Highland's opener is worth it!

Hell yeah. Powder posse going on as we speak, I'm chained to my desk

They're just packing it for Friday nights 20"!

[stfu&gbtw]

Still haven't intelligently responded to my post

Your inability to understand is not my problem.

[The SnowShow]

I avoid I-70 on weekends like the plague. Unfortunately, I have an unavoidable 9:15pm out of Denver, Sunday night. When does the traffic usually clear on Sunday night?
The dude that owns Cacona, drives to Boulder from Aspen after dinner every Sunday night and says he never hits traffic, but I might be a little earlier.

New toll lane + Broncos game = clear sailing

[WTF is dat]

Your inability to understand is not my problem.

Nope. My post clearly laid out why high speed rail is a bad idea for the mountains. Never mind the fact that it would cost 20 billion dollars when we can't even scrape together 4 billion to expand I-70. I think it is you who does not understand.


All you have been doing in this thread is slinging shit without providing any real solutions.



You MUST be trolling. That or you are the dumbest person I have interacted with on the internet.


I'm done, not going to take the bait any more.

Trust me when I say I understand that you don't get it.

This + Saturday is going to be the pow-day everyone is hunting.

Over/under 2 long I70 closures Sat. I take the over.

[stfu&gbtw]

I'm rooting for the snow to justify not "opening" the express lane, resulting in 3 lane anarchy. "The heaviest traffic is in the summer, you know.", said everyone who can't appreciate the difference between driving in 6" of slush, dark, and 30' visibility vs. dry roads and sunshine until 8pm. $75m well spent. It's great... coloRADo won't spend a dime on real solutions, but they think people will drop $40/trip on half-assed ones... And they're probably right.

Retards.

Explain to me how I don't get it?

[bendtheski]

Explain to me how I don't get it?

Well for starters:

I'm done, not going to take the bait any more.

Go back and read your posts. At some point, you ought to look at that nonsense and think to yourself, "what the fuck is that?"

You need a new hobby. Try beating off with your other hand and wrap a rope around your neck. Stop cunting up this thread.

^ First - this is the I70 bitch thread. If you want an I70 academic analysis thread, start your own. Second - I've participated much more constructively in other aspects of this thread, but I don't take WTF seriously. Progress is a foregone conclusion... I'm not really being that obtuse with him. I do get that he doesn't get it... Many folks around here don't. A new day is coming. People in CO are accustomed to a running influx of hikers and skiers.. That will continue, but the IT, IB, VC, and PE guys are not just on the way - a lot of us are here already. No one in CO knows what they're in for - but they're gonna find out.

[simple]

As ANOTHER professional engineer here...you have no idea what you are talking about. Just stop. Planners don't fix I-70. It is hard core engineering. Expensive as fuck and doesn't have funding. Not now and probably long into the future. I70 at Elyria got the go ahead and will cost billions. CDOT got help from Western, Denver, and UPRR. Big money and power. Unless the ski areas flex their muscles the mountain cooridor isn't getting a big project. They instead have shuttle services which take care of their main interests, the out of state skiers who actually spend money. Helping the budget minded local skiers is not in their interest.

Go ahead and try to debate it. I'll let someone else school you. Like you understand Colorado you kook.

I lol'd. That's awesome that you think mentioning that highway engineering is required qualifies as being insightful. Super cute! I'm going to love meeting you when you're bagging my groceries.

[adrenalated]

You guys don't get it. We've been doing it wrong forever. Fucking engineers, IT people should be designing the highways.

[hatchgreenchile]

Stupid natives. Stupid transplants. Stupid engineers. Stupid drivers. Stupid tourons. Stupid CDOT.
You get the picture.
Stupid.

stfu is the donald trump of the I70 bitch thread.

Oh, I'm sorry. Were you under the impression that CO has successfully planned for and implemented infrastructure to manage the unabated population growth that's occurred for the last 30 years?

IT people shouldn't be designing the highways, but the engineers who are here are too accustomed to saying it can't be done. And with the complete lack of support from the tax payers, it's easy to understand why. Those days aren't quite over yet, but they will be soon. The folks who are intent on wasting the opportunities that exist are going to get flattened. People seem to think that they have some right to be here. This is capitalism folks. You get to be here if you can pay to play.

.

What can you say, DIA, Fastraks, T-REX, E470, US36 rebuild, I25 HOV, all drops in the bucket.

[simple]

Yeah? So Mr. Trump, what is your financial plan? It can be done with $20 billion dollars. Give us a plan. Up front costs, not subsidized over 100 years via a toll.

Also gas taxes won't work. If you are paying attention Congress just approved a huge transportation budget and they once again ignored increasing the gas tax even when gas prices are very low.

[Name Redacted]

Gas tax won't work because vehicles are being built to be more fuel efficient every year. The country is currently attempting to move away from fossil fuels. Returns would continue to diminish unless taxes were raised on a regular basis, which isn't going to happen.

Tolls are the tax of the future. If you want to go skiing in a timely manner while living on the shitty end of a two hour commute to the hill, then this is the price you will need to pay. Tolls don't need to be approved by voters either.
