​Keep Sidewalks Open for Use

6/1/2022

 
Please do not block any residential sidewalk with cars, RVs, trailers, trucks, visiting vehicles, etc. so pedestrians can navigate the neighborhood easily and safely. Many residents and visitors enjoy using the sidewalks daily and often have difficulties navigating around a sidewalk obstruction.  It can be dangerous if they are required to walk in the street and leave the safety of the sidewalk.

City Code prohibits the blocking of sidewalks.
10.12.101: STOPPING, STANDING OR PARKING IN SPECIFIED PLACES:
No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic, vehicular or pedestrian, or in compliance with directions of a police officer or traffic control device on a sidewalk or pedestrian walking area.

Homeowners responsible for their sidewalks

6/1/2022

 
Please examine your sidewalks for offsets or uneven surfaces (usually from tree roots) and have them repaired as soon as weather allows.  As always, you are welcome to report issues with homeowner or PCVA property to PineCreek@ehammersmith.com. ​

​Per the community guidelines (3.2), homeowners are responsible for the maintenance of landscape, irrigation and sidewalks within the easements on their property.  Lot owners are also responsible for the maintenance of landscape, irrigation and sidewalks in the street right-of-way from the back of curb to their property line.

According to city code, homeowners must ensure their sidewalks are clean and undamaged to allow pedestrians to pass freely.  The city can levy a fine for sidewalk litter, debris, obstructions or projections or a homeowner may be liable for injuries sustained on a damaged or uneven sidewalk.

The City's  Concrete Cost Share Program (CCSP) exists as an option for property owners to repair the concrete adjacent to their property.  Visit https://coloradosprings.gov/public-works/page/concrete-maintenance


Burn Ban Order Effective May 16, 2022

5/16/2022

 
Burn Ban Order Effective May 16, 2022 at Noon (MDT)
The Colorado Springs Fire Department, by and through its Division of the Fire Marshal, has determined that measures are necessary to heighten fire hazard awareness and further reduce fire risks to protect the health and safety of our community. Therefore, due to current and forecasted drought conditions, exceptionally dry fuel moisture levels, increases in grass fire occurrence on undeveloped areas of Colorado Springs, as well as the earlier than normal National Preparedness Level of 2, the City of Colorado Springs has enacted a Burn Ban Order.

Prepare for Emergencies

5/15/2022

 
Know Your Risks. Make Your Plan. Improve Your Outcome. 
  • Prepare for emergencies before the crisis or disaster impacts your family or the community. 
  • The Colorado Springs Office of Emergency Management provides great resource to help residents get ready for a bad day. Topics include:
  • Know Your hazards (flash flooding, wildfire, severe winter weather)
  • Sign up for Emergency Alerts. Not all emergency alerts provide the same information so it’s important to understand the types of alerts out there and what they provide. 
  • Make a Plan. Creating plans for family communications, loved ones with special needs, household matters, financial documents and evacuation are all part of being well prepared.  
  • Build A Kit. A disaster supplies kit is simply a collection of basic items your household may need in the event of an emergency.
  • Visit the site for in-depth discussion and handy checklists at

​Plan to Evacuate BEFORE You Must

5/13/2022

 
Many kinds of emergencies can cause you to have to evacuate. In some cases, you may have a day or two to prepare while other situations might call for an immediate evacuation. Planning is vital to making sure that you can evacuate quickly and safely no matter what the circumstances.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has many resources at its site to help plan for emergencies year-round, 24/7.
