Referendum D There will be a final vote today for the transportation plan attached to Referendum D on the fall ballot, according to the Denver Post [June 16, 2005, "Mayor: Transport plan shortchanges Adams"]. From the article, "The city of Thornton has raised last-minute complaints that a massive amount of transportation funding scheduled to go before the voters for approval in November grossly shortchanges the north metro area. Today, the Colorado Transportation Commission will vote to approve the slate of projects that will be attached to Referendum D, which goes before voters in November. The plan provides $1 billion to 57 transportation projects around the state. The metro area will get about $504 million out of that. But Thornton has complained that Adams County, which has roughly 15 percent of the metro area's population, will get only about 6 percent of the funding."
