BOULDER, Colo. -- A vote by Boulder County officials on December 21st could allow for the construction of the final 20-mile stretch of the 470 beltway around the Denver metro area.

“We have maps from 42 years ago, when folks first talked about building a super highway link around the metro area,” said Will Toor, Boulder County Commissioner. “We have always opposed the beltway in our county because we were afraid we’d lose open space along highway 93. But with an agreement between Jefferson and Boulder counties now in place, we are ready to end our opposition.”

The key to the deal is Rocky Flats Parcel 16, a 640-acre plot of land where highways 93 and 72 intersect at the southwest edge of the new Rocky Flats Wildlife Refuge.
