just thought id let everyone know that they seem to be starting to chip seal quite a bit and just to be careful

LazyJ

in case you want to look at the 2008 area schedule

BabyCakes10

wow thats cool that they have a schedule

LazyJ

well after years of cleaning that [size=7]SHIIT![/size] off my cars custom wheels i decided it'd be a great idea to keep my eyes and ears open about this crap so usually after summer starts i keep an eye on it...even though its on a 9 year rotating schedule...

psycon

Thanks Lazy, I've been asking about this for months!

BabyCakes10

another interesting fact

LazyJ

this would be why you have only seen it maybe 2.125 times in your life....

BabyCakes10

did u have to calculate that out? jk


Thanks for the chip seal updates guys...will be sure to avoid those areas

LazyJ

no...if i had it would have resulted in an actual equivalent of 2.444444444 but i rounded down considering i dont think you had a clue what most of the world was for atleast a year or two

BabyCakes10

wow u almost graduated to words outside of my vocab....i'm a baby still younguns these days

red636

ya i know what u mean.....youngens

OK, I am only in college algebra, but how in the heck do you get 2.125 out of 2.44* if you round down?

* = I couldn't figure out how to put the line above the 4 like it should be.

LazyJ

"to" words
or "TWO" words ?

LazyJ

the 2.125 comes from figuring she really only comprehended 19.5 years out of the 22 yeas she has lived...comes out to 2.16 but i like using 1/8" incriments since most of the world cant calculate for 16ths or 32nds.

shadow d hedgehog

Ahh, ok.

Don't know if you have the math down (and really don't care...), but maybe you need to work on spelling and grammar now.
If the Chipseal Program is on a 9 year cycle, why have they done the street in front of my house twice and I have only lived here about 3 years??

Skittle

they just did our neighborhood, and its a major PITA

shaner

I thought that Hubbs would have come along with some rediculous math equation for this by now. You know, something like... She is 22 but x^2+y^3=c tells us how many years she has comprehended society... and every nine years they rotate the schedule keeping in mind that x^2-y^2=c^3xa^2 so we can determine that it has happened x^3-3yx^2 times in her lifetime.

LazyJ

its that damn time again!

Yeah. There doing Chinden right now. The wife gets to work late at the Pit because of it.

Hoard

Hate it hate it hate it.
Took the bike to go see a friend off Vista yesterday. Got off the exit and damn near turned back around when I saw what it was like.

LazyJ

they are doing my entire neighborhood and surrounding main streets oh joy...guess im glad i havent really done much street riding this year

Linker33

Yep, they've arrived in Columbia Village. I came home today to find my entire street's now a tow away zone between 6am-6pm.

Liteone

All the side streets from Vista west along overland have been done and sprayed black.

Who ever came up with this idea should be

Why in the hell does chip seal need to be laid down in the metro areas and even suburbs of the Great Boise area. Seems like there just being lazy and using a cheap method of saving money when they should be out laying down good pavement and leaving the rural areas open for chip seal since those roads are as travelled as much. Really think the ACHD needs to be regulated more. There a little too happy with chip seal. I've already got 2 dings in my cars wind shield now from that crap and the glass isn't even a year old. This is what happens when ACHD isn't attached to any governing office. That i Know of...Needs more regulation.

FYI,
The new road at warm springs and E Barber Park Rd, north of warm springs is done, all nice and new black pavement. The new Park Center bridge to open later this month.
There re-paving East and West bound lanes between Hwy 21 bridge and the camp ground by lucky peak.

I'm sure they'll all be chip sealed before snow falls.
Ok, I'm done.

I just rode Map Rock Rd last weekend and it looks like they chip sealed that one, not as scenic as I thought it'd be, but then it was also cold, windy & cloudy, can't wait for more sun. Had to pass it the first time by with a truck pulling a trailer heavy on my tail doing a good 70mph, didn't wanna end up roadkill.

Liteone

I Don't belive the chip seal on map Rock is new. I know there is not enough traffic to really pound the chips into the pavement.

e11charlie

Yeah they did that at the end of last year. It is actually a good surface.

Liteone

It's not a loose surface. but it does feel kinda bumpy
