streets
asphalt
on
arapahoe
deteriorated
significantly,
resulting
in
reddit
areas,
storm
drainage
issues
and
cracks
since
june
of
2013.
Crews
have
replaced
the
old
asphalt
with
concrete
and
made
additional
improvements.
So.
B
The
concrete
is
expected
to
stay
in
good
condition
for
at
least
50
years,
and
that
will
help
support
the
more
than
23,000
vehicles
that
use
this
stretch
of
arapahoe
each
day.
In
addition
to
the
concrete
reconstruction
there's
been
sidewalk,
reconstruction
curb
gutter
reconstruction,
the
sidewalks
have
been
widened
in
places
the
existing
multi-use
path
and
student
parent
drop-off
lane
along
boulder
high
school
property
has
been
extended.
There's
been
significant
underground
utility
improvements
and
storm
drainage
improvements,
and
those
will
help
maintain
and
preserve
the
concrete
for
many
years
to
come.

A
Construction,

More
tools
we
give
the
students
to
do
their
job
ahead
of
time
before
an
emergency
happens,
the
better
prepared
they
are
and
the
better
prepare
they
can
do
assisting
us
when
when
something
does
happen,
so,
for
example,
they're
learning
compression
only
CPR
more
often
than
not
people
run
into
medical
problems
before
they
run
into
fire
problems.
So
they
learn
about
smoke
how
to
get
out
of
a
fire
quickly
how
to
use
a
fire
extinguisher
when
a
fire
alarm
sounds
what
to
do.
What
happens
when
a
smoke
fills
a
dorm
room?
