The Denver Regional Council of Governments’ Regional Transportation Committee approved two Transportation Improvement Program actions on Feb. 17.
Staff presented a TIP policy amendment from Josh Wenk to add $14,480,000 in new surface‑treatment funds to the Region 1 surface‑treatment pool. Wenk said, "This would be to add $14,480,000 in new surface treatment funds to the Region 1 surface treatment pool." The change would fund six new pool projects, adjust the cost of one existing project and remove two completed projects from the listing. Commissioner Cook moved the motion and Director Guzman seconded. The committee approved the amendment by voice vote; members signaled "aye" and the chair announced the motion carries.
The committee also approved staff recommendations for two TIP set‑aside programs. Nora Kern and Emily Lindsey presented awards proposed from the Community‑Based Transportation Planning and Innovative Mobility set‑asides. Kern said the Community‑Based set‑aside had $2.5 million identified in the TIP and staff received 14 applications; staff recommended three projects totaling $800,000: a 6th Avenue bike crossing feasibility study (City of Lakewood), a first/last‑mile mobility access plan (Northglenn) and a small community transportation vision in Sherrillwood (Adams County). Lindsey described the Innovative Mobility set‑aside ($4 million identified in the TIP over four years), noting the selection panel recommended four projects totaling just over $1,000,000 across work with Denver, Arvada, Adams County and RTD on items such as mobility hubs, connected signals and app integration.
Deborah Johnson moved the set‑aside recommendations and a second was recorded; the committee approved the recommendations by voice vote. The motions were approved by voice; no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript.
The committee’s actions will be incorporated into the TIP project listings and related program materials distributed in board packets and online.
