Tired of potholes? The interminable waits at the red light? The traffic jam on the way home?

Now’s your chance to give transporation officials responsible for maintaining roads your feedback. Beginning Monday, El Paso County will conduct a series of five, two-hour workshops to get input from residents about current and future drainage projects, sidewalks, bridges, roads and highways.

“We all complain about traffic and this is our chance to turn complaints into action,” said Andre P. Brackin, county engineer.

The input will help El Paso County update its “Major Transportation Corridors Plan,” a document that will guide how transportation dollars are spent in the coming years. “People will work together to identify priorities that will feed directly into what we study as part of the planning process” explained Brackin.
