Roads
Committee lead : Dick Boggs
There are about 12 miles of roads in the Retreat, 10 miles of them "primary". These are privately owned and maintained by the RLA Roads Committee.
Volunteers and operators needed
We need a coordinator/contact person for the slash collection and chipping.
This job is to answer calls, arrange for check-out of the white trailer, and
coordinate with the Larimer County chipping program guy - they split the cost
with us if we do the right paperwork in a timely way. They have some criteria
for us to follow such as estimating the number of people who take their slash
there, pictures, and some easy-but-necessary paperwork and phone calls.
During the winter months, we need drivers for the yellow 4WD pickup with
snowplow. This is early-morning work on days when the snowfall is deeper than
4". We try to have two operators, one primary and the other a backup, and they
alternate each month or arrange it to meet their vacation schedules. The pickup
is usually parked at your house during that month so you can get to it easily
rather than having to drive from your house to the equipment barn by the
firehouse. It pays $15.00 per hour.

Speeding
Your neighbors appreciate it when you keep your speed below the limit of 20
mph. This also reduces the wear-and-tear on the roads and saves us all money.
Shifting into 4WD will help reduce the wash-boarding, particularly on the steep
sections and curves.
Parking
It
is essential that the roads are accessible to the snow plow, grader, and fire
department equipment. For your safety and that of your neighbors, do not park on
the roads. Guest’s vehicles can be parked along the road right-of-way, but only
temporarily.
