ROAD TESTING
There is a branch of engineering called "forensics". This means simply the "science of reconstructing". A visual inspection of Lake Ashton roads will indicate to even the most untrained eye that there are literally hundreds of locations where the roadway has failed. Testing the "good" portions of the roadway may not indicate the cause of failure of the "bad" sections of road, so we use the science of forensics to test at the apparent points of failure in order to determine the exact cause at the points of failure. All of the testing now indicates negligence in the design, construction, and testing of the roadway sub-base at these points of failure. The District engineer could perform one hundred or more additional tests at other apparent points of failure and they most likely would yield the same results. Mr. Eaton asked this question at the last CDD board meeting and received a detailed reply from the engineer. There is now conclusive evidence showing that a good portion of our roads were never built correctly. The developer, former engineer, and road contractors should pay to correct these defects, not the residents.
