Here's the issue with PWAC and other CDD type of committees, and governing bodies in general, they all prefer stability and want to avoid change which is considered disruption. . . If you notice through history, economic or political, humans prefer predictability, and conformity. however, history and economics are not static, the world is always changing, as comes along with additional humans, the larger the gaggle of humans, the harder it is to make everyone happy. . . and the harder the gaggle is to control. .
So the easiest way to govern the gaggle is to avoid changes, but that's when maintenance and safety falls behind, until the pressure of accidents and examples gets too big to ignore. .. . . same pattern, different location. . lots of examples in history of avoiding safety best practices from the beginning and then having to make bigger investments in the infrastructure later. . if you think humans all do it right the first time, you haven't read enough history

Nice essay but doesn't resemble the discussions concerning the RPMs. Many of the CDDs were leaning towards installing them but were concerned due to a 2015 recommendation against it. They asked for an updated opinion prior to proceeding and the result was the current study that echoed the 2015 recommendations. The decision against RPMs was not a desire to avoid changes, the decision was a reversal of their original opinion.
I don't know which subcontractor built the paths and I don't know why that matters. The paths were likely built to a specification and that specification appears to be consistent with Federal guidelines.
The paths are safe today with RPMs only in curves, hills, and constricted spaces. The path down Marsh Bend would benefit by some reflectors in the sharp corners, and hopefully those will be installed soon, but District 15 is not part of the PWAC.
