01:32 PM -- HB 17-1153
Representatives Williams and McKean introduced House Bill 17-1153. Under current law, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is permitted to designate high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes for vehicles that carry a specified number of passengers. This bill sets the specific number of passengers at two or more (HOV2+).
This bill also requires CDOT to prioritize two projects to widen I-25, including the portion of I-25 between the towns of Castle Rock and Monument and the portion of I-25 between the cities of Longmont (at State Highway 66) and Fort Collins (at State Highway 14). CDOT is to prioritize these projects above all other unfunded projects using flexible federal money not previously allocated for any other project. CDOT must also require any environmental or other study to be completed no later than six months after the bill's effective date, and not allow the findings of any study to prevent the projects from being undertaken.
Representative McKean distributed a packet of information to the to committee (Attachment A). Representative Williams distributed amendments L.002 (Attachment B), L.006 (Attachment C), and L.007 (Attachment D).
