Cheyenne Mayor: No Excuses for Pothole Problem
Cheyenne Mayor Patrick Collins says there are no excuses for the city s pothole problem, the city simply hasn t been doing the basic maintenance required to keep its 350 miles of roads in good shape. Our Street and Alley crews are working so hard to patch the potholes, but they do not control the required maintenance of crack filling, sealing the roads, and milling and overlays, Collins said Friday in his Mayor s Minute column.
Currently, $4.5 million in 5th penny money goes to roads each year, but Collins says it s not enough to stabilize them.

As hiking crowds continue to surge at Colorado’s busiest 14,000-foot mountain, officials are wondering about the possibility of permits and shuttles.
Online survey-takers are being asked “how likely” they would be to make reservations and board a ride to the Quandary Peak trailhead, off Colorado 9 about a 20-minute drive from Breckenridge. The survey includes scales to rate the concept of mandatory or voluntary shuttles during the busy season, along with ideas such as expanding Quandary’s parking lot, paid parking and “consistent enforcement” of rules.
Trailhead parking is quick to fill in the summer, leading cars to line either side of the highway and create more hazards on private property and adjacent roads, blocking emergency vehicles from getting in and out. That’s the picture painted by a study that preceded the recent survey.
