PBS Documentary Highlights Metro-area Urban Planning

Because SE2 has helped Golden explain the many reasons why the proposed Jefferson County toll road is a bad idea, I was pleased to see the issue highlighted last night in a national prime time PBS documentary called Blueprint America: Road to the Future (see Part 2 of the program here and a web-only extra here).

But, as Westword's Jared Jacang Maher explains, the program gives short shrift to efforts by the City and County of Denver and the larger metro area to plan its transportation system for the future. Denver's New Zoning Code, which SE2 is helping to roll out this summer, is an example of how local folks are thoughtfully approaching many of these issues.
