The Boulder Daily Camera reports that funding for maintenance and upgrades to Boulder’s transportation system is facing a crisis so severe that officials are suggesting breaking with tradition and allowing advertising at city bus stops, or charging a new maintenance fee.
The City Council on Tuesday will be asked at its study session to consider some creative ways to fund up to $14.5 million in annual maintenance costs. Officials said the costs of raw materials, such as concrete and pavement, have skyrocketed in recent years, while the national recession has led to a decline in local sales-tax collections.
