Timberline Neighborhood Summit County Utah

Hello all,

Efforts to clear and reestablish drainage culverts around the neighborhood is going well.

We have had numerous incidents where both residents and non residents have damaged some of that work by parking in the drainage culverts and collapsing the culvert walls. The road crew has to readdress the damaged areas which costs all of us.

Please help and let guests and contractor’s know to stay out of the culverts.

Thank you

Good morning neighbors,

Roads update:

1. The Douglas culvert work is complete and both sides of the pavement are shored up to halt the asphalt damage issues.
2. Spring melt control measures have started on far west Ponderosa. This work will last only a day or two longer.
3. Work will begin shortly on the dog leg from east Ponderosa to the “doll-houses”. The rocks placed along the east edge of that stretch will be removed. This serves two purposes: 1. Widen the road to allow more comprehensive snow management. 2. Remove hazards (rocks and dirt mounds) that have historically posed a considerable threat to the neighborhood heavy equipment limiting operations.
4. Occasional grading continues on the west Ponderosa pitch and parts of Douglas to reduce washboarding. Please focus on reducing speeds to reduce road wear.
5. Trial dust abatement operations are ongoing in certain areas, specifically the east side.
6. Some riders on bikes, e-bikes, and quads continue to do doughnuts, skids, and burn-outs on the roads. This damages the roads and creates long term issues. Please help.
7. Some drivers (neighbors and contractors) are still damaging recent road/culvert work by driving into the culverts to park. Please help.
8. The fire emergency evacuation route gate on west Ponderosa was opened and Summit Park traffic started transiting the neighborhood. Summit County Council Resolution 2020-12 governs the use and control of this area. The gate is to remain closed, unlocked, and free of obstructions/parking. * if you see the gate open, please close it and secure it with the 2x8 board on the Summit Park side.

Thank you,

Beat to all

🚨 TODAY IS NOT THE DAY TO DO ANYTHING THAT COULD START A FIRE.

Utah is facing one of the most dangerous fire weather days we’ve seen this year.

The Storm Prediction Center has placed central and southern Utah under an EXTREMELY CRITICAL fire weather risk, with nearly all of the state under a Critical Fire Weather Risk.

Expect southwest winds of 25-35 mph, gusts up to 45 mph, humidity as low as 5-15%, and dangerous fire weather conditions that could last 10+ hours.

This is the kind of weather where one spark can become a fast-moving wildfire in minutes. With the Cottonwood Fire already burning and vegetation across Utah critically dry, firefighters are on high alert for any new fire starts.

Please do your part today. Skip anything that could create a spark. Hold off on target shooting, campfires, and fireworks. Don’t park over dry grass, and make sure trailer chains aren’t dragging.

Remember… about 80% of Utah’s wildfires this year have been human-caused.

Let’s not add another fire to the list today. Protect Utah. 🔥

Hello neighbors,

Please be vigilant and aware.

Good morning all.

It appears at least one of the large wildland fires in the valley was started by carelessness.

Our current fire danger is concerning and increasing.

Please stay vigilant and champion safe practices/measures to keep our wildland interface safe.

Best to all.

Hello all,

Roads update….

Summer road work continues with the TSSD road crew.

1. Please yield the right of way to TSSD heavy equipment. The operators will flag you by once they see you. Don’t try and “squeak by” heavy equipment. Operators have restricted fields of view. They are constantly checking for traffic and hazards so please be patient. If an operator doesn’t acknowledge you, just honk your horn and wait to be waved by. Bicyclists, e-bikes, and pedestrians are particularly difficult to see. Please talk to your young riders and caution them.

2. The focus this summer is reestablishing culverts. Good progress is being made. Unfortunately, road crews have had to revisit and repair numerous culverts where contractors and others have driven into and out of the culverts to park often times with heavy trailers. This collapses the culverts walls. Please have your visitors and contractors be mindful not to damage the work that is being done.

3. Repairs were completed on the west Ponderosa pitch. Please drive slowly to avoid the considerable “washboarding” that can form there.

4. Work will soon begin on the Douglas pitch culverts on each side of the road. Stone aggregate is to be placed (by hand) on the culvert walls to preserve the pavement edges. Portions of the pitch will be narrowed to one lane and marked with cones. Please reduce speeds to less than 5 mph on the pitch if the work crew is present. Similar work is scheduled for Bristlecone at a later date.

5. Some folks are damaging the roads by creating ruts while doing trick riding on bikes, e-bikes, and quads. It may seem harmless but it destroys the mag chloride “shell” and starts a process of uneven wear, interrupted drainage, and potholes. Please help avoid this.

6. Contact TSSD for all roads concerns. The road crew scope of work is directed solely by the Board.

Thank you

Good afternoon Timberline,

Ralph got separated from his owner on the trail east of Cedar Way. He likely headed to the stream. Please keep an eye out for him and if you find him please contact his people.

Thanks

Good morning all,

The early morning heavy snow isn’t covering roads but is causing issues for traffic.

There are a number of trees that are either broken off and in the road or leaning into and over the road impeding traffic.

Please check your property boundaries with the road and address any issues from snow laden trees and bushes affecting traffic.

If you are out of town or here and would like a helping hand please respond to this post. I will make every effort to assist you.

Thanks
