Okay, Lafayette, along with other Boulder County municipal brethren, loves to talk about walkability, and bike lanes, but under-budgeting for sidewalks and road maintenance is not responsible behavior. Seems to me that the City Council needs to do some serious prioritizing and put maintenance and maintenance financial planning high on the list. As an HOA board member, I am responsible for ensuring that our HOIA has a reserve e fund to pay for the maintenance of our common property -- that's the law. Why are municipalities not required to do that kind of planning? My suspicion is that elected officials rely on shiny new stuff to talk about during elections rather than maintenance efforts.

Deferring maintenance is like traveling work in a production line -- it keeps the line moving but just increases future costs.
