Begjæringen er stilet til: Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT)

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is considering disposing of the El Rancho Park-n-Ride lot. RTD has given up its lease on this lot, and CDOT has recently built a 40-space lot at exit 251 to serve its Pegasus shuttle route. CDOT believes it is not worth their while to maintain a park-n-ride lot for ride sharing.

This lot is well used and has served the Evergreen area and I-70 corridor for 30 years. It is already built and paid for. It is not duplicated by the new shuttle parking lot, and there is no other site in this vicinity where it could be replaced. The El Rancho Park-n-Ride lot should not be disposed of.

CDOT's disposal process is conducted out of the public eye. No notice is posted or published and there is no public comment allowed until the end of the process when CDOT's decision goes to the Transportation Commission. This petition will be submitted to CDOT and the Transportation Commission when public comment is allowed.
