“Our bigger problem with streets is the cost of paving is going up way more than funding. I would just estimate since the start of COVID to now, paving the streets more than 50% more expensive than it was. So almost a 10% average increase year over year is just what we’re seeing and the funds aren’t going up that much,” de Vinck told the Committee.
Pasadena diverted paving/maintenance funds to vision zero’s agenda 7 years ago. No duh they are running into budget issues now.
The elected officials could, IDK, pass a new budget and stop complaining?
