Adams County is working on a plan to build a major new highway on the east side of Denver International Airport that would connect I-70 near Watkins with Weld County Road 49.
The proposal would turn Imboden Road into a major North-South transportation line.
"It makes me really angry," said Jonathan Ziegler, a homeowner who says he "went ballistic" when he heard about the plans that would put a 7-lane highway outside of his front door.
Currently the project is in its "study" phase and the planning supervisor didn't return Fox 31's repeated phone calls.
The 'alignment study' obtained by Fox 31 calls Imboden Road a "major regional arterial," this is interesting considering an unscientific traffic study conducted during Tuesday's rush hour found 7 cars passing in just over 10 minutes.
The current study indicates that money for building the road could be years away.
"It's a waste of money," said James Johnson who takes the southern part of Imboden Road often as he heads to Front Range Airport.
Johnson doesn't actually live in the rural community that's home to nice houses on 10 acre plots but Samantha Clinton does.
"We moved out here for the country life," the mother of three said. She worries that not only would the major highway cut her property values in half or more but a major highway would totally change that country life and put her three daughters at risk.
They would learn to drive on a major highway rather than the small two lane road in front of their house. "I don't want to see my kids or anybody else's kids get killed because of a semi."
