SR 1 Colorado Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Morgan County Road Improvements

This Senate Resolution (SR 1) demands that the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) prioritize funding and implement road improvement projects for state highways in Morgan County. It cites a 2023 CDOT assessment showing 70% of Morgan County's non-interstate state highways (about 145 miles) have a drivability life of three years or less, likely declining to one year by 2025. The resolution urges CDOT to reevaluate its project planning to address this underserved condition, specifically addressing Morgan County's road maintenance needs. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new law or funding but formally requests CDOT action.

MINOR

The bill was converted from a draft Senate Resolution into a signed Act, changing its legal status from a non-binding expression of sentiment to an official legislative action. The text was reorganized to remove internal markup symbols and formatting artifacts while retaining the core message demanding road repairs in Morgan County. A new provision was added to formally direct copies of the resolution to the executive director of the Colorado Department of Transportation.

Scope change

The document's scope shifted from a draft proposal to an enacted law, but the substantive policy scope regarding Morgan County road repairs remains identical.

TECHNICAL

Removed internal legislative markup symbols (such as line numbers, shading indicators, and double underlining) and corrected formatting inconsistencies throughout the text.

Reordered the text to place the resolution title and sponsors at the top, followed by the 'Whereas' clauses and 'Be It Resolved' clauses, standardizing the layout for the final signed version.

REQUIREMENT

Added a formal directive requiring the Senate Resolution to be sent to Shoshana M. Lew, the executive director of CDOT, replacing a previous draft version of this clause.
