Spur Ranch road grading

Spur Ranch Road will be watered, graded and rolled starting Monday or Tuesday (9 or 10 May) from US 285 to the Railroad Tracks.  This process will remove most of the current ‘wash boarding’ for a period of time.  Without paving the road there is, however, no process that will remove the wash boarding permanently. Low humidity/dry weather increases the speed at which wash boarding returns. Please continue to drive the posted speed limit and encourage visitors and guests to do the same – heavy vehicles driving at excessive speeds on the road speed up the development of wash boarding.

 

Please drive slowly and carefully during this grading operation – the grader and roller operator can’t always see you and the grader itself weighs in at some 13 tons.

Time to collect the winter debris

SPUR RANCH ROAD

EARTH DAY CLEAN UP!

Its time to clean up the fall and winter’s collection of debris and interesting artefacts from on and beside Spur Ranch Road.  This is to invite you to participate in the 5th Annual Cleanup of Spur Ranch Road on Earth Day; 22 April, 2016.  We’ll need Spur Ranch Road residents to collect from these sections:

Section 1: Far West (west of Ave de Compadres) to the end of the road.

Section 2:  Ave de Compadres to Calleja Junipero.

Section 3: Calleja Junipero to the Railroad Tracks

Section 4: Railroad Tracks to Silver Saddle.

Section 5: Silver Saddle to US 285 (Roberta and I will do this section)

Please collect debris from the road itself, from the ditches on either side of the road and up to 10 feet beyond the ditches on either side of the road but…..no trespassing please!  Please collect any nails, screws, etc.  that might puncture tires as well as cans, bottles, plastic bags, in, fact, everything that isn’t ‘natural’ or fencing, signage, etc.  Wear high visibility clothing if you have it.  Please recycle what you can.

Let me know which section you and any neighbours and/or friends might like to take on by responding to this email.  Please let me know when you have finished  collecting on your section.

 

Many thanks, neighbours!!

Spur Ranch Road on Earth Day

Earth Day 2016 on Spur Ranch Road

 MARK YOUR CALENDAR

On Friday, 22 April, 2016 (Earth Day), from 8.00 A.M. to 10.00 A.M. we will clean up Spur Ranch Road's debris deposited during winter 2015 and early spring 2016.  

 

We'll need to clean the road and verges up to about 10 feet on either side from far west (Ave. de Compadres) to far east (NM 285). 

 

 Last year we collected approximately 50 pounds of glass and plastic bottles and metal cans (all recyclable), nails and screws (also recyclable and potential tire puncturers) ,  plastic bags (recyclable) and various of old rope, wire, stakes  bungee cords, chunks of concrete and unidentifiable materials of uncertain historic archaeological importance – always interesting to see what you may find out there.

 

Please join in and let me know which section(s) of the road you'll be responsible for picking up.

 

If you can't help on Earth Day please wave to your neighbours on the road as you drive by – they'll appreciate it.

 

Thanks in advance and please drive carefully and slowly,

Reminder: Spur Ranch Road Assoc. Annual Mtg THIS SUNDAY

Dear Neighbors,

The Spur Ranch Road Association annual meeting is this Sunday, December 6, at 3pm at my home (102 Spur Ranch Road). At the meeting, association members will be asked to vote on a 2016 budget and also the annual dues request. There are no open director positions this year.  The meeting provides an opportunity for members to learn more about the road's maintenance and improvement needs, and to ask questions.

The meeting is open to all interested parties, although voting is restricted to those members whose dues have been fully paid during 2015. If your dues are paid by your HOA, it is important that an HOA representative be present at the meeting to vote on your behalf. If you'd prefer to cast your own ballot, that can be arranged at the meeting. 

Beverages will be provided, and members are encouraged to bring a light appetizer or snack to share. Hope to see you then.

 

Regards,

Jim Garland, president
