/ #25 Beltway expansion and Urban sprawl

2011-02-05 05:07

It's a shame that people keep coming from out of state because they love the beauty of Colorado, but yet they want it to be just as congested and "convenient" as where they came from. Urban sprawl is taking away our enviroment - fields, farms, woods,
trails, peace and quiet, mountains, big expansive views, etc. Completing this "beltway" will only add to the 100's of King Soopers, Starbucks, Blockbusters,
gas stations, fast food places, and home developments in which all the homes look the same, etc. that have been developed along every other new road and highway in Colorado. It's starting to look very repetitive from town to town and neighborhood to neighborhood. The wildlife people love to look at then becomes
a nusiance with more development. And the wildlife always lose the battle.

Please stop the beltway. Stop the urban sprawl. Stop destroying Colorado!!

The roads arent' being built for traffic mitigation, but for developers....commercial and residential.
Maybe the millions of dollars that people want to spend on the "beltway" need to
be spent on lightrail between towns.
