Good to see at least some infill is going on in the downtown area. As much as some people make fun of the Springs compared to Denver, I secretly want the Springs to blossom into a different city one of these days. Every time I am down there, I want it to be a more cosmopolitan place given how much closer to the mountains it is. It needs so badly to be Denver's cool cousin to the south instead of the ugly step sister.

How quaint and adorable that this is what passes for a "building boom" in downtown Colorado Springs.

But really, where am I gonna park?

Mountain man · #**450** Posted **Oct 26, 2017, 4:54 PM**

I heard some rumors about widening i25 between Monument and Castle Rock, can anyone confirm this? That stretch of road is a complete mess. I am surprised there isn't a passenger train linking the two cities together considering how many people in the Springs commute to Denver; and the amount of tourist flying into DIA for Colorado Springs.

It's in planning. Looks like it will add shoulders and one lane each way- tolled of course.

It's obviously not much compared to Denver or other metros of similar size, but to have 4 tower cranes in the city at one time is better than zero which is what we usually have. Also, I remember seeing the options for I-25 expansion and there were several. Everything from shoulder/single toll lane, to two more lanes and a third toll lane each side going all the way to C-470 (which seemed like overkill). I think someone posted the link earlier in this thread or the transportation thread.

New CU Boulder aerospace building breaks ground
Published: Oct. 26, 2017 - CU Boulder Today

Quote:

CU Boulder broke ground today on a new 144,000-square-foot aerospace engineering building, with even spacesuit-clad mascot Chip turning one of the first shovels-full of dirt for the project.

The state of Colorado is a hub of the nation’s aerospace industry, and the new facility, slated to open in the summer of 2019 on East Campus, aims to put CU Boulder’s nationally ranked Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the center of that innovation.

It’s nearly the exact same size as the MSU aerospace building that was just completed

Pretty interesting actually. It will be curious to see how accurate their assumptions are? They do use percentages as opposed to nominal increases so it does make lots of sense that smaller communities would grow faster.

Well considering how much larger and famous the Aerospace program at CU is that is not very good.
