That resonates as I am currently trying to corral a group of neighbors in fixing up a bridge at the entry to our rural road.
The key piece I would add is to point out that it is much cheaper to maintain the bridge rather than replace it if it fails.
- lisper 6y agoTo say nothing of the fact that it is much more likely to fail when it is under load, so it's not just a question of replacing the bridge, but also the likely loss of vehicles and possibly lives.
- Jtsummers 6y agoAdditionally, proper maintenance (or its analog to other disciplines) will usually identify when it's time to do a full replacement. Which is much better than finding out by way of catastrophe.
- nitrogen 6y agoI wonder if this is an area where, if you can get the initial agreement, a special tax district or some kind of cooperative with dues makes sense. That way the bridge stays maintained.
- abraae 6y agoDefinitely! The key part is "initial agreement".
