A city crew shovels hot asphalt into a dug-out
segment across the north side of Colorado Avenue and 21st Street Sept. 2. The
block of 21st between Colorado and Pikes Peak Avenue (the stop sign in the
background) is scheduled to stay closed through Sept. 12 as roadwork continues
there. Photo looks north.

2C was the name of the city-sponsored ballot measure that voters approved in last November's election. It established a .62 percent sales tax over a five-year span, dedicated to road improvements.
The upgrades consist of concrete upgrades (where applicable) and new paving on a prioritized list of road segments. A city website with 2C information can be found at
