Pueblo Area Council of Government is seeking comments on their transportation plan

2035 Long Range Transportation Plan
Thursday, June 27 at 5:30 to 7:00 pm
Pueblo Municipal Justice Center
200 S. Main Street
Pueblo
Bus: None
Routes 2 and 4 run by this location a little after 6:00 pm. It is possible to get back to Colorado Springs, if that is where you are coming from, with buses leaving the Pueblo Transit Center at 6:55 pm and 9:25 pm. If you are coming to Pueblo by bus, you have to arrive during morning rush hour.

You can read the PDF's of the plan at the 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) web page. Unfortunately, this document is long-winded and poorly organized. Is the late notice of this meeting partly an attempt to hide this?

Comments should be sent to pacog_mpo@pueblo.us. Comments should be sent by July 8.

I would also encourage people who live in this area to contact their elected representatives. The Pueblo Area Council of Governments is made up of:
The City of Pueblo
County of Pueblo
Board of Water Works
Pueblo City Schools
Pueblo County School District 70
Pueblo West Metropolitan District
Colorado City Metropolitan District
Salt Creek Sanitation District

I would encourage people to contact more than one entity. Parking lots are a significant expense for schools, so transportation policies that encourage driving make education more expensive. The friction of cars on roads contaminates water, and electric cars produce as much as gas cars do. This should be a concern for the entities that provide our water.
