I have lived in seven places in the US and have traveled many more places. The roads we have here in Ada County are excellent and it is this organization we have to thank. They plan for new development so the roads are upgraded to serve the homes and businesses as they are developed, they do preventive maintenance on pavements so we have durable surfaces, potholes have a life expectancy of about 36 hours maximum from what I can tell. If I even see a pothole, it is never there when I go back in a couple days. They plan for cars and bikes and pedestrians equally well. Bike lanes are being added to make my cycling less dangerous and when there is an accident they take action as indicated to correct problems. There is a column in the paper weekly called Road Wizard that answers issues raised by people writing with complaints, observations, and questions. It is entertaining and informative. I hear complaints about ACHD and just laugh because people here do not know what a bad road organization is like. Could they be better? Well of course the could, and I think they try to do that all the time.
