CDOT regional staff responded to each topic and clarified how state transportation projects are funded.

Several callers described severely deteriorated short local stretches of roadway and said they often drive on unpaved alternatives to avoid damage. One caller identified herself as Linly and said a short segment near Cherry Lane was in such poor condition that drivers preferred unpaved farm tracks. Regional Director Shane Ferguson acknowledged the complaint, said the agency has worked on State Highway 96 in past years and that funding is limited: \"la financiación es limitada, es como poner mantequilla de maní muy delgadita sobre un pan,\" and CDOT will \"dar una mirada\" to the caller's reported segment.

Other callers asked about two‑lane mountain corridors and requested rumble strips and refreshed centerline paint. Linda Reed described a stretch north of Buena Vista where the centerline was not recently repainted and urged more rumble‑strip installation on mountain two‑lane roads. Ferguson said CDOT plans to install more rumble strips and striping along mountain corridors next year.

A commercial driver asked that roundabouts be built large enough to accommodate big trucks; Ferguson said many recent roundabouts have been sized to allow large commercial vehicles to navigate them and noted coordination of signals and design is important for safe function.

A caller asked about Pueblo rest areas and whether planned expansions would restore service. Commissioner Hart said CDOT plans to relocate rest areas to connect them to municipal sewer and water where feasible, which would benefit travelers.

Funding question: one caller asked whether marijuana tax revenue pays for road repairs. Shane Ferguson replied, in Spanish, \"la financiación de el impuesto a la marihuana no va a las carreteras, solamente a los escuelas,\" and explained that CDOT's transportation funding primarily comes from the state gas tax and vehicle registration fees.

CDOT did not announce new funding or make formal commitments to specific timelines on the call; staff said they will review the reported locations and consider them in ongoing planning and maintenance scheduling.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CDOT 2050 Teléfono del Ayuntamiento Distrito 10","oneSentenceSummary","Local residents used the District 10 forum to report damaged local roads, ask about rumble strips, roundabout sizes for large vehicles and the future of Pueblo rest areas; CDOT clarified funding sources and said staff will review specific local concerns.","taxTitle","Transportation Commission, Governor's Boards and Commissions, Organizations, Executive, Colorado","taxId",27826,"location","Colorado","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6174800,"CDOT lists completed and planned I‑25, US‑50 and bridge projects in District 10; some work remains unfunded",2794,662000,3456000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5364962-0da6fa778b98e78a4162c89b11b0dd85&start=662&end=3456","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5364962-0da6fa778b98e78a4162c89b11b0dd85/thumbnail_662000.jpg","/articles/6174800/Colorado/CDOT-lists-completed-and-planned-I25-US50-and-bridge-projects-in-District-10-some-work-remains-unfunded","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6174800-35d067cffa3cf089568579e0671a3c87/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142752&Signature=bgap1UF8SJlVG-GVxnjGakDFcJakG1NAaCE3KGlKjbLPdy1BXeDaUMasy15Dlle7seWPMV3RbPeRE0f5pNU9X-iXzsAOOh8-H8xPuXJ9v~ffPMxod5r~uigf2JXqo2qaQdEH88i6d2Ao5K~ybck37taNn8Jc2QHXch1EG7-QZwFkNRvpYcLHchXw8TTbD7jhQap4RDZWnUfiaoadMdazhmFN6bD9DDwtcDgzkvKKunvXQyjDUUReyVsYhPU829W9XfCYFNP14PmcKBLgpylQLy462dWJgJG3Uk-8rqTE3DEbopBzSIuBxn-7yLtyi-HNr01V5tpMY9OkBZfoSZPTqQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a CDOT District 10 telephone forum, Commissioner Terry Hart and Regional Director Shane Ferguson described a mix of recently completed projects and longer‑range corridor work in the southeast Colorado region, including Pueblo-area projects on I‑25 and work on US‑50.

Hart listed recent and completed efforts in the district, including improvements at the I‑25 exit 104 area and a US‑50/Purcel Drive connector that added a third westbound lane. He also cited multiple bridge projects that the agency has completed in recent years adjacent to I‑25.

Ferguson described ongoing work and planned projects: resurfacing and pavement treatment projects on I‑25 at certain passes, a project to add passing lanes on Colorado 71 between Rocky Ford and Ordway, and work on Highway 96 corridors (Sherron Lake to Eads, Ordway to Arlington). On bridges, Ferguson said a safety project under development would \"reemplazar 3 puentes que son deficientes desde el punto de vista estructural y desde el punto de vista funcional\" but he cautioned that \"el proyecto no está financiado\" at this time (Spanish transcription of forum remarks).

Why it matters: the projects affect freight movement and local access on the region's primary corridors. CDOT staff said completed projects have improved safety and traffic flow in some locations while acknowledging there is still more pavement and bridge work to do.

What CDOT said about status: some project elements are complete and in use; others remain in environmental review or planning and lack final funding. Officials repeatedly emphasized that public input helps prioritize which projects proceed as dollars allow.

No formal action or funding decisions were taken during the call; CDOT representatives asked callers to submit additional feedback to the Your Transportation Plan survey.","CDOT officials described completed safety and pavement projects in District 10 and outlined planned bridge replacements and corridor work around Pueblo and along I‑25 and US‑50.

CDOT Commissioner Terry Hart and Regional Director Shane Ferguson described three statewide priorities — repairing roads, improving transportation safety and increasing sustainable travel options — and asked callers to rate those priorities in a brief survey.

The forum's live poll of attendees showed repair work as the top public priority: 58 percent of respondents selected repairing roads, 25 percent chose increasing sustainable travel options and 17 percent chose advancing safety, CDOT reported during the call. Commissioner Terry Hart and Deputy Executive Director Carmen Stocknier emphasized that CDOT's investment decisions are constrained by available funding and that public input will guide how limited dollars are allocated across the state.

Why it matters: District 10 covers roughly 19,000 square miles and serves rural communities where residents often travel long distances for jobs and services. Hart said the district has more than 3,500 lane miles, with about 465 lane miles on Interstate 25, and that CDOT coordinates with local agencies across the region to set project priorities. The plan frames how CDOT will balance maintenance, safety projects and longer-range investments through 2050.

Officials said project selection is guided by department policies, including a referred policy they called “Directriz número 14,” which establishes performance goals for safety, pavement condition and transportation options and is used to measure progress in planning and selecting projects. CDOT staff pointed listeners to the Your Transportation Plan website and an online survey for further comment.

Speakers during the forum repeatedly framed road condition work as the department's first priority. Deputy Executive Director Carmen Stocknier said, in Spanish, “La seguridad de transporte no es opcional, es esencial,” to underscore safety as a core objective while noting that restoring pavement remains CDOT's immediate investment focus.

CDOT urged residents who did not participate by phone to complete the online survey at the Your Transportation Plan website and said staff will continue to gather public feedback as the department refines its statewide priorities.","In a CDOT District 10 telephone forum, agency leaders presented the statewide 'Your Transportation Plan' and survey results showing most participants ranked repairing roads as the top priority; officials emphasized limited funding, safety, and the role of public input.","actionData","errors"]
