Default Re: Road repairs

Not counting bridges and culvert maintenance, just exactly how much linear road needs to maintained in The Villages? I think someone has a very good idea what the total annualized cost of road maintenance is today. Farner and Barley, Wildwood, do much of the civil engineering for The Villages. They could give you an answer. I do know that the cost of asphalt went from about $150 to about $350 per ton during 2003-2006. Similar price increases for cement as well. Indexing costs to an municipal cost index (MCI) escalator would be in order for most projections but asphalt and concrete prices haven't been tracking this index well. Something to think about.
