There’s an old joke about Colorado. (No, not the one about waiting ten minutes for the weather to change, the other one.) Colorado has two seasons: Winter, and Construction.
There’s been some noise around Boulder this summer about the road improvement/widening projects going on, some of which is stimulus packages at work. However you feel about all the roadfoolery going on at both the major north-south through ways of Broadway and 28th Streets, think back to Denver T-Rex project of yore, and how that screwed up the daily commute for anyone traveling between central/downtown Denver and the Denver Tech Center.
Still, T-Rex is considered a triumphant achievement in “transforming the way people in the metro Denver area commute within the areas of Interstates 25 and 225, then the Country’s 14th busiest intersection.” (Wikipedia)
