The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is conducting a study of possible improvements to the 6th Avenue/Wadsworth Boulevard interchange and to Wadsworth Boulevard between approximately 3rd and 13th avenues in Lakewood.

Please join us for our first public scoping meeting on Aug. 21, 2007:

• Clements Center, 1580 Yarrow St., Lakewood
• Open house from 4 - 8 p.m.
• Informational presentations at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.

The study will be an Environmental Assessment and will be completed in approximately 18 to 24 months.

The Environmental Assessment is being prepared in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. The NEPA process requires agencies proposing federally-funded transportation projects to integrate environmental values into the planning process, evaluate potential adverse and beneficial impacts of the proposed project, and consider mitigation measures that can avoid or minimize adverse environmental impacts. The NEPA process considers the social and transportation needs of the public.

Transportation projects typically involve a high level of public involvement and outreach. CDOT will actively seek input from agencies, businesses, residents, and stakeholders along the Wadsworth Boulevard corridor study area as the study progresses.
