On hand at the ribbon cutting event was Mayor Marjorie Sloan, along with members of the city council, and representatives from CDOT, Jefferson County, and the Colorado School of Mines. “We are thrilled with the project,” said Dan Hartman, the city’s public works director. “I think people will quickly see how much time is saved by not having a traffic signal, and walking across U.S. 6 is actually a very pleasant experience. It’s safer for everyone.”The $25 million project was completed on time and on budget. City sources say only aesthetic work on the top “lid” park area remains to be done. COURTESY PHOTO
