Improvements will be considered generally between Boulder and Downtown Denver along the US 36 highway alignment, the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe (BNSF) rail line, SH 157 in Boulder and the area around the northern entry of SH 119 northeast of Boulder. The relationships of concurrent projects such as the Northwest Corridor EIS, the North I-25 EIS, the US36/US287 Interchange Environmental Assessment and the Denver Union Station Intermodal Master Plan EIS will also be considered. The purpose of this notice is to notify interested individuals, organizations, and business entities, affected Native American Tribes, and Federal, State, and local governmental agencies of the intent to prepare an EIS/4(f) and to invite participation in the study. Transportation improvements are needed to meet current and future travel demands and to upgrade the transportation facilities in the corridor consistent with current standards and procedures.
