Federal and 88th Street. All meetings are from 6:30 to 8:30. There are no presentations, so people can come any time.

It is no surprise that the Boulder meeting is the only one with decent advance notice. Thank you to whoever in city or county staff or local activist who is making sure that people in Boulder can actually be informed. I am going to be traveling from Lakewood to go to that session.

I can't seem to find clarification on this, but I think that the plans currently involve not building the center boarding islands. Local buses will have to cross 4 lanes of traffic to reach the slip-ramps, meaning that only the express buses can fully take advantage of the HOT lane.
Helen, have you heard more about if this is true or not? If so, it would seem to be more of a highway widening project than a transit project.
