McMad Update
Longtime readers will remember a discussion of a new McDonald's being planned for an old neighborhood.
Lynn Pressnall, and aide to City Councilman Marcia Johnson sent the following comment concerning plans for the intersection:
The Colfax/Krameria intersection has been scheduled for improvements including a left-turn light but has not happened previously due to problems with gaining enough land to add lanes and smooth out the off-set intersection. The developer, Drake Development, gave the land to the City in May of 2004. Since Colfax is a state highway, funds were then applied for by Denver to complete the improvements. The intersection will be redesigned.
To be fully informed about the background of this development, and to have a full description of "use by right", please go to our website at www.denvergov.org/councildistrict5. On our site you will have access to statements regarding this development by Councilwoman Johnson, the City Attorney, the Manager of Public Works as well as access to site plans for the development.
This certainly sounds like good news. The amount of land involved appears to be small, and wouldn't have affected the buildings in the strip mall, only perhaps a couple of parking places. I'm not certain how much goodwill this is going to buy the developer, given the level to which relations had deteriorated. But it can't hurt, and it also avoids having businesses at an intersection with a reputation for creating accidents.
