Road maintenance in El Paso County
Maybe I’m just the curious type, but I have a few questions that I bet many of you also would like to know the answers to:
Why is it that as I walk or drive by literally every road maintenance or construction project, there are anywhere from 2-6 guys standing around apparently doing nothing, while 1 or 2 people are working? Are we employing more supervisors than workers? Shouldn’t it be the other way around. Seems like quite a waste of taxpayer money.
Why is it that workers that one would assume have at least some expertise at their job, are not able to lay a patch on a road that is even with the existing surface, and is even moderately smooth? It just can’t be that hard, can it? Does anyone review the results of these jobs?
