Of course the "airport" we went to makes Centennial look like LAXQuote:

What a weekend. My kid was a passenger in a car wreck a few night ago. Friends newer mustang totaled, but all kids and other driver ok. 287 and 52 strikes again, CDOT this one is on you. That intersection always leads to accidents, and everyone I speak to avoids it. Of course other driver did not have a licence. This is the 5th incident with illegals in 5 years for me and my friends, fukin build a wall already.
Got to give it to new cars, the front was smashed solid and the cabin was intact, side air bag deployed and only a scratch on my kid, but not even a real bruise anywhere on the arm. Driver of the car my kid was in got a few arm scratches, the other passenger was scratch free.
Glad everyone is OK.Quote:

I thought they were giving free licenses and a right to vote to all illegals in CO?
Fuck ya, build that damn wall. Fix the asylum program and hang every douche that exploits children not their own to get here. I don't care if we need to put our own troops at the US and Mexico's southern borders.
287 and 52 is basically two freeways with an intersection. They pull the cute stunt of limiting speed to 55 so you can have a cross turn lane. Add to that the fact that 52 always gets priority and people speed like a mother through 52 while on 287 so they don't have to wait. (52 has 5-10 cars waiting at most and the light turns green for them, 287 has a 1/4 mile backup and only gets retimed when people complain.) Add to that all the effing appartments added constantly to Longmont and you end up with humongous volume of cars.
CDOT needs to extend the turn lanes on 287 by 300% and make the turns on green arrow only, with a proper time for N/S traffic to pass through.
Rant mode off.
When I was doing field service, I used to run the whole corridor from Parker to Cheyenne and spent a lot of time up and down the area west of I-25 Denver to Loveland, but it's been forever since I've run up there, and never during rush hour.Quote:

Sounds doable. Fortunately they'll continue hicks vision and drop a few bicycle paths there, insteadQuote:

Didn't realize her collection was so extensive until she had it laid out.
She added another half dozen pieces after I took the pic.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e2deb094c4.jpg
