I. Mayor Bums told Council he nllendcd the Me1ro Mayor;' Caucus annual spring rttnal on

U1csc hams . Mayor Bums added th.it the General Assembly is looking at • bill 1h31 "'Ii incrc:isc fundinc
this year from l11c ge neral fund surplus for highways and they arc trying to fle.-c some of that money for
transit. Further, he said, there were presentations from environmental groups and tbcrc was a IOl of
material on transport.11ion and gro\\1b is.sues . He wcnl on to say Lhat Mclro Vision \\'ai di5CUSSCCI and -.,u

3 101 of years on commiuccs al DR COG concerning metropolit:111-\\id c planning. There were Denver
Chamber of Commerce transportnlion comm iu cc people , the Blue Rilhon Transportation Commiucc. aod
what U,cy •greed wiU~ and whot some of the strong business people said was lh;i~ after :ill the years or
contention in this area. these citi~ and entities have really come together in the last few )'C.1J'S. Some of
them thought lhnl 1997 was the pi ·,otoi year for trnnsportation planning ad, _,uon. and 1h31 ifa major
adoption or transportolion and growtl1 measures did not occur tl1is year. it mil be ten or fifteen years
before we will C\'Cr be ba ck in 1his posi lion again . ti is a watershed year, he said. in a lot of their minds
