Benefits of reconstructing roads to current size <br /> and scope without curb and gutter over proposed 30' road: <br /> - Unnecessary to relocate mailboxes, power poles, utility boxes and fire <br /> hydrants. Thus saving time, labor and money in the process. <br /> - Minimal loss of trees and front lawns <br /> - Narrower roads encourage slower traffic speeds. (City of Longmont, <br /> Colorado in association with Swift and Associates released a study <br /> that narrower streets are safer.) <br /> - Less maintenance costs due to smaller road (smaller cracks to seal, <br /> less surface area to sealcoat, etc.) <br /> - Costs less than proposed road both now and in future reconstruction <br /> • (Future reconstructions will probably not reduce the size of the present <br /> road; so a smaller, less-expensive road now also means spending less <br /> of the budget on such reconstruction 30+ years from now as well) <br /> --Isolated drainage problems could be addressed with landscape <br /> garden amenities and/or special grading instead of expensive curb, <br /> gutter and storm sewer projects. <br /> - It is what a majority of residents want <br /> - Reconstruction can possibly be done yet this year. <br />
