Resident urges Park County to repair Valley of the Sun roads
Summary
A Park County resident asked commissioners to prioritize road repairs in the Upper Valley of the Sun neighborhood, citing exposed rocks, washboards and repeated tows of stranded vehicles; county staff said they will follow up.
Anna Kronovich, a Park County resident of Bobcat Lane in Valley of the Sun, told the Board of County Commissioners on Aug. 20, 2025, that three neighborhood access roads are in poor condition and asked the county to provide clearer ways for residents to submit road‑repair requests.
Kronovich told commissioners Ventura Road is “more of a trail” with large exposed rocks that prevent typical passenger vehicles from using it safely and said Route 1 and Sacramento Road have severe washboarding and an incline between Pinecone and 14A where vehicles have lost wheels. She said GPS directions often route short‑term rental guests onto Ventura Road and that multiple vehicles have required towing.
Kronovich asked the county to improve grading and road maintenance and requested an online county page or clearer instructions for residents to submit repair requests. County Manager Lucas Meyer told her staff had taken notes and offered a card for follow‑up; commissioners directed staff to contact Kronovich and investigate the roads she identified.
No formal action or spending was authorized during public comment. Commissioners said they understand Park County’s limited budget and noted staff will follow up to identify next steps and reporting channels for residents.
