Michael BrownHOST
It's called ExpressToll.
Michael BrownHOST
If you drive E-470 to the airport, and plenty of us do, there's a good chance that transponder is stuck to your, stuck to your tran- to your windshield right now.
Michael BrownHOST
As of 2019, there were nearly 1.8 million of them in this region.
Michael BrownHOST
And ExpressToll already works for airport parking.
Michael BrownHOST
Back in 2015, E-470 partnered with Canopy Airport Parking, the private lot out on Tower Road.
Michael BrownHOST
You link your transponder, you roll in, you roll out, and they knock 25% off your bill.
Michael BrownHOST
DIA is gonna tag on 5%.
Greg LopezGUEST
And by that time, the growth has already happened and you will not even see that you truly eliminated any congestion.
Greg LopezGUEST
One of the things that I want to do is make sure that we talk about building a new road, a new road, you know, E-470.
Greg LopezGUEST
When I sat on the board of E-470, I will tell you, a lot of people thought that was pie in the sky.
Greg LopezGUEST
You don't need E-470.
Greg LopezGUEST
And now everybody loves E-470 because you don't have to drive I-25 to get to the other side of the state.
Greg LopezGUEST
I'm more to say, let's take the tolls off I-25 and make it open to everybody.
Greg LopezGUEST
Did you know that it's owned by three counties and five jurisdictions? A lot of people think it's privately owned.
Ed SealoverHOST
You mean take the tolls off E-470? E-470.
Greg LopezGUEST
And so I understand transportation.
Greg LopezGUEST
I sat on the board of E-470.
Greg LopezGUEST
I worked with the de- uh, Denver Regional Council of Governments.
Greg LopezGUEST
I worked with the Colorado Municipal League, which is all the mayors and council members, and also Colorado Counties Association.
Kyle ClarkHOST
But Aurora's mayor does not have the unilateral power of, say, Denver's mayor, so Coffman's gotta get city council on board, and they just rejected a moratorium on new developments last month.
Kyle ClarkHOST
Coffman's beef is with the Trident Data Center, an 800,000 square foot facility that would be built near E470 and 48th.
Kyle ClarkHOST
Coffman says the city's already given preliminary approval because of the area's zoning, but the mayor says the data center is too close, in his view, to housing developments, including a senior living community across the street.
Kyle ClarkHOST
The mayor wants a public hearing, AKA a shout fest, and he wants the city to block the data center, even if they get sued.
BillHOST
I'm literally asking from like a ground zero curiosity.
Laura ThomasGUEST
So there are, according to the county's website, 60 outside boards and commissions like Dr. Cog, like E470.
Laura ThomasGUEST
There's watershed authorities.
Laura ThomasGUEST
And when commissioners have to appear at all of those meetings to provide represent douglas county and there are competing there were times i had three meetings i needed to be at at the same time and so douglas county was not represented at one or two of those meetings so by having five commissioners there will be a commissioner and elected official at those official meetings representing the voice of douglas county residents
Jim SaulnierHOST
I got fed up with staying on the highway heading up to Indianapolis going on I think it's 675 or something like that.
Jim SaulnierHOST
Little loop, kind of like a E470, a little loop, um, that goes just south of, of Indianapolis and then I take the highway down into, um, Cincinnati.
Jim SaulnierHOST
And it's just a boring highway drive.
Jim SaulnierHOST
So couple years ago when I did this I, I used Google to direct me on some back roads across Indiana.
Sean SullivanHOST
The Ohio Turnpike, around $14 for full length.
Sean SullivanHOST
The E470 in Denver is $22.25 for the full 47-mile stretch.
Sean SullivanHOST
That's just crazy money to me.
Sean SullivanHOST
The most expensive toll roads per mile, okay, so not for the full route, but per mile, The winner here, Whiteface Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway in New York, $1.25 a mile.
