US 6 & Wadsworth Boulevard Environmental Assessment

What's New?
Thank you to everyone who attended the public open house on Tuesday, April 29, 2008 at the Lakewood Cultural Center . Preferred alternatives for the interchange and Wadsworth Boulevard were presented and explained, along with preliminary estimates of environmental, transportation, and property impacts. Please visit the Public Meetings page for more information about the meeting.

Due to printing and distribution problems, a large number of newsletters announcing the April 29, 2008 open house were not delivered. We are therefore holding another meeting with interested citizens who were unaware of the April 29, 2008 public meeting because of the problems with our newsletter mailing. The information presented at this meeting will be identical to what was presented on April 29.

US 6/Wadsworth Boulevard Study
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is conducting a study of possible improvements to the US 6 ( 6th Avenue ) and Wadsworth Boulevard interchange and to Wadsworth Boulevard from approximately 4th Avenue to 14th Avenue . The study is an Environmental Assessment (EA) and is anticipated to be completed in December 2008.

The Environmental Assessment is being prepared in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. The NEPA process requires agencies proposing federally-funded transportation projects to integrate environmental values into the planning process, evaluate potential adverse and beneficial impacts of the proposed project, and consider mitigation measures that can avoid or minimize adverse environmental impacts. The NEPA process considers the social and transportation needs of the public.

Transportation projects typically involve a high level of public involvement and outreach. CDOT continues to actively seek input from agencies, businesses, residents, and stakeholders along the Wadsworth Boulevard corridor study area during the course of the study.
