Your take on this project

How well does this project use public money?
Your rating and comment help show which projects residents see as a good use of public money, and which as a poor one.

A rating here is not a vote, a scientific poll or a message to your representative.

Your rating is kept with no name, and it is never published on this site.

How we use this
Your rating is stored without your name, address or any identifier. We count it into a total, so the people who govern this place can see how residents read their spending. No rating and no total is published on this site. We may publish summaries of what residents tell us about a place. Those are our own writing, never your rating and never a count, average or distribution of anybody's. Ratings and comments are grouped into themes that show elected leaders how residents rate each project.

ANALYSIS
  • What functionality does Phase IV deliver, and on what schedule?

Total cost and spending
Total project cost≈ $36.4M

Total cost & funding are drawn from the official record(s) listed below.

Spend-to-date: not published. Colorado does not publish what it has spent on this project, so this field is left blank rather than estimated. TOPS, the state’s spending ledger, has no project field, so it cannot show what was spent on one project.

  • Phases I–III — prior years
  • Phase IV — in progress

Estimate, first to current
FACT
first public estimate → current+$6.2M · +21%
LCS program figure → JTC obligated$30.2M → $36.4M
Watchlist average drift+49% per project · +42% dollar-weighted
Both endpoints are drawn from the source records below; the change, percentage, and average are our arithmetic (CALC). The average covers the 3 of 53 tracked projects with two published estimates — for the rest, the state has published a single figure, so their drift is unknowable, not zero. Estimates move in both directions — we show the honest record either way.

Who is being paid (1)

Where this comes from: award announcements and project records from CDOT, FHWA, agencies and the legislature’s nonpartisan staff — each Record link opens the source. Paid-to-date shows only published figures (green = verified); everything else stays PENDING, because the state does not publish payments project by project. Political giving links open TRACER, the Secretary of State’s official campaign-finance database, where contribution records are searchable by name — contributions are legal and public, and a search link implies no wrongdoing by anyone.
