Narrative:
On a related note, the in-pavement, amber hold short lighting that is imbedded along the hold short line across taxiway F at runway 25 in den has been inoperative since the airport opened, and inspite of many reports over ATC frequencys by myself, nothing has been done. It seems the airport authority/authorized at den is not taking the runway incursion problem very seriously at all. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter stated he has submitted numerous reports to company about the outage, as well as frequency advising den ground controller -- all without response. Callback conversation with tower specialist revealed the following information: tower specialist advised that they are aware of the outage, and confirms the outage ever since its construction. The outage will be added to the next FAA/airport maintenance/construction meeting agenda.
