CDOT also has a lot of ongoing studies for future highway projects.
In the case of California, we had similar directives to end highway projects – which the various highway agencies ignore.
Perhaps a Colorado resident can clarify, but this seems like the usual virtual-signaling bullshit. Just some of the projects currently going on:

Then the DMV better start cracking down on large trucks (F250, etc) as well. NHTSA “safety” standards have had all kinds of loopholes exempting large trucks and SUV from basic safety features including rollover protection, head restraint, and various impact protection systems.
One possible reason is their nationwide Road Safety Strategy program.
Or it could be all those crazy dashcam videos posted to the internet…
It is actually much worse than that. The problem they are having is that street-running LRT trains get stuck in traffic, causing bunching and other scheduling issues. The obvious solution is to get cars completely out of the way of the trains. But despite an official “transit first” policy, the SFMTA won’t do that. So instead they will spend >$100 million on a new signal system, which will map train locations in real-time simply to tell dispatchers what they already know – that the trains are stuck in traffic.
