Denver Planners Seek To Reduce Commuting Distances

"Facing the challenge of finding money to pay for new roads and for the other costs that come with commuting, cities along Colorado's Front Range are starting to examine whether they can draw the right mix of jobs and homes to keep more residents from driving long distances to work.
