<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto">I agree with you about the roads. It seems like they’re always adding things on and fixing things that don’t need to be fixed but yet they can’t fix the roads that need it the most. There are a lot of roads in Pueblo that need to be fixed but instead of fixing those they’re doing stuff to roads that don’t need it. What is that old saying, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it! That’s what seems to happen with a lot of these roads around here. I think that train track that goes up the 25 would be a perfect train track to use for Amtrak to go between southern Colorado on way up to the north. I know when I was in California, the buses would come right up to the train platform and pick up people and take them around whatever city they happen to be in. Well, maybe not quite right up to the platform but you guys get the picture. <br><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Nov 17, 2019, at 7:29 AM, ReNae Anderson via Colorado-Talk <colorado-talk@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">This is interesting and I actually agree with this. lthough there are abandoned railroad tracks in Avon and other areas around, there really is no good area with the curves and the grades, for a train. However, I wish they would focus on the road, especially around the tunnel. It is extremely rotted and can send a car Off-balance. Rather than focusing so much on making new lanes and interchange is around Floyd Hill, they really should fix the road on both sides of the tunnel, and from the tunnel through Vail Pass. There are more accidents there than just about anywhere in the high country. The roughness of the road could help decrease the number of accidents And could make it much safer for drivers.<div><br></div><div>Through this whole area, if they would put expansion plates in, such as they have in Alaska and even in Glenwood Canyon, this could help in the rough road being damaged each year by the ice and snow, trucks and all the vehicles, especially since they are required to have chains or snow tires. Each summer, they patch up the road, but it does not keep for very long. This should be a larger focus given than what it is right now.<br><br><div dir="ltr">Karyn ReNae Anderson</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Nov 16, 2019, at 3:26 PM, Gary Van Dorn via Colorado-Talk <colorado-talk@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">
