Wow CDOT sure is generous, making sure people can live (as long as they stay inside), and tripling the footprint of a highway in an urban core to add a 2 mile toll lane. For those that don't know, the people impacted by this highway already experience drastically higher rates of heart disease, er visits from asthma, and 3.5 years off of their lifespan. Expanding the highway creates more air pollution which does equal more problems for the 6,000+ Denver taxpaying residents that live in the impact zone. Additionally, we're digging a 30-40' trench into the ground in the most polluted zip code in the entire nation. What do you think happens when you throw lead, arsenic, cadmium, and other heavy metals into the air for 5-7 years?

Or really, why don't we talk about the real issue, where this $2billion+ project won't solve or address any congestion issues? By the time it's done (5-7 years) any additional capacity from a 2 mile toll lane will be completely filled.
