Some days I'm just not dialed in; matter of time or scattered mind

Yeah, I only got a flyover take on this with my first pass; quite the fascinating proposal. Thanks to Michael Roberts at Westword who has a piece on this I got a nice 2nd bite.

Interstate 25 from Santa Fe Drive to 20th Street is the busiest slab of Colorado's highway system, with an estimated 250,000 vehicles using at least part of it on a daily basis — and that number is expected to hit 300,000 by 2040. In the meantime, approximately 1,000 crashes per year, or around three a day, take place along this five-mile stretch.

What an amazing opportunity if difficult to pull together.
