Denver City Councilman Rafael Espinoza and former Denver Auditor Dennis Gallagher are co-hosting a community town hall event on Tuesday, Jan. 24 at the event space at the Denver Bookbinding Company at 1401 W 47th Ave, just east of Pecos on the south side of I-70. The event will inform the public and engage them in a dialogue about the I-70 Central Denver expansion project.

The I-70 expansion has implications for the entire state of Colorado, including those in District 1 and the metro area. Not only are the people living within a couple miles of I-70 impacted, I-70 commuters, Denver storm sewer ratepayers, Colorado taxpayers and anyone who cares about environmental and social justice issues are also impacted.

Doors open at 6 p.m. with refreshments and background information on the project. Presentations begin at 6:30 p.m. with open format Q&A to follow. More information regarding the I-70 project can be found at https://www.facebook.com/groups/ditchtheditch/.
