Who dreamed up this new paved half-highway to Mancos? Somebody dangles a grant before the commissioners and away we go. Let’s see, a 10-foot wide cement surface (so it doesn’t wear out.) Of course it won’t, it won’t be used that much!
Is there really an urgent need? No! Rarely do you see many bicycle riders or hikers going to or from Mancos. Then add horseback rider access? Maybe add baby stroller access if they had lights and windshield wipers. Then, the year-round surface would need to be heated and lit. What about skateboarder access?
I could go on and on (I am going on and on). Voters, resist this idea when it comes up. Save local taxpayer dollars for necessary needs.
