Road Projects
The city uses voter-approved capital improvement funds, funds from impact fees, dedicated transportation and solid waste taxes, and general fund to complete roads projects. We also partner with agencies such as Adams County, City & County of Denver, Colorado Department of Transportation and Regional Transportation District to deliver projects that have regional benefits.
Commerce City strives to create a quality transportation network that best suits the community by involving residents through online surveys and forums and neighborhood meetings.
