John Traylor, a Grand Junction resident whose background is in public finance and who has led the campaign against the 29 Road Interchange, and Tom Parrish, a prominent public education advocate and community leader, will be hosting a community meeting about the City’s plans to move forward with proposed improvements to 29 Road and essentially the I-70 interchange. The sentiment of many people living in the affected neighborhood is that while improvements to 29 Road are “definitely needed,” they definitely still oppose construction of the I-70 interchange.
This was voted down, yet they still put it through. One of those who pushed it through has investment in that lands per reports. Check it out! How did thus ever get pushed through DESPITE OUR HAVING VOTEED IT DOWN!
We voted down the method they proposed to pay for it, not the project itself.
Alot of people bring this up as if to correct us simple minded people. The FACT is that all of it was in one proposal, the city in their never ending use word salads purposely keeps the waters muddied so people with little to NO stake in this issue will only ever see the absolutely minor “conveinence” of an interchange at 29 rd. So, YES we actually do and did realize what we voted for in that last poll. And you mark my words, they’ll switch it up for the next ballot faster than you can say “roundabout” Michelle B
