[bouldercouncilhotline] Hotline: CCA drops 2016 Transportation Initiatives

[cmosupport at bouldercolorado.gov]

Sender: Jones, Suzanne

Good news! The Colorado Contractors Association is dropping their proposed statewide transportation funding ballot initiatives. Hopefully we can now work with them on an improved approach for future years that includes, among other things, more transit funding and other benefits for the Front Range and our northwest corridor specifically.

Cheers,
Zan

Dear Friends:

After a great deal of time and energy invested by stakeholders across the state for more than a year, our investors have made the difficult but smart decision to hold off on pursuing an initiated measure this year. We are greatly encouraged by all of the support we have received from all corners of the state to find a sustainable solution to our transportation funding crisis.

While public sentiment remains strong to find a solution, we feel, for many reasons 2018 may be a better time to go to the voters. We look forward to working with all stakeholders starting immediately to work toward a 2018 measure.

Please find attached a public release that announces our decision to withdraw the 2016 initiatives.

Thank you all for your support.

Tony
