Commerce City authorizes negotiation and potential eminent domain for East 90 Sixth Avenue pedestrian underpass
Summary
The council authorized negotiation, purchase and potential use of eminent domain to acquire property for the East 90 Sixth Avenue pedestrian underpass project; the action passed as recorded in the meeting transcript.
Commerce City Council authorized staff to negotiate, purchase and, if necessary, use eminent domain to acquire property for a pedestrian underpass at East 90 Sixth Avenue. The motion passed as recorded in the meeting transcript.
Meeting minutes record the vote as carried by a 7-0 tally with two excused absences; the transcript also notes one council member briefly stepped out during the vote. The motion authorizes negotiation and potential use of eminent domain but does not record specific parcels, purchase prices, or funding sources in the meeting summary.
Because the authorization includes potential eminent-domain use, additional steps, including property appraisal, legal review, and notice requirements, would be expected before acquisition can be completed; none of those steps are detailed in the transcript. The council’s authorization is limited to the actions described in the meeting record and does not itself transfer property or allocate project funding.
Video and meeting materials may contain further details about parcels and funding and are available at c3gov.com/video.
