A plan to improve transportation in Denver

http://reason.org/files/reducing_congestion_denver.pdf

One of the more interest ideas is to create 4 new north-south "managed arterials"/freeways on US-93, Wadsworth, Colorado Blvd/University, Parker/Buckley/Airport/Tower/US 85.  And 5 new east-west freeways on Arapahoe Ave/Baseline, 104th, Colfax, US 285/Hampden, Ridgegate Parkway/Titan Rd.  This would require building about 125 new intersections at a cost of about 35 million each, for a total of $4.2 billion.

The total cost of the plan is $52 billion, with a large portion of it paid by tolls.
