Public Hearing
Which metro area transportation projects should receive economic recovery funding?
6 p.m. Wednesday, March 4, 2009
1290 Broadway, Denver
The Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) will hold a public hearing to hear comments about projects to be considered for funding in the Denver region with anticipated federal transportation economic recovery funds. The DRCOG Board of Directors will select projects to receive recovery funds immediately after the public hearing or at subsequent Board meetings.
At this time, it appears that approximately $60 million could be available for transportation projects to be selected by the DRCOG Board. As the Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Denver region, the DRCOG Board will also review and approve selections proposed by the Colorado Department of Transportation ($120 million) and the Regional Transportation District ($70 million) with the funds allocated to them. Lists of proposed projects are available on the DRCOG Web site at www.drcog.org; look for the public hearing icon at the bottom of the page. jstice@drcog.org
More detailed information about the hearing and ways to provide comments is available on the Web site. Questions may also be directed to Steve Rudy at 303-480-6747 or srudy@drcog.org.
