Roads
After the class discussion I began to think about the topic of new roads. After hearing from Justin and Mike about being upset if new roads weren't being built every 2 years I was a little bit shocked. Whenever I go home and I see construction every two years I feel like there are better things that money could be spent on. Most of the new roads being built in my area are ones that don't really need to be fixed. They may have a few cracks but that is to be expected in Michigan. I think that it would be much more practical and cost effective if they would spend more time filling the cracks rather than tearing up the roads and rebuilding them every two years.

I agree, I think the government has set a precedent that roads will be fixed on a regular basis (every two years or so) and this is unnecessary. This again goes back to the need for a change in culture and mindset for us to revamp the economy and focus our time, effort, and money on the most important issues for the future.
ReplyDeleteI agree to an extent. There are some major roads that need fixing where I live. Roads, such as Orchard Lake and Telegraph, need fixing because there are endless pot holes that make the road dangerous to drive on. I believe it is important to have safe roads for citizens.
