<br /> --, . <br /> When you are widening it out and add the <br /> service roads it is going to be a pretty wide <br /> road. It will take the big trees in my yard <br /> and the house that was built. Most of the <br /> houses that were built there, were built when <br /> the road was a gravel road. If the highway <br /> department has to buy all of these homes or <br /> move all of these homes, I would suggest that <br /> there must be some cheaper land some place <br /> that you could get cheaper. They also have <br /> talked about landscaping the new highway, it <br /> seems silly to cut all the trees down along <br /> Dillon Road and then relandscape it when they <br /> move all the houses back. I wish you could <br /> consider a different route rather than Dillon <br /> Road. I do not think it is the cheapest way <br /> to go. I think a better road would be on <br /> Empire Road. I'm sure there must be a <br /> better route. <br /> Jim Schreiter, Rt 2 Box 645, Broomfield, Colorado <br /> Schreiter: I have been to several meetings concerning <br /> this matter and we first got involved when <br /> they tried to tell us they were going to put <br /> W-470 through. Whatever they do W-470 was <br /> going right down the middle of my farm. I <br /> was very concerned about that at the time. <br /> But the citizens of this community voted it <br /> down. What we have is very similar to W-470. <br /> They have been trying to tell me that this is <br /> a fast route to the airport, when in fact it <br /> will only save 5 minutes at the most. This <br /> is still a developers' dream. The reason we <br /> now have this beltway is because Interlocken <br /> wants to run this road through their develop- <br /> ment but they don't want to pay for it. I'm <br /> not interested in paying for an interchange. <br /> This road comes down 96th and makes a big <br /> sweep through my farm and is going to wipe <br /> out 10 homes. This is not a big deal in the <br /> eyes of people that talk about progress, but <br /> it is to me. These 10 people that live out <br /> there would like to be left alone, the same <br /> as I would. Open space is a concern of other <br /> people and by living where I do I contribute <br /> to open space. The most feasible place for <br /> this road is to come across 96th, come down <br /> toward Rock Creek in a straight line over <br /> pass 287 and get on down the road. There are <br /> other ways to build this road. If they put a <br /> road across me, I'm going to fight you <br /> through the courts. If I lose I'm going to <br /> get all the dollars out of that land that I <br /> can. <br /> 5 <br />
