Commerce City focuses on road changes after shuttle bus crash.

After a tragic accident in Commerce City involving a shuttle bus and a pickup truck, the city has made a safety improvement by restricting left turns at the intersection of Tower Road and 81st Street. This change, effective as of Friday, allows only turning left on a green arrow, with corresponding signage in place. The decision was fast-tracked following a recent fatal crash, as part of a broader safety initiative. Commerce City officials hope this adjustment will enhance safety at the intersection, where a fatal crash occurred on July 13. The police department confirmed on Facebook that the investigation into the crash is still ongoing. Moving forward, the city plans to implement similar left-turn rules at four more intersections in the area, with further changes expected in the future based on crash data and engineering assessments.
