C-470 Corridor Coalition Hosting Public Open House Meetings
Residents can learn more about improvements coming in 2016

DOUGLAS COUNTY The C-470 Corridor Coalition is continuing its public outreach with a
series of four open houses to discuss proposed improvements of the freeway and adding tolled
Express Lanes.

The open houses are the second in a series of educational outreach forums hosted by the
coalition. Three county-specific telephone town halls were conducted between Sept. 9-11,
reaching thousands of residents along the corridor.

"The telephone town hall meetings we conducted earlier this week were great for reaching
thousands of people, but they were no substitute for the personal interaction that comes from
attending a public meeting," said Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon, chair of the C-470 Corridor
Coalition's Policy Committee.

The schedule for the open houses is:

Monday, Sept. 15 Ken Caryl Ranch House
6-8 pm 7676 South Continental Divide Road, Littleton, CO 80127

Tuesday, Sept. 16 Highlands Ranch Metro District Office
6-8 pm 62 Plaza Drive, Highlands Ranch, CO 80129

Wednesday, Sept. 17 Lone Tree Arts Center
6-8 pm 10075 Commons Street, Lone Tree, CO 80124

Thursday, Sept. 18 Homestead Elementary School
6-8 pm 7451 South Homestead Parkway, Englewood, CO 80112

Each meeting will include an overview presentation at 6:30 p.m., information boards for people
to review and the chance to ask questions of CDOT and coalition representatives.

C-470 Coalition Hosts Open Houses
Page 2

The C-470 Coalition was formed in 2011 to provide a forum for local governments, business
organizations and citizens to consider funding options and ultimately reach consensus on a plan
to pay for C-470 improvements.

The Coalition is currently preparing a Revised Environmental Assessment (EA). The tolled
Express Lanes alternative being analyzed has different access designs and locations, no longer
includes a barrier separation and adds auxiliary lanes in select locations.

Construction is scheduled to begin in 2016 and is expected to last for two years.
