Safer there than primary streets in Boston. A friend lost money on every test drive when rebuilding Lotus Europa cars Boston as he had to replace at least one strut. Between utility dig crews' bad patches and Jack Frost's po-tholes and frost heaves, our paved streets are often in worse condition than unpaved -- which can be much more cheaply resurfaced in the spring with a grader. However the Condition=Intolerable on Greg's Stowe streets sounds like they've not been regraded and while there may be clearance for a Porsche or Lotus (not so rutted at to be two wheel tracks), it might be as hazardous for the sporty stiff suspension and decorative hubcaps as my city streets. Surface=gravel would be a data improvement to much of the tiger imports in my original hometown upcountry in Maine, but I've heard some of the winterized cottage neighborhoods have been paved in the last few decades, either being converted from private to public ownership or by subscription. Alas the cost to pave the one that would improve the value of the backside of Dad's woods far exceeds the value he'd gain. -- Bill in Boston n1...@arrl.net bill.n1...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
