May take another 10+ years before something actually happens on the connector freeway from I-70/I-225 to Denver International Airport / DIA, but it's a start...
I would like them to add numbers to the N. Gun Club Rd. and Jackson Gap Rd. interchanges and build 70W-to-PenaE and PenaW-to-70E free-flow ramps, so traffic doesn't have to go through the at-grade intersections to make those connections.

That would be nice as well, but I believe every inch of Peña Boulevard, including existing on and off ramps are within the borders of the City of Denver, which annexed that ROW when DIA was being built 30+ years ago.
None of it is maintained by CDOT, including plowing, either. Denver would have to annex additional land or work woth CDOT on a compromise to add those I-70 ramps.
