good question "mama" I would also like to know Why these people are getting any type of raise when most of the working people in the valley have taken a cut in pay or hours to keep their jobs ?
The loss of a human life no matter what the circumstances may be is always heartbreaking for the family and friends of the deceased . I would like to offer my condolences to Martin's family . I did not know the man but I am sure he will be missed .
I see Saul Alinsky's brain washed puppets have jumped on another American , again with his rule 5 and 12 . Have you no shame ? Hey guys just were do you hide your Red Star tattoo ?
Most of the " Vacant Land " you speak of was originally zoned as protected " Open Green Space " until the City Council's majority of greedy Realtors and Land Developers decided that the mountain area should zoned to have the same density as Manhattan . Eagle Ridge only got their permits when they promised that there would only be three major condo buildings and a minor shopping center and sports field .
the truth is: The Grand was worried that their guests wouldn't be able to come and go when they pleased during the Vintage Car and Motor Cycle Races . The Issue wasn't safety at all the whole course could have been surrounded by "Jersey Barriers " Safety never was an issue anyway as hardly ever did either a car or motor cycle leave the course . The races always shut down every couple of hours to allow any local traffic access anyway ! It took ten years to get the town booked out for these events and only one whining johnny come lately PC driven entity and a council with out a back bone to kill our last chance of the summer season to bring income and new people into the town . Many of the competitors and spectators returned for the ski season and added Steamboat to their summer vacation itinerary also . The fools should have understood that every room on the course would have been booked . Now we can say What September Guests ?
there are very few ways a truck can tip over on a curve and going to fast is the primary cause , next would be the driver drops a wheel off the pavement and jerks the steering wheel while at speed to get back on the road third would be the weight shifted in the trailer . a posted speed limit of 30 mph for loaded trucks and vehicles over 30,000 pounds would stop 90% of the truck accidents on that pass
10 4 Fred , years ago when I was first learning to drive truck I was taught to go down Rabbit Ears west side in a gear low enough that I had to give it fuel to make it move ( we had no engine brakes and I still don't trust them ) many is the time I drove no faster that 7 MPH down that 7 miles of road , so it took me an hour or more to get down thats OK 35 years later I'm still here and have never had a problem on any pass . We need a maximum speed limit of 35 MPH on that section of Pass to slow down the 85,000 pound trucks heck anything over 30,000 and that includes a lot of your RVs folks.
Why isn't there a posted speed limit of 30 mph or less for loaded trucks driving west bound down Rabbit Ears Pass ? There are to many wrecks on this section of highway , most due to flat land or rookie drivers driving 50-55 mph and then turning his brakes to glass when attempting to slow down for a 45 mph curve .
