Like many cities, Colorado Springs has experienced a decline in normal revenue sources. Rather than reducing the budget, the city council and management have discovered that by investing in more police officers, motorcycles and speed detectors, and by lowering speed limits throughout the city, the recession can be turned into a revenue enhancement bonanza; ostensibly in the name of safety. Many six lane arteries are posted at 25 MPH. If you are a visitor, try to creep through Colorado Springs so that you don’t become part of the tax base; it’s no longer a driver friendly village.
