<Suit Over Pikes Peak Seeks a Road Less Graveled

Gotta love when someone quotes from their own "study".  As for the Forest
Service. . .they just don't want to maintain the hill.  As far as the
run-off issue. . .there would be NO road if they were to stop maintaining
the gravel surface.  Nature is funny about those things

<The nature advocacy group said the city is ignoring its own studies and a
<Forest Service
<recommendation that the road be paved to reduce environmental damage
caused by
<runoff from
<the tons of gravel used to maintain it.

Whine, whine, bitch, bitch.  Please Gail, give us a more specific example
other than "so many other things"  

<"Perhaps it's appropriate that they call it America's Mountain, because
like
<so many other things in America, they took it and trashed it," said Gail
Snyder, a member of
<the Sierra Club and the Pikes Peak Advisory Commission.

Bitch mode off. :)
