mile drive from Denver to Vail will take nearly double the time to about four hours.  Everyone agrees that something must be done, and soon.

 That's where arguments begin.

 Opponents say the transportation agency has already made up its mind to widen I-70 from two lanes in each direction to three through the narrow Corredor that is home to Idaho Springs, Georgetown, Silver Plume and other historic former mining communities. State officials insist no decision has been made.

 "the historic of use from the interstate give visitors a sense of place. If they widen the highway it will block views and people will only stop if their cars break down," said Cassondra Shenk, Woman for the tiny Silver Plume, population 200.

 They have no vision. Their widened highway Will be out of date by the time it is finished," added Idaho Springs restaurant tour Chip Bair.

 Like many others in the Corredor between Denver and the ski resorts, Bair prefers a high-speed monorail snaking its way into the mountains: "It could be a tourist attraction that would help pay for itself."

 The problem with a monorail is the $6 billion to $7 billion dollar estimated cost, according to transportation agency official Cecelia joy. She also said no monorail has been built on such a steep grade. ^[[12a]] [[/attached newpaper clipping]]
