Colorado highway project could end gold-panning business
A sheaf of Colorado agencies are in agreement with a plan to spend federal stimulus funds on Highway 119 that would build a wildlife bridge over the highway to keep bighorn sheep out of traffic, end congestion on the road to casinos in Black Hawk, build a mine-tailings treatment plant to restore life to long-dead North Clear Creek water, and improve cellphone coverage, but it would also mean the end of a gold-panning business, and the owner of that business doesn't want to go.
