 You migh hear "red or green" at a local Mexican restaurant, but what about Red or Green County Road Signs?? A red road sign means that the County does NOT maintain the road. Road maintenance is left up to the homeowners who reside along the Red Road. No snow plowing, no gravel, no smoothing out of the ruts by any one other than those who take it upon themselves to do so. This is best done by a mutual collaboration between those who live along the Red Road. Howevever, it can be easier in concept than in reality. It costs a lot to maintain a road, not to mention sync the various views concerning an acceptable level of maintenance. A Green Road is maintained by the County and funded by local tax dollars. You can hope for a decent amount of gravel, periodic smoothing of ruts and a fairly good chance that the snow plow will come by - and hopefully, sooner than later. A red road has curtailed the hopes and dreams of more than a few new comers to our area. If people move from warmer climates, with no first hand experience or accurate representation of what SNOW can be like in Southwestern Colorado, a red road can be the cause of plenty of frustration. Life can be great on a red road. However, as a native of the area - I am very glad to live on a Green Road - it is just one less thing on the long list of life's activities to be managed. As you look at homes - rental or purchase - take a quick look at the road sign that leads to the property under consideration. It could make a big difference in your future quality of life. |
