Road Maintenance Log

7/9/2024 – Road crews will be working to clean out cattle guards on Friday 7/12/2024 at Geronimo Entrance and Lope Loop Entrance off of County Road 220. Traffic patterns will be affected by these activities. Please plan accordingly.
We are waiting on a dig locate right now to replace a culvert on Black Cloud Circle 200 yards west of Serenity Ridge entrance. We will provide 24-48 hour notice for the road closure during this activity.

Planning:
The planning phase is based on needs assessment and is the intention of the road manager for
near future maintenance items to be addressed. Many of these plans are dependent on budget
availability as well as unforeseen events such as road washouts and extreme weather
occurrences.
1. Remaining maintenance to Kerrs Hill Road
2. Culvert replacement on Black Cloud in the Serinity Ridge area. (Please not this project
will require the road to be shut down for at least a few hours please plan
accordingly)
3. Cattle Guard Cleaning at Lope Loop and County Road 220, and Geronimo Road will
begin soon. (Please note that these routes will be closed to traffic while the work is
in progress, please plan accordingly)

Please be Mindful of Pine Beetles
Several BDR homeowners have cut and removed pine trees due to pine beetle infestation.  Fortunately, it is not an epidemic but we encourage everyone to pay close attention to trees on their property and neighboring properties.  According to an article by the Colorado State University (CSU) Extension Office, “The mountain pine beetle epidemic, drought, and most recently broken branches, tops, and toppled trees due to heavy snow or wind have contributed to the population increase.”  We typically notice pine beetle attack after it’s too late –  when the tree fades at the top or the entire tree. There are tell-tale signs of pine beetle attack before the tree fades, and we should be mindful of these signs to take immediate corrective action.  The link to the CSU article on the Ips beetle is below.  Please take a few minutes to read it, and share it with your neighbors.  Thank you!

Trees In Road Ditches
There are many trees that are growing in BDR road ditches or within 5 feet from the ditch. They are creating or will create a problem in properly maintaining our roads. The BDRPOA Road Managers are in the process of flagging larger trees that will be removed by a contractor at no cost to the POA. Property owners who have smaller trees that are in road ditches or within 5 feet of the ditch may remove them to relocate on their property. Please be aware of underground utility lines!  If you remove any trees, do not be concerned about back filling the holes because the road grader will take care of it. There is no set timeline for the tree removal project; therefore, please remove any desired small trees as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please contact your respective Road Manager (North Side: David Tolar, (678) 943-3169 and South Side: Bud Dunn, (302) 437-4786).
