Visit THIS PAGE and you'll see that you're wrong. It looks like Transportation spent $1.2M improving intersections, including 82nd/Powell, in East County with General Fund money--a near first to spend this discretionary money on transportation.
Moreover, dirt streets stay dirt because their maintenance responsibility lies with the homeowners, NOT the city. If you want to pave the street you live on and it's NOT a major street, then it's on your dime. That's the way it's always been, that's the way it ought to stay.
You refuse to ackowledge facts, search for tidbits to make your anecdotal information seem true, and exploit the purpose of why we have an open forum like this--to reasonably disagree based on facts.
Reasonable people can disagree on whether or not we should have a pedestrian crossing at Flanders, whether or not it MIGHT be cheaper in 5-6 years to build a 15' span, or whether or not the trade-offs in additional costs are worth it given the time and saved carbon.
But it's inaccurate and disingenuous to take Mayor Potter's statements, and those similar to yours, and take them at face value.
