AdkAction.org has announced a new campaign on Adirondack Gives, Adirondack Foundation’s crowdfunding site for nonprofits, community groups and municipalities.
AdkAction.org is raising money to help fund a study to calculate the cost of bridge maintenance and repair correlated with the amount of road salt used by counties.
The project will be live for 60 days on Adirondack Gives website, and includes a short video. The goal is to raise $4,500.
AdkAction.org was founded in 2011, and aims to get things done for the Adirondacks by taking on non-partisan, non-controversial projects. Currently, initiatives include road-salt reduction, water quality protection, universal broadband access, use of technology in the public schools, Monarch butterfly conservation and promoting Adirondack art.
AdkAction.org is a not-for-profit, non-partisan 501(c)(3).

This is a good question. But it is probably one that is difficult to figure out. There are so many variable going on at the same time. Seems like they will need a lot more than $4500 to get the answer to this question.
Don’t forget to include the cost to motor vehicles. I would still be driving my 1962 LeSabre if it weren’t for the tin worm.
Your 1963 LeSabre might have been wrapped around a tree without road salt.
Perhaps. I learned to drive in the snow belt so I used chains. 5 years in Syracuse dissolved the Buick and about a dozen other cars. The human species survived nearly half a century driving in snow without salt. It is possible – just requires skill & forethought. The problem is no one wants to buy proper tires, drive slow, and learn the proper skills.
