After the I-70 coalition came out with their final plan that widening the highway and incorporating some sort of rail system is the way to reduce traffic congestion I have some thoughts about their decision.

I believe that most, not all people are driven by convenience. If the rail system is quick, reliable in bad weather, cost the same or close to driving and most of all takes skiers to where they want to go then it will be successful.

For the most part weekend skiers drive to a specific reso… Continue

This is a comment posted to my traffic summary section of the morning show web page that I thought would be good to post here. This is from viewer Becky.

This next story is close to my heart. CDOT will give large trucks the option of using an alternate traction control device known as the AutoSock next winter.

It also can be installed over the tire in much less time than traditional chains. CDOT engineers, the Colorado State Patrol (CSP) and tr… Continue

I wonder if people ever listen. So for as long as I’ve been doing this job and covering flooding I keep putting out that warning, “don’t drive through high water”.

That was not the only one who tried it in a small car. I counted 5 others… Continue

On Friday I covered 2 bad crashes. One on I-25 near Longmont when a driver going south skidded across the median and crashed in the north bound lanes. The driver was not wearing a seatbelt and was thrown out of the Jeep. The other crash was on south bound Wadsworth after C470. Again someone driving lost control and flipped over and once agian the 2 people inside were thrown out of the vehicle. Both, yea you guessed it, weren't wearing their seatbelts. Now this is not a plea for people to buckle… Continue
