The Mayors management style on these projects has been to make a big statement and then disappear. Example 1A – FastTracks. I defy anyone to tell me who is actively managing that project from the city.
is an RTD project. If you have a problem with how it’s being implemented, your beef should be with them and not the city and county of Denver.
I’m willing to give the Mayor the benefit of the doubt on this one, but that also means holding him accountable for what he’s said.
BUT, you’re telling me the city has no involvement/stake? It’s reprehensible that the city has no point person on the matter.
Hick has a track record of getting in front of the press to make big announcements and then disappearing when the times get tough. For more examples, see what happened with the Colorado History Museum, Union Station, even the way he treats his cabinet members. He has no vision for the city – he loves press and is an excellent retail politician – but isn’t able to actually be an effective executive.
Real executives take responsibility and set priorities. In Hicks time as Mayor Denver has had at best shifting priorities (based on the crisis of the day) and at worst none – leaving his staff to essentially work to avoid him.
…and doing so would save taxpayer money, why in hell were the projects scheduled for 5 years in the first place? To cost the taxpayers extra money?
The reason that doing it faster could, mind you only could, save the tax payers money is due to the temporarily lower cost of construction labor and materials. Part of the reason they were originally scheduled for five years was so as not to create to high a demand for labor locally and drive up prices/bids.
…you’re not the inquisitive type, are ya?
