Roads
The Woodmoor Mountain roads are a private road system and are maintained by funds allocated for this purpose by the Board of Directors from annual dues and by funds collected each year through a Douglas County General Improvement District (GID).
General Improvement Disctrict
A mill levy is assessed by the County on each property based on valuation and dispersed to the WMHOA through the GID. GID funds are paid to County approved contractors through a competitive bid system.
All contractors doing work on the common road system are required to meet all County regulations regarding insurance, workers compensation and bonds. No work is to be performed on the common road system with GID funds unless done by a contractor approved by Douglas County.
The Roads Committee Chair, Board Members and Committee Volunteers are unpaid residents of Woodmoor Mountain that graciously give of their time.
Please Drive Slowly
Not only do we share the roads with other drivers, but the abundant deer, fox and turkeys are bound to be in the road from time to time as well as your human neighbors!!
Many of us like to hike, walk our dogs, ride horses or mountain bike on our roads!
Mountain Driving Courtesy
From the Colorado Driver Handbook, Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles:
When vehicles meet on a steep, narrow road which is not wide enough for two vehicles, the vehicle going downhill must yield the right-of-way by backing up to a wider place or by stopping to leave sufficient space for the vehicle going uphill, except where it is more practicable for the vehicle going uphill to return to a wider space or turn out.
Winter Driving
Do not park your vehicle at the bottom of a downward sloping hill. Another vehicle descending the hill may not be able to avoid sliding into your parked vehicle!
Finally, be sure to maintain safe speeds for the conditions which exist - even though this may mean a longer time required to get to Highway 105. The increase in time required to be safe will be much less than that consumed in recovering from an accident.
