This uses a combination of state, local and federal funds. What’s wild to me is that this is just one of many, MANY creeks in the exurban county where I grew up that are blocked by aging culverts. We focus on highway maintenance deferment, but our local road infrastructure is also underfunded. 2/
As @strongtowns.org emphasizes, suburbia and exurbia are Ponzi schemes. We haven’t begun to reckon with what it will cost to maintain the infrastructure for my parents and everyone else to maintain this exurban lifestyle. 3/3
