City refutes budget numbers
June 26, 2012 | Paul HillsdonWe received a rebuttal from the City’s Manager of Transportation, Jaime Boan, in regards to a post last week on the modal distribution of the Engineering budget. Here’s the response in full:
The first thing to consider is that our 10-Year Plan and Capital Plans indicate works that are both new/improved infrastructure and some maintenance (repaving) but excludes most maintenance costs which are done through our Operations Division. As a result, for the purposes of comparing spending by mode it is best to exclude the maintenance and consider it only new/improved infrastructure.
