History
The Northwest Parkway opened to the public in November 2003. In November 2005, a new intersection opened at Sheridan Boulevard in northern Broomfield. In August 2001, the cities of Westminster and Arvada put into motion the completion of an extension of the Northwest Parkway, sometimes termed W-470, to connect to SH 470, I-70 and US 6 in Golden. The city of Golden struck down the proposal, but in a compromise with the Colorado Department of Transportation, an environmental impact study is being done with a goal of CDOT to complete the beltway by 2015. Most likely, Indiana Street and SH 93 would be used to complete the beltway.
