An upcoming event will offer business owners, residents and others an opportunity to discuss proposed changes to a section of U.S. Highway 6 in Palisade.

The listening session is scheduled for 3 to 7 p.m. Aug. 25 in the event hall of the Palisade Community Center, 120 W. Eighth St.

The Colorado Department of Transportation and Muller Engineering will host the session to offer information about a roadway alignment for U.S. Highway 6 and design alternatives for a section of the highway near its intersection with Elberta Avenue. 

Members of the project team will attend to discuss design alternatives and listen to comments. 

Officials from the Town of Palisade also will be on hand to discuss comprehensive planning.

The goal of  the session and other efforts is to select a recommended alternative to improve traffic, safety and multimodal operation along U.S. Highway 6. The project team will present a selected alternative at a public meeting planned for this fall.
