The voting period for PBH Advisory Ballot for Road Rehabilitation is now closed.

THANK YOU for providing your vote to assist the HOA in creating a comprehensive plan for the roads in our community!

See results of this ballot here.

 

·       In 1995, Boulder County Gov’t updated its Comprehensive Plan to define and state that subdivision roads [which includes Pine Brook Hills] only receive Maintenance, and DO NOT receive Rehabilitation.

                 http://www.bouldercounty.org/find/library/government/bccptransportationelement.pdf

 

o   Maintenance: Snow removal, sweeping, asphalt patching, crack filling, road grading, cleaning of culverts and roadside drainage, and repair or replacement of traffic signs and pavement markings. (Maintenance is what our road taxes cover and will continue to cover independent of additional funding for rehabilitation)

 

o   Rehabilitation: Reconstruction, asphalt overlay, and surface treatment (Boulder County Gov’t expects each subdivision to pay for this work themselves)

 

·       As of 2009, Pine Brook Roads are in much worse shape than the average road in Boulder County and are in need of Rehabilitation  (Boulder County primary roads are 66% good; PBH only 17% good)   )  See Subdivision Working Group Report:  Road Quality Information (PQI) by Individual Roads

 

·       In July 2010, a county-wide LID, recommended by the Subdivision Working Group, to rehabilitate all Boulder County subdivision roads was voted down:

 

o   Overall vote for all Boulder County subdivisions was 42% to 58% AGAINST the LID

 

o   Within Pine Brook Hills, the vote was 62% to 38% FOR the LID

 

·       Fall 2010, Boulder County indicates that they are willing to work with subdivisions that voted for the LID.  Mike Thomas, Boulder County DOT, was assigned to that task.  Pine Brook Hills Roads Committee has been working with him ever since. 

·       Sept 2011, Boulder County has finalized some figures for us plus put a draft bonding resolution out for comment.See the Q&As update for information on the cost of road rehabilitation and the bonding issue:  PBH Road Repaving Questions and Answers modified from 20 Sept meeting

            - Pine Brook Hills Roads Repaving Questions and Answers.

·       Pine Brook Hills Roads Committee is committed to work with our community and the county to find a solution for getting our roads rehabilitated. 

 

·       Below are files that should help you understand this situation more completely.
