UPDATE 07/01/05

Work has started on the paving of Washington Gulch Rd from Gothic Rd to the Winter trailhead at the North end of the Subdivision just past Stream View Lane.

The work will continue through late July and may cause considerable delays to your journey time to and from the subdivision.

The work on Washington Gulch Rd and the subdivision roads following the laying of the Natural Gas line has been completed. The Water and San dept have also been laying a pipeline from the Dam to the water treatment plant for future expansion of the treatment system. Work will start next year (2005) on the paving of Washington Gulch Rd and the subdivision roads will be paved the following year or perhaps the year after depending on the County work schedule.

Regarding interior roads, please think of snow storage when you make any plans for landscape improvements. As build-out occurs in our community, snow storage will become an increasingly difficult problem. In the past, snow was simply shoved to a neighboring vacant lot by private contractors as well as the county. Increasingly, the vacant lots are disappearing. In discussions with the county, the point was made that residents need to find space on their lots to store snow from their private drives. That means that any landscaping plans should take into account this snow storage need. Areas alongside the road also need to be kept clear of landscaping features that could conflict with county plowing efforts.
