Pueblo approves $2 million for traffic light to help open new Chipotle
Pueblo City Council voted 6-1 on Nov. 9 to appropriate more than $2 million, including more than $1.7 million from the city's half-cent sales tax fund, for traffic improvements to support economic development on the South Side. The money will pay for the installation of traffic signals and poles at the Pueblo Boulevard and Mirror Avenue intersection. Prior to the council's vote, Pueblo Public Works Director Andrew Hayes said that approval of the ordinance would allow for the opening of a Chipotle Mexican Grill and potentially another restaurant next door. "I think it's also important to remember, this traffic signal also will serve properties even on the south side of Pueblo Boulevard as well," Hayes said. "Any new traffic introduced at that intersection would trigger the need for this signal. We're already at a place, according to the studies that have been done... where any additional traffic is too much." New Mexico-based developer Derrick Martinez of Martinez Property Holdings Inc. owns the Chipotle property, a nearby Starbucks , and a few other vacant lots.

Colorado voters approve transit tax despite economy
(The Center Square) - Colorado voters approved a sales tax increase to fund a transit project that could cost the state over $1 billion in gross domestic product over the next 10 years. Residents in the Front Range Passenger Rail District voted 56% to 44% in favor of Ballot Issue 7A, which would create a 0.33% sales tax for the district, including 31 cities such as Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, Pueblo and Colorado Springs. The Nov. 3 ballot initiative is expected to raise an estimated $295 million annually for the Front Range Passenger Rail District. The extra tax revenue will help the public agency expand its starter rail route between Denver and Fort Collins to Colorado Springs and Pueblo while increasing train frequency across the corridor. The Denver-to-Fort Collins route is expected to start in 2029, while the others are anticipated to begin in 2032. Sal Pace, general manager of the Front Range Passenger Rail District, said Colorado is “one of the most congested states in the country,” especially in the Denver metropolitan area. “On average, people are losing two entire full work weeks every single year being stuck in traffic,” he told The Center Square.
