Boulder County may presumably be home to a healthy number of vegans, but that doesn't mean the local transportation chief, George Gerstle, will seriously consider PETA [2]'s saucy proposal to promote veganism while defraying the costs of repaving ruddy roads. To receive the much-needed cash for the road work in unincorporated parts of the county, officials need only stencil one of PETA's ads on each repaved road, writes the Longmont Daily Times-Call [3]. "The ad features a sexy silhouette of a curvaceous woman holding a sign that reads, 'Word on the Street: Go Vegan! PETA,'" the organization wrote in a letter to Gerstle last week. PETA says it is earnest about its offer, but Gerstle says he won't respond to it. The county will conduct a postcard election this week to gauge about 10,000 homeowners’ willingness to help pay for the rehabilitation, which would cost each homeowner about $130 a year for 15 years (via 9News [4]). Some residents in Boulder's Knollwood community don't like PETA's proposal. "I'm against it," Barry Baer says. "I don't want to have ads in my street, and I think it's a safety hazard."
