Deterioration of parks and roads
Monday, August 27 at 12:35 PM

Robert B. Miller of Aurora writes:

The deterioration of the roads in Cherry Creek Park are partly due to inferior workmanship in their original installation. These roads and several in Arapahoe County, such as Potamac street near the Justice Center, show clear signs of inadequate preparation of the road bed and asphalt application of insufficient thickness.
Therefore, remediation requires adequate standards as well as inspections that assure the work is being done in a quality manner in conformance with specifications.
Furthermore, funding for special use facilities such as the State Parks and for high use public roads requires the imposition of adequate user fees.
This will necessitate the preparation of specific revenue and expense budgets for each major asset and effective management.
In the absence of such procedures, the continued deterioration of our infrastructure is assured!
