Costs to improve roads harmed by residential development
As requested by Weary Road Warrior - link posting
Lancaster City Councilman Dave Smith said that while every cent helped, he did some quick calculations and said the bill, if passed, might bring Lancaster between $200,000 and $400,000.
"Our problems are much bigger than that," Smith said.
Zekas said City Council had to, for the first time in years, dip into city's rainy day fund for the 2002 budget.
Street Superintendent Mitch Nusser said most of the city's growth in recent years had been residential, and it was a losing proposition for the city.
"For every dollar of revenue it brings into the city, residential growth costs us $1.57 in services," Nusser said.
Does the same problem exist here?
