Public Comment Needed for Grant Applications

The Town of Erie is a partner in four applications to the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) grant program to establish the Transportation Improvement Program for fiscal years 2024-2027. Erie is partnered with Boulder County on one application and with Weld County for four projects (one project spans both Boulder and Weld counties). DRCOG is currently soliciting comment from the public on desired priorities for funding. All comments received will be presented to the respective county forums, which will recommend a list of projects to be funded to the DRCOG Board of Directors.

All comments must be received by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 22, and can be submitted directly on a web map on the DRCOG website. Users will be able to launch an interactive map to see the submitted applications and provide feedback.
