A group seeking to combat congestion in the Interstate 70 mountain corridor said Thursday that a solution should include highway improvements and some form of mass-transit automated guideway system.
The I-70 Corridor Collaborative Effort, made up of government officials, business representatives and environmental activists, has been meeting since November, trying to forge a consensus on what transportation improvements are needed for the high-volume corridor.
Frisco Town Manager Michael Penny, a member of the group, said the general assessment now is that the I-70 mountain corridor needs interchange improvements, possible widening in places and other road enhancements, as well as a “strategic and concurrent” effort to develop “some type of advanced guideway system.”
