Hawks: Waste of tax dollars and resources
Letter to the editor
I do not know what person from Pitkin County Road and Bridge or CDOT decided it would be a good idea to control traffic flow by having three snowplows block all lanes of Highway 82 during the morning, evening, or noon commute. Especially when there is no snow on the road.
The person who came up with this idea should be forever made to drive 30 mph for the rest of their life behind three snowplows.
I do not get road rage, but this is infuriating. Why is Pitkin County Road and Bridge or CDOT causing unnecessary frustration for commuters, making employees late for work, and in general wasting time, resources, and tax dollars?
Please use my tax dollars and our resources to fill potholes. Main Street Aspen is one giant pothole. The seams in the upper deck of the road in Snowmass Canyon are one elongated pothole.
I will not even get started on the living lab: Stupid, Hyman Avenue one-way, just stupid.
Stop doing stupid things with my tax dollars!
