Commerce City council adopts transportation master plan; vote rejects truck-route removal
Summary
Commerce City Council approved a new transportation master plan 7 to 1 after voting down a motion to remove 96th Avenue as a truck route between Chambers and Tower Road by a 2-to-6 margin.
Commerce City Council voted 7 to 1 to adopt the city's new transportation master plan after council members rejected a separate motion to remove 96th Avenue as a truck route between Chambers and Tower Road.
Council considered a motion specifically to remove 96th Avenue from the local truck-route network; that motion failed by a 2-to-6 vote. The council then approved the broader transportation master plan, which outlines policies and project priorities for the city.
Supporters of the master plan framed it as a comprehensive guide for future street and multimodal investments; opponents focused their debate on a single provision affecting truck routing on 96th Avenue. The transcript records a recorded vote on the truck-route motion (2 yes, 6 no) and the final adoption vote (7 yes, 1 no). The council immediately moved on to ordinances on first reading after adopting the plan.
