ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY

of a section of

Colorado Hwy 391

From Alameda north to Federal Center Gate 2 (approx. 1 mile)

In Mid-February 2003, another member in MHJC brought an idea to MHJC, it was for patrols in MHJC to adopt certain available sections of Colorado highways in the Denver Metro area.  We liked and picked up on the idea, and contacted the CDOT (Colorado Department of Transportation) to apply for a section.

We were given many areas to chose from, and we decided on Hwy 391 in Lakewood.  Still a city street, but in an urban setting, it provides great exposure and scenery.  It is a short section compared to others, but will still be fun to keep clean.  The west side borders the US Federal Center, which has grass and trees along it.  The east side borders and Elementary School, a Middle School, more sport fields, and the Jefferson County Stadium that holds sporting events year round.  In Mid-March, we were approved for a section of Hwy 391, and our signs went up in Mid-April.

Even with our small group, we plan to manage the strip at least 4 times this year til our anniversary date of April 1st every year!  The following below are our scheduled cleanup dates we did, so if you drive by that day, honk and wave!  "Jeep,Jeep"!!!!!

CDOT posts these nice signs at the beginning of the section on each end with good exposure...
