In November of 2016, Wheat Ridge voters approved ballot measure 2E, a ½ cent increase in the City’s sales tax rate in order to fund investments that will improve transportation infrastructure, create opportunities for economic development, and enable additional “place-making” to attract those wanting to live in Wheat Ridge. Projects that will move forward with funding from the sales tax increase include: improvements to Anderson Park and its facilities; installation of I-70 on/off ramps for the Clear Creek Crossing mixed-use development; widening of Wadsworth Blvd. into an attractive corridor for use by bikes, cars and pedestrians; and improvements to public infrastructure and amenities to encourage economic development and transit opportunities at the Wheat Ridge × Ward Station.
