Since 2003, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and the Regional Transportation District (RTD), in partnership with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), have studied the U.S. 36 corridor between Denver and Boulder in the U.S. 36 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The U.S. 36 EIS defines the transportation improvements that are needed to meet travel demands through the year 2035, defines the environmental impacts and the cost of the overall project. The federal study brings the corridor one step closer to completing the planning process and poises U.S. 36 for state and federal funding.
The U.S. 36 Final EIS is now available for public review and comment. The 45-day formal comment period will end Monday, December 14, 2009.
Public Hearings are being held to share information about the Combined Alternative Package/Preferred Alternative proposed in the U.S. 36 Final EIS. At these meetings you will learn about all multi-modal transportation improvements and be able to provide formal comment.
