Jefferson County changed the member of the I-70 Mountain Coalition from Maria D'Andrea, a Jeffco employee, to one of the county commissioners, Faye Griffin. Maria D'Andrea is now an alternate along with another Jeffco County Commissioner, Casey Tighe, also a county commissioner. Casey Tighe was elected to that position in November, ending a term where all the commissioners were Republicans.
The I-70 Mountain Coalition is supposed to be researching rail and bus alternatives to travel within the mountains, but it looks like they are making sure that those efforts are unsuccessful.
From the same county news release, Jefferson County just signed a $194,900 contract to try to find money for more roads. The county also wants to raise sales taxes to support C-470, a road which was not supposed to need a public subsidy.
Throughout this news brief, transportation is used to mean roads only.
