This is a "real, public" road project, now 4 years past the start date, with more delays and another $100M (estimated) cost overruns before it even breaks ground. HPP chip seal is a bargain by comparison.
I get what you're saying but it still doesn't negate or diminish the concerns that are going on with our association money and the roads we travel everyday. The county is too big a giant to take on coupled with the deep pockets they have for any type of lawsuit that comes their way. HPP doesn't have deep pockets so the board has to be proactive and manage our money and roads responsibly. It remains to be seen how the current board will handle the mess they inherited from the 2 previous boards since 2014. When the board fails to not only follow but fails to ENFORCE our bylaws w/reps that go rogue, or fails to manage the GM and the employees, whom we pay the salaries of, it doesn't look hopeful.
HPP chip seal isn't a bargain. Over $70,000 per mile. In less than a year we have potholes on the chip seal roads. It's failing already. That's OUR $$$$$$$ down the toilet. They've raised our road fees 10% to feed the chip seal monster. Priorities are upside down and safety obviously takes the back seat to chip seal. We're already in a lawsuit and our insurance rates have gone up. We can't afford any more lawsuits.
