Contracting out work is only as effective as the specs and enforcement of the contract, right now, either the specs agreed to are inadequate, or enforcement is non existent.
That is right. Inexperienced board, inexperienced GM writing up a contract...it started out from the gate w/the guy mowing 18-24" strips. With the line of sight complaints, the mowing has gone deeper in some areas of the main drags. More than 10' cut back on the main drags is required to get the line of sight at min 35 mph speed limit.
RTSC was trying to get a policy written on line of sight specs so each and every board and GM wouldn't be starting from square 1 but RTSC got shut down before that happened. Those in charge weren't interested in being proactive and progressive. So here we are back to square 1, no policy, and inexperienced people managing our roads.
Trying to save $ and time isn't proactive, isn't about safety. I would think that would be inclusive of the duty of managing our 137 miles of roads. Big responsibility w/the approx 12,000 people living and traveling on HPP roads, not counting those that live outside who travel on our roads.
