August 3 Program - I-25 Issues and Potential Expansion
Help for our notorious I-25 may be on the way. According to the July 27 Coloradoan, the federal government will contribute $15M, to add to the local communities $25M to help CDOT add a toll lane to I-25 from Mulberry Street to just south of Highway 34 in Loveland. This Wednesday, Rotarians will hear more on this potential expansion from the CEO and President of the Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce, David May. May will be introduced by Carl Maxey.
