Rich Rifkin: Despite new tax money, Davis streets continue to crumble
Everyone who drives, walks or rides a bike in Davis knows the pavement condition on most of our streets and bike paths is not good.
According to a city update one year ago, 5.5 percent of the street surfaces were “failed,” 29.3 percent were “poor” and 39.4 percent were “fair.” Only 25.8 percent of the roads were in “good” condition. Davis had and still has the worst streets in our region.
On a 100-point scale, where above 70 is the low-end of “good,” our grade was 57 last January, near the bottom of “fair.”
The statewide average was 65; the city of Folsom scored 74; Elk Grove 73; Woodland 69; Dixon 67; and Winters 64.
