Subdivision Roads
The Boulder County Comprehensive Plan (BCCP) provides guidance on gravel and paved roads accepted for maintenance in unincorporated Boulder County. Per the BCCP, Boulder County Road Maintenance cannot conduct major repairs (full roadway resurfacing) on subdivision roads, which are called “Local Access Roadways.” Our crews still conduct maintenance operations on local access roads, including: snow removal; pothole patching; clearing of ditches, culverts, and other drainage structures; replacement/repairs of sidewalks; and roadway crack sealing and patching to maintain public safety.
