E235 - How a transportation department has morphed into an urban planner

Colorado’s Department of Transportation has changed and morphed from an agency that took care of roads and bridges and safety campaigns into an agency that is about promoting certain kinds of movement and now even development. There is an article written for the website Complete Colorado by Joshua Sharf titled, Commission turns CDOT into Colorado’s urban planner. Today I welcome Joshua Sharf to talk about where we are and where we are going. All that and more on the Driving You Crazy Podcast.
