Holy Potholes Batman!

You may have actually been in a warzone. They filmed a bunch of scenes from the new Red Dawn flick in Detroit.. One of my friends from highschool was an extra during one of the scenes where they blew up a few cars and blew all the windows out of a building.... Turns out the whole area (3 or 4 city blocks) had been abandoned, so the film makers just bought it from the city and blew it all up.

So the film makers got a good return on a $25.00 investment??


You know Zach, I feel your pain.
I spent 23 years on the highways with CDOT.
It didn't matter what we were doing, we were always in somebodies way. Snow shift was the worst, we are trying to clear the roads so the dumbasses could make it home and yet all they do is bitch and moan, flip you off etc.
We were always "number one" in their eyes....

Are municipalities liable for damage caused by potholes?

Might want to take a look at CRS 24-10-102 thru 24-10-120. I suspect it would be a tough road.

Yeah, it's about what I thought. Figured I'd ask though.

I spent two summers in college working for the county engineers and road maintenance crews and came to the conclusion that everyone that drives on roads should work on a road crew at least once. You gain a certain level of awareness and respect for others' safety.

I blew a tire last year in Westminster. Called the city and they practically laughed me off of the phone. The potholes are ridiculous this year. As stated earlier I hope they get some of them repaired before someone lays a bike down hitting one.

My truck got hit with overspray from one of the line painting trucks when there were no signs or cones. Same deal, they blew it off, no responsibility. Bunch of bullshit.

Filing a claim with a city is a HUGE pain in the ass. Even when it is something simple like a city worker rear-ending you. I had one where a tractor hit someone in traffic and the City of Pueblo tried to claim immunity, lol.
