Mr. Radice: Now THAT sounds like Caltrans..I can believe that..The engineers do not know how to say no, only to modify so it might be slightly less dangerous, or move the bottlenecks down 200 feet or so..See recent hideous tragedy on the SF Bay Bridge- Caltrans loves to neck down very fast roads, with no apparent reason for the necking (to the driver), but to the engineer, in plan, he has told you to go 50 mph, not 80mph..I personally don’t see east coast highways with the same cognition problem and mean to bring it up – just looked at one last week..
Mr. Courtney, yes, no curbs! I forgot about that!! I think that is in BMP standards?
Mr. Aceto, in C-vill we costed each stall (I am unsure if you mean profit from stalls, or cost of construction, but all I know about is cost of construction) at $200. At UCSD, they costed them at $2,000 each..I kid you not, I do not know why the disparity..But similarly, in C-vill we bonded concrete sidewalks to City Standards at $75 a square foot, and in California it is more than quadruple that, I forget the exact number..
Perhaps you are wondering at how much value one space is expected to bring the retailer?
And Mr. courtney, you forgot – in my rammed earth house, I only eat fruit that has fallen on the ground (i NEVER pick it live off the tree) and only within fifty feet of my house..
