State transportation officials to hold town hall in Colorado Springs on Wednesday

COLORADO SPRINGS – Residents can “talk transportation” with state officials at a town hall from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.

The meeting will be at the Sand Creek Library, 1821 S. Academy Blvd.

The Colorado Department of Transportation is holding a statewide series of meetings so Coloradans can interact with their local transportation commissioners, talk to CDOT staff and learn about projects in their region, says a CDOT news release.

Residents also can call in to CDOT’s “telephone town hall” for southeast Colorado at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 17. CDOT will call area residents at random. To participate, call 1-877-229-8493 and enter the PIN number 112034.

Editor’s Note: A previous version of this story inaccurately stated the number for the telephone town hall. The story has been revised to correct the error.

Interstate 25 would be one of the beneficiaries if Colorado voters in November decide to give up a portion of their future tax returns to fund education and transportation.
