CDOT has been working on this particular project since before Dozier passed, I've attended meetings with them. Local business members from the Conifer and Platte Canyon Chambers formed a Highway 285 Improvements group back in 2016 and started meeting quarterly with our county, state, and federal representatives (Commissioners, state and US Senators, etc). CDOT started attending the meetings a couple of years in. The goal was to get people communicating about the issues our highway faces and figure out how we can get movement on work finally getting done.
The light at 43 is an easier and less expensive fix than the Pine Junction and Kings Valley Rd intersections, although they are actively working on the latter as well (they've created the plans, they're working on raising the funds needed to complete it). What they want to do at 43 isn't perfect, but it'll make the intersection safer than it is now and it will help traffic flow on the highway. They'll likely need to do some work to the side roads that access 285 around CR43, and it didn't sound like they had any plans to work with the county on that. The side roads are ParkCo Road and Bridge's responsibility.
We do have a topic on it where we've posted the meeting notice, the scope of work, and the video of their public meeting; it has over 1,600 views.
All of the comments are being made in local Facebook groups and on NextDoor neighborhood groups.
