In a couple of days, weâll have a good idea of the direction Grand Junction will be taking for at least the next few years.
Deadline for City Council ballots to be returned is 7 p.m. Tuesday. Election results will follow shortly thereafter.
Itâs been an interesting election season featuring puzzling non-participation in most public forums by four of the eight candidates, a dustup over public lands and recreation questions posed by the Outdoor Recreation Coalition, and outright opposition to city efforts to foster private-sector development on Grand Junctionâs riverfront. Not to mention the two related measures which would finally allow marijuana sales in the city and another non-controversial measure which would clear the way for a trail section along the river.
